People might as well as start buying Mack trucks.

This whole SUV/truck trend is stupid and ridiculous. Single member households who purchase butt ugly Suburbans should be penalized for the excess taxes, gas prices and toll fees.

Well in this day...gas prices are so high sometimes these trucks are more economical than your average Yukon, Escalade, Tahoe, Sierra, etc...etc.. Being that these are deisel trucks they get more miles per gallon...they kill the atmosphere but its lighter on the pocket!!!!

Personal use? Come on. I hope soccer moms/dads don't get a hold of this.

A commerical license should be mandatory for this thing.

These words are not important as long as a commercial driver's license is not required to operate this ugly thing.

Hey it's still a 'relatively' free country, right? If someone wants to drive a honking great truck like that and can afford it, more power to 'em!

Those whining about fuel consumption and other 'dangers' - hey what's next, outlawing speed boats, jet skis, snow mobiles, chainsaws!?

"We can see it as a vehicle for business people who want to make a distinct impression. For personal use, it's for people who want to make a statement."
International CXT is ideal: construction, lawn care businesses, lawn and garden stores, brick or stone contractors, home builders, carpenters, landscape designers, roofers, home improvement companies, auto body repair or custom paint shops, commercial boating businesses and boat racers
