You're not going to get that in a standard garage  

Nice truck.

Wow!  All it needs is a 42 Yellowfin with quad V-rods hitched to the back.

I have seen a couple comparable trucks at the 10th street ramp in Sarasota hooked to giant boat trailers.

That F-650 is cool...  but if I'm going big I'm going all the way:

International CXT 4x4:



It has the DT-466 inline turbo diesel, weighs in at 14,500 lbs empty, has a payload capacity of 12,000 lbs, a towing capacity of 20 TONS, is 108" tall (top of cab), has air brakes, and a massive Allison automatic, and a dump bed!

Now THAT'S a bad ride

Just wondering....does anyone know the towing capacity of the F 650?

That grill on the back is dechit

meh... i would rather have a plain ol f550 crew with a nice flatbed http://www.magiccitywholesale.com/wp-co ... 40x405.jpg

In reality you would be able to do more with the F-450/550.  You would not be able to haul a fifth wheel or goose neck trailer with the CXT (the bed floor is 57" off the ground).  Only problem is with the 450 and up your looking at commercial insurance for those things...  the General and the Gecko are not going to write that!  Also technically if you have a trailer heavy enough you can also end up with enough weight to require a CDL.

BTW I was parked next to a CXT the other day...  I think the hood of the thing was almost as tall the the roof of my truck!

Little truck, big motor...

Is it just me or does that thing look REALLY top heavy?  Also look not only at the size of flywheel, but the size of the pinion gear on the starter!
