CXT

The International (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_%28truck%29) CXT (Commercial Extreme Truck) is a very large pickup truck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickup_truck). Introduced in September of 2004, the CXT is 21 ft (6.4 m) long with a 9 ft (2.7 m) tall cab. It is the largest production pickup truck on the market, larger even than the Hummer H1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummer_H1).
The CXT is equipped with the DT 466 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navistar_DT_engine) Diesel engine and is capable of towing up to 20 tons while its air-ride cab and individual bucket seats offer a smooth ride for the driver and 4 adult passengers. The CXT's interior includes luxury options such as leather, DVD, and satellite radio. Air brakes, an Allison automatic transmission, and 4 wheel drive are included as well. The CXT is priced at $115,000.
The CXT is built at the company's assembly plant in Garland, TX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garland%2C_TX).

I don't know about a 10" lift on your chair, I think it might need a full-sized scissor-lift or conveyer belt to load you into the seat!

I went to the Ford sites and checked out this new line of big boy trucks ( the 650 4x4 and 6x6 ) also 550 and 750 too...I also noticed (GUYS ) they are making the ford vans in 4X4 again ...in a 350 one ton model......Now add that to a wheelchair conversion and get outta my way .........Now all I gotta do is two things track down my rich uncle , and find me a wrecked one in the junk yard to get the goodies off from.......Of one of you will just have to say ...if you got a rich uncle , then why bother with the junk yard stuff........WEEEEELLLLLL that is half of the fun ....all the wrench work , all the mathmatics and blueprints and machine shop work and changing the gas tank out to the new altered one for clearance etc .......the welding burning cutting ....the list goes on and on ....and then when all the frankenstein work is done .....well you feel like a new papa .....of course then ya have ta name your little darlin don`t ya know .....Oh gosh somebody save me ....................................I`m slipping away into my second childhood..........

Dam Ric, that pick up truck kicks some butt!!! Very nice

I also like the F650 too

WOW we don't have those kinds of beasts here in NZ, although I've seen a Hummer and a few Dodges, thought the Dodge rocked, but those trucks are kewl!!!
