Pick-up truck anyone? Check this one from International!
International is unveiling its new pickup, the largest ever. The International CXT is nearly twice the size of a Ford F-350 Super Duty pickup -- and it makes full-size SUV's look like Mini Coopers.
It's the first pickup from the commercial vehicle company in three decades. The truck, that the company calls the world's biggest production pickup, is being produced in Texas.
Born out of a 20-ton hauler and other International severe service trucks used by the construction, government and waste industries, the International CXT is built on the same platform as dump trucks and snowplows.
The front of the CXT looks like International's other heavy duty trucks. But it can seat five and boosts such creature comforts as a flat screen TVs, DVD players, leather seats, a fold-down bench that can be used as a bed and a satellite radio system.
The company says the truck hauls three times the payload of consumer pickup trucks, is all-wheel drive, uses air brakes and offers towing, dumping and tilt bed capability.
Rob Swim, International's marketing director, said the monster pickup will appeal to image-conscious contractors and other small business owners.
"While there is nothing tougher or more extreme on the market than the International CXT, it is as much a statement of success as it is performance. If you brought this truck to the playground, you'd be king of the dirt pile," Swim said.
But they'll need thick wallets. Prices for the CXT start at more than $90,000 and can easily top $100,000 with options. Then there's the cost of a fill-up. The truck gets just 7 mpg of diesel.
International officials expect to sell nearly 100 CXT's this year.
POSSIBLY TOO MUCH TRUCK. LIKE THAT’S A PROBLEM.
Your eyes don’t deceive you. It’s a pickup truck. From International. Which makes it much more than a pickup truck. It’s an International®CXT – born out of the proven International 7300 severe service truck used by professionals for the most rugged applications.
So you get all the attributes of a commercial truck – but you don’t need a commercial driver’s license to drive it.*
The legendary International®DT 466 diesel engine provides up to 6 tons of hauling power.**The air-ride cab and seats provide an exceptionally smooth ride. And aspacious and well-appointed interior ensures automotive-like comfort and convenience.
The result of more than a century of leadership in the truck market, the International CXT delivers performance. In a big way
*State restrictions may apply. Talk to your local motor vehicle department.
**Tow hitch required at extra cost.
Seamless Profile
Born out of a 20-ton hauler and other International ® severe service trucks used by the construction, government and waste industries, the International CXT is built on the same platform as dump trucks and snowplows. As a result, it is a vehicle unrivaled in capability, size and appearance. It hauls three times the payload of consumer pick-up trucks, is all-wheel drive, uses air brakes for unmatched stopping ability and offers towing, dumping and tilt bed capability. Additionally, it features a spacious interior with crew cab design that seats six and can be customized to meet owners’ specific needs – from paint color to air seats to flat screen TVs.
Superior Interior
For people who want to make a statement while driving in luxury, try a customized black International CXT featuring leather interior with wood grain trim, reclining captain chairs, a fold-down bench that can be used as a bed, an overhead compartment with drop-down DVD, an XM satellite premium radio system and a rear-mounted camera for increased visibility behind the vehicle. The drivetrain features a smooth-shifting Allison 2500 Series 5-speed automatic transmission and the ride is softened by a cab air suspension system.
Extreme Work
The International CXT features the legendary International ® DT 466 diesel engine with a horsepower rating of 220 hp and 540 lb. ft. of torque capable of hauling or towing pretty much anything you can put into or behind it. Other horsepower ratings are also available. With an electronically controlled turbocharger and four valves per cylinder, the engine delivers responsiveness, acceleration, outstanding fuel efficiency, extended serviceability and long-term durability. Among businesses for whom the International CXT is ideal: construction, lawn care businesses, lawn and garden stores, brick or stone contractors, home builders, carpenters, landscape designers, roofers, home improvement companies, auto body repair or custom paint shops, commercial boating businesses and boat racers.
