at 25,999lbs, it makes the international CXT seem dwarf-like at only 10,000lbs.

The 2007 International MXT goes on sale in the summer of 2006, with a base price of $69,900. Optioned up, a loaded MXT can cost as much as $85,000. If you’ve got a thing for the new MXT and a wad of cash burning a hole in your own pocket, call 1-888-44-TRUCK and place an order for one of the 1,500 units that International plans to build annually.

HAHA, is this thing going to meet the new CAFE standards, or will they have to build a car that gets 100mpg just to offset it?

no, they'll build and destroy 10 ford focus's to make up for it, thats why car manufactorers make 'loss leaders' like the focus/colbalt/etc. Most car companies make little/no money off compact cars here in the states, especially domestic companies, thats why american car companies like building trucks and SUV's so much, cheap to make and sell for a bunch.

what scares me...is my wife wants this - no joke

i want one but a diffrent color combo.

I'm sure its like the model T's slogan "You can have it in any color, so long as its black"

but instead it will be "You can have it however you'd like it, so long as its silver, 13 tons, and you accept that fact that it clubs baby seals."
