"My Hummer H2 Is Too Small!"

Introducing International’s >CXT.

The CXT is 2 feet taller, 4½ feet longer, twice as heavy and totes more than five times the cargo weight of H2. “You can put the Hummer in back and take it with you,” quips Nick Matich, vice president at International Truck and Engine.

It’s also about twice the price of H2, about the same as H1. It starts at $93,000, runs $105,000 typically equipped and tops out at $115,000 with DVD player, leather upholstery, tilting dump box and rear-view camera.

Yes. It has A TILTING DUMP BOX and leather to boot.

And what about the mileage?

CXT has a commercial-duty diesel engine good for six to 10 miles per gallon of fuel; air brakes like you’d find on a semitractor; an Allison automatic transmission for severe duty; and all-wheel drive is standard.

Where does the obsession with size end? The M1 Abrams, perhaps?

More information at the CXT site. Gah!
