New International - one big pickup

[dan_gilson]

A friend of mine just sent this to me.

The suggestion was that International was trying for some Hummer business.

I don't necessarily agree. It is a LARGE truck. I wonder what the suggested price would be.



I also see some problems here: Like you might need a class B to drive. In most states you might be required to go through scales. Higher bridge tolls too.



Also at 220HP it is less than my stock 98. 5 at 235HP.

Super Dooty what?

Game over, IH wins.



Little high for goosenecks?

Obviously not a working truck. Couldn't hitch a GN, and maybe even a bumper trailer (where's my 2 foot drop hitch??), and how about that bed. Who in the he11 would want to have to load anything (firewood etc) that high????? Park it next to your H2, yuppie!!!

I agree, at 14500 lbs crub weight that leaves only 11000 lbs capability which means a 3500 will out do it at 16,400 towing capacity. The only thing I see that this has on the rams is the larger feul tank but for a savings to 50K I can get a bed tank and havce just as much capacity.

Simple solution, just convert your fifth wheel / goosneck trailer to a tag trailer keeping the same attachment height and then use the bumper hitch on the truck, should be about right.

Looks pretty beastly! It would compete favorably to the hummer with the small bed. The ford boys should notice that they put in the 466 (I-6 cylinder), and not the 444 (V-8 power stroke). And in gm-land, "how come this gets the allison 2500 and we're still stuck with the 1000?" Add $30K to the price for a new garage/barn. :-laf
