Thanks to Yonny Kellerman for tipping me off on the above monster pick-up, produced (as far as I can tell) by a team of customisers in the States located at www.F650supertruck.com and Biglorryblog strongly suggests you pay their site a visit as it's all rather 'awesome'... As hyperboles go.
As far as I can make out they take a standard Ford F650 like this one above then go to work on it so you end up with an 'Xtreme' Ford F650 Supertruck... And the ultimate XUV" (whatever that is) complete with a 325hp Cummins engine (which should move things along nicely) six-speed Allison auto, full air suspension and a whole shed-load of goodies---and with five models to choose from you can pretty much get one to suit all tastes---as this selection of shots shows...
For starters you can order it with seating from 4 to 12 people (just right for parties) and still have a regular pickup bed in the back too... Check out the monster wheels and side tanks with built in steps.
Mind you they don't come cheap Xtreme models start at a $94,000 while a XUV will set you back $180,000---still you'll get plenty of admiring glances driving down to the chippie in one! However, some BLB readers will doubtless be saying... 'The world's biggest pickup? I don't think so...Surely this is what you mean..?"
Yes it's the roarty, throbby International CXT monster pickup powered by (as fas as I recall) a similarly-huge Cummins lump and plated at around 7.5 tonnes... Before you tow anything with it. Now click through here for more shots of the CXT.
Like the Xtreme Ford F650 Supertruck it's quite a climb up into the cabin...but the view is pretty impressive. I'm surprised those three blokes from 'Top Gear' haven't discovered these two pickups on steriods. Though considering what they might get up to in them that's probably a good idea... Meanwhile, if you know of a pickup that's even bigger than the CXT or the F650 let me know.
