Truck company International announces world's biggest production pickup
[Sarcasm] Hooray. [/Sarcasm] Built on the same platform underpinning its dump truck and snow plow lineup, the International CXT pickup makes a Hummer H1 look like it's being perceived through the wrong end of some binoculars. It can carry three times as much as the sad, middling, weak-ass pickups you usually see on the road, plus it comes with air brakes and one of those big-rig-style vertical exhaust pipes. The CXT moves thanks to a 220-hp diesel making 540 lb./ft., and although it seats five, has captains chairs and a substantial DVD/satellite radio system, it's being marketed to landscaping and construction firms at a price of 100 grand. It also seems like it would appeal to men with no hauling needs but microscopic genitalia. If this sucker isn't a Red State item, I don't know what is.

According to http://www.internationaldelivers.com/site_layout/news/newsdetail.asp?id=595 , it's to be manufactured in Garland, Texas. I imagine there'll be plenty of 'em in Dallas and Houston early next year.

King of the Hill. The producers are from Garland and call the cartoon's home, "Arland".

I would be willing to bet this truck is more fuel efficient than a Hummer. Diesel engines are generally more efficient than gasoline.
Regarding your bazooka threat, don't you EcoNazis realize by blowing them up you're putting more pollutants into the atmosphere than these vehicles would produce in their operational lifetime? Plus, any damage you EcoNazis cause will simply be taken care of with insurance.

Yes, that truck uses a "green diesel".
So much for the sarcasm with the "Hooray."
Of course, since the CXT costs over $100k, God (Ooops.) forbid someone who can afford one actually uses it to work! So much for the workhorse Toyota Prius....
"Arlen" is the town in KOTH.
