commercial extreme pickup

[WildDreamer]

Starting at $93,000:

Monster truck goes to market

 

[kevman]

imagine that thing crashing into a civic or something...ouch!

 

[007bond]

Awesome, I'm in for 2.

 

[cpals]

I'd hate to get rear-ended by one of those..

"You think about the people who haul big horse trailers, big boats, all that sort of thing. They have big egos, and you can see where that goes," Matich says. "I'll have a camouflage version next year. Hunting and fishing lodges should snap that up."

wow...just wow

Edit: Just a thought, if you crash into one of these and it's camouflaged, can you claim that as a defense? "I swear officer, I couldn't see it. It was camouflaged!!"

 

[GasX]

I can't weight for Mack and Freightliner to put a bed on the back of their rigs so I can...can... can... OK, explain this to me. WTF is the purpose of this thing again?

 

[Tremulant]

Wow. It's a mini-dump truck.

 

[Aharami]

that thing looks more like a mini 18wheeler than a pickup

oh sheesh...6-10mpg on diesel!!!

 

[DnetMHZ]

can't wait to see a 4' 2" woman trying to park that at the grocery store.

 

[phreakah]

Hahaha, you couldn't be closer to the truth. It'll be just like the H2. You'll only see women driving it as an everyday vehicle.

I know someone who could use one of those, but he's in construction/painting.

 

[JDub02]

Is a CDL required to drive one? If they find a way to put it in a rap video, it'll be huge .. no pun intended.

Crazy though. I drive a large pickup, but I'd never want one of those.

 

[Fausto]

Just the thing for the discriminating consumer with the tiny penis.

 

[Lithium381]

that's almost too big to be practical, but then again who here in america thinks of practical anymore.....10mpg? sure it's beefy for towing stuff and i'm sure it'll do a great job, but i don't want to have some soccermom thinking she's in a freaking tank(she almost is!) talking on her cell phone not paying attention and plowing into someone....it's just asking for it

 

[whoiswes]

O....M.....F.....G.....

i think this calls for a OMGWTFBBQCXTWATERMELON!

 

[virtueixi]

That is way expensive to even be a commercial pick up.

 

[MercenaryForHire]

I forsee this making its way into the next round of Big Blingys Rap Thug Lyfe on MTV, complete with 40" "dub-dubs" and lowered to the asphalt.

[IHYLN]

if we got rid of these retarded SUVs maybe the taliban wouldn't hate us so much

 

[JDub02]

I wonder what it's towing capacity is.

A new 1 ton pickup will tow 18k pounds or so. I can't see the need for much more than that without going commercial.

20 tons according to the caption by the picture.

It'll take a class B license to drive it. I think the real target is people that own 5th wheels and/or livestock.

 

[Chaotic42]

Mmmm.... 12000 pounds of pedestrian crushing metal.

 

[JDub02]

might make sense for my company. we have a 28k pound trailer that we've been paying someone to haul around for us. we were looking at some of the super super-duty fords (F-650, etc) and they cost at least $100k and some couldn't haul enough.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

JDub: I've seen a number of rigs built like the one in the picture that are based off of FL70 range chassis specifically made for towing 5th wheels.
