This truck retails for $76,000, but there's a lot of truck stuffed into that price. It was introduced last year at the Chicago Auto Show with a big V8 turbo diesel engine. It may be a smaller, two wheel drive version of the CXT, but it is still big enough to require a built-in side step. How many Ford F-650s come from the factory with that option?
At the current time, the only transmission sold with this truck is a 5 speed Allison.
Some future innovations will include spoilers in front and back, airbag suspension for a softer ride, and DVD entertainment. International will also be making smaller trucks for their XT line, much in the same way Hummer is slimming down their line with each successive H series.
These trucks are not easy to find. It's not like you have an International dealership in your hometown. Many of these are sold to high profile buyers. If you are not a celebrity, you'll have to buy it the old way: through eBay auctions. Actually, I guess that's the new way. What a time we live in!
