Well at least those only in the 5th gen section will see it.

Why are they comparing its size to a H2 anyway? The H2 isnt that big, its over 10" shorter than a Tahoe or Expedition and about the same height and width. The Suburban and Excursion are much longer. Hell, the Camaro is a couple inches longer than an H2

Hey, I saw one of those weird things on the road a couple of weeks ago, it has a Ford Super Duty dualle bed on it. They are probably going to be built in Louisville which right down the Interstate from here.

The CXT combines towing, dumping and tilt bed capability with 220 hp and 540 lb.-ft. of torque.
Don't GM, Dodge, and Ford all have available engines with more torque than that? Personally I think a truck that large looks a little silly with just a little bed on the back.

"The company plans to build between 600 and 1,000 units next year at its plant in Garland, Texas and it's hoping that the vehicle will find customers among tradesmen like landscapers, carpenters, and brick or stone contractors, and home builders."

Re: Who's got the biggest truck now?

Wonderful, being built in my area. I guess it is time to implement my plan...
It is finally time to start making fun of people I meet who drive SUVs and Trucks. Slowly, but surely, I might be able to kill off this SUV fad... You never know...

There you go! Makes me wonder how much torque some of these 600 hp tractor trailer engines make.
