What do yall think? This is the International 7300 CXT
This beast can tow 13 tons, stands 9 feet tall, 8 feet wide, 21 1/2 feet long.
It only costs $95,000 for the base model. One fully loaded with leather seats, black-walnut wood trim, DVD player, rearview camera, and bed that tilts will put you back $115,000.
Its diesel engine gets a measly 8 miles to the gallon and can haul the same payload in one trip as three regular size pickups. The GVWR is 25,900 pounds.

Sorry everybody, this must be a quadruple post. Sheesh.

 

for something that big/heavy 8mpg is good. but damn do some guys really need to compensate for short commings that much?

 

They would sell many of them in my neighborhood.
All the mindless / stupid / zombie soccer moms would buy them up to take their brats to practice.

It's hard enough finding a parking spot at Costco and Wal-Mart now!

 

That looks like something you'd see as a wrecker (tow truck) or some kind of parts delivery truck, not a personal daily driver....BUT there are some out there that would drive it.

 

I wonder what it would look like slammed to the mat with some 30" wheels on it, and some low-profile tires.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but dosen't that thing not have the 'real' diesel that the big rigs actually have. I thought it had a modified smaller version of its big brothers under the hood.

 

IMO?

do-do

<EDIT>

 

i bet you have to have your CDL to drive that

 

This news like so.....2004.

 

I think they kept it under 26,000 lbs so you don't.

 

You don't need a CDL, and this is CXT post #14 I think... $%*@(@ Search!!!

 

^ ^ ^ ^

Lmao.

 

curb weight: 260 Tons


Its maximum load is 350 tons and the box is capable of holding 2 Greyhound buses and 2 pick-up trucks. Each tire is 11 Feet (3.4 Metres) and weighs 4 tons.

 

the best truck there is. Hauls at least 360 tons.
