    OT, but it's one of the funnier Jay Leno Garage articles from Popular Mechanics.
    He is given one of those HUGE International CXT "Pickup Trucks" for a road test and gives it a workout like most HAMBers would:

    A lot of the articles in his Popular mechanics archive are worth reading.

    I guess that's the kind of guy I would expect to buy a cartoon like truck like this. Someone with "F' You" money who would think people would be impressed by his owning it. It's not like it is practical as a pickup....say you knew someone who had one and you wanted him to help you hauling a 32 Tudor body you found. How the hell would you get the body up 6 or 7 feet in the air to get it in the truck's bed? Ramps?...they would have to be 30 plus feet long and plenty wide. I guess someone could add one of those ugly big truck power tailgates.

    One way or another, International will probably sell all they make.

    the best damn thing about trucks that big...they make hot rods seem downright practical.
