Garganto Truck
As proof positive that there's no such thing as "too big" of a truck, we have the Navistar CXT:
At 258 inches, or 21-1/2 feet long, the CXT is about 4-1/2 feet longer than the new Hummer H2 pickup, and about 2 inches longer than the F-350 Crew Cab ... At 108 inches, or 9 feet, the CXT stands only a foot below a basketball rim and more than two feet above the Hummer or the F-350.
With, of course, pictures. Looks like a cement truck that got its butt chopped off.
Actually, I wouldn't worry too much about this one. Both Ford and GM are having trouble moving their monster SUVs in numbers big enough to make them profitable, and this one just takes all their troubles and makes them bigger. At a planned production of 50 per year, even if they sell out you won't be seeing one any time soon.
But hey, if it takes a rich guy's toy to keep three hundred employees working between cement truck orders, I don't really have a problem with that.
The new truck is proof that stupidity never ends, vehicles will just keep getting uglier, and people do not care about the environment.
This new truck is also proof enough that men continue to need to compensate for a small penis.
Oy.

Posted by: Pat on September 14, 2004 01:21 PMI've had a ford f350 crew cab dually as a tow vehicle for 14 years....I've had to drive it from time to time as a primary vehicle (14 years, under 60,000 miles)
I can't imagine the stupidity of the persons who'd buy the Navistar CXT as a daily-use vehicle.
Posted by: Liz Ditz on September 14, 2004 01:50 PMwell, i can imagine that certain people would buy one. however, if they're trying to compensate, there are much better choices:
Porsce 911 - starts at $69K
BMW Z8 - $131.5K
Cadillac XLR Convertible - $76K
Dodge Viper - $82K
Ferrari 360 Modena - $147K
Ford (wait, I mean Jaguar) XK (wait, I meant Taurus) - $69K
and so on... plus, unless the girl he's trying to impress is toothless an into marrying close blood relatives, I think any of these would be a bit more impressive...
