Monster Truck


iconInternational's CXT pickup truck is big. How big? Well...

Based on a platform that the International Truck and Engine Corporation uses for building dump trucks and snowplows, the CXT stands 9 feet tall, 8 feet wide and 21.5 feet long. The top of the bed sits more than 6 feet high. CXT's closest siblings are 20-ton haulers used by construction companies, governments and waste industries.
Take a look at how it towers over the people standing next to it.

That's camouflage paint (not mud), by the way.

The CXT weighs 14,500 lbs, but still gets up to 10 miles per gallon and 540 ft-lbs of torque from it's 7.6 liter diesel powerplant.

An absolute requirement in your stable of vehicles if you have lots and lots of recyclables to haul...
...oops! I may have just offended some greenies.

Can I get mine with a rack for a Barrett .50 cal?
Oh, no! Now I've gone and offended the VPC, The Brady Campaign,...

I can't believe how small the motor is. Bad ass though.
