Ashton Kutcher and other celebs opt for massive CXT pick-up
Remember the International CXT pick-up truck we brought you way back when? Well we figured it would be a hit in the industrial market and as a promotional item like we saw last fall. But now it seems the CXT is in the hands of celebrities. Folks like Ashton Kutcher and Jalen Rose actually ponied up and bought one while others like Nick Lachey and Jay Leno just test drove the suckers (and I guess got their photos taken too). West Coast Customs is even working on a tricked out version with monster rims. We're just hoping this is the shortest trend of all time.
Thanks to Meek for the tip.

I just hope for the sake of their fellow South Californians that these guy take a good and loooong visit to ESUVEE before they drive this thing about L.A. Without implying any judgment of character on the purchasers and drivers of the CXT, I can say that this is by far the worst and most stupid thing on wheels I have ever seen.
Oh! Word of advise to all meter maids, if you see one of these whatevers illegally parked close to a Starbucks, just let it be. . .

I would like to see what their new MXT truck is going to look like. Any word on that, David?

I've driven plenty of International trucks and I just don't see why anybody would want to drive these things if they dont have to. I dont care if it has leather and thirty inch spinners. Why not just rent a U-Haul truck until the joy of driving something 9ft tall and 8ft wide wears off.

When the Hummer's not big enough... Does the horn play Cucarracha?

All I could think of was...
"Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
Smells like a steak, and seats thirty five?
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down
It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Hey, hey!
Twelve yards long, two lanes wide,
Sixty five tons of American pride!
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
Canyonero! Canyonero!
She blinds everybody with her super high beams
She's a squirrel-squashin', deer-smackin' drivin' machine
Canyonero! Canyonero! Canyonero!
Whoa, Canyonero! Whoa!"

Jessica Simpson doesn't know if a tuna is really a fish, yet she can get a license to drive a truck the size of 2 Hummers. Great, maybe she and Nick will buy a pair of them.

It'd be cheaper for him to buy a hat saying "I've got a small _ _ _ _ _."

Someone from The Simpsons should sue for royalties - that thing screams Canyonero.

Why do they do it? "Because they can."

oddly enough, if you search canyonero in google image search, this truck does come up a few times

Ack. If Ashton and Jessica are doing it today, then it's only a matter of weeks before I'll find myself wedged in between two of these damn things at the Safeway.

I saw one of these at the golf course today. I was so utterly disgusted that anyone could drive something like that, that I made a wish that gas would go up to $6 per gallon, and I would laugh my little head off in my Prius.
