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</TD></TR></TABLE>

my favorite part is how it doesn't come with a tow hitch. WTF???

only america could produce something so ridiculous. places like paris are attempting to ban SUV's and we just keep making larger and more wasteful vehicles.

if I lived out in the country I would rock one of those big time.

in the city/urban setting its useless. no need to have such a high tow capacity.

a ford/chevy/dodge with long bed, crew cab, & dualies would be plenty compared to the monster truck you just posted. but should be lower priced

It's a joke just like the last in Porsche's SUV upgrades...

Uber Cayenne: Porsche to offer 500-hp version of sport ute, bigger sunroof
DALE JEWETT | Automotive News
Posted Date: 9/14/04
Porsche Cayenne fans can start working on their holiday wish list now.

The German automaker said Tuesday that it will have a 500-horsepower version of the Cayenne sport wagon, as well as a bigger sunroof to catch the blur of scenery through, on sale in December.

The high-performance Cayenne is a turbo model that has its engine control computer reprogrammed and the turbocharger intercooler changed to improve airflow, under Porsche's Tequipment factory tuning program. The changes boost horsepower from the 4.5-liter V-8 engine by 11 percent to 500 hp, from 450 hp in the Cayenne Turbo. Torque increases 12 percent to 515 pounds-feet, from 460 pounds-feet.

Other changes include larger front and rear disc brake rotors, larger front brake calipers and stiffer suspension components.

Porsche says the tuned version of the Cayenne Turbo will run from 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 167 mph.

A 2005 Cayenne Turbo with the Tequipment package will have a suggested retail price of $110,015, including a $815 destination charge, a $19,900 premium over the Cayenne Turbo.

Current owners of the Cayenne Turbo can have their vehicles retrofitted with the Tequipment package for $18,500.

Through the first eight months of this year, Porsche has sold 11,420 Cayennes, up 52 percent from the same period last year.

A new option for all 2005 Cayennes is a 15-square-foot sunroof that extends over the front and second row seats. The glass roof has three moveable sections and one fixed section. The front section acts as wind deflector, while sections over the front seats or rear seats can be opened separately or together.

The option will cost $3,900.

Porsche also is offering a rear vision camera as an option on all Cayennes. The option mounts a camera below the rear window. The camera is activated when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear, with the view shown on a screen on the instrument panel.

The camera option is priced at $1,680, but also requires the Porsche Communication Management system option, which cost $2,780 for 2004 models in the base and S trim levels, but was standard equipment on the Turbo models.

I don't think it's a joke, it was on International's website.
