Dear Santa,
Would you please leave an International RXT pickup truck in my Christmas stocking?
I know, it only gets twelve miles per gallon and it costs $90,000.00 but I'm worth it. LOL!
That is ugly.
Have you driven over a Ford Lately?
LOL...can't say I have.
Nahhhhhh... lol
Just think of all the entrepuenurial things a business owner could do with that and you don't have to have a commercial drivers license to drive it. The bigger version CXT comes with a hydraulic lift bed but it costs *gulp* $135,000.00
Why is the rear wheel well so far above the rear tire? Looks like one team engineered the body and another team engineered the suspension... and they didn't talk to each other.
Its loaded inside and out like a fancy SUV, and commercial truck combo w/ hydraulic lift bed.
What more could you want.
Squared.
Man, it's gross. So it'll show up in the ghettos soon enough.

...
again, cause of hydraulic lift bed(?)
Sheesh....anudder ting 4 the "mor $ than sense" tribe....
I don't understand the utility of a hydraulic lift bed... why not just make the bed deeper and have the load point at "normal" pickup truck level?
Wheel well is elevated so that there is clearance when a heavy load is in the bed. I have a 1-ton PU and when I put 3T of cement block in it I'm thankful for that extra room.

Hey, you can blame those cartoon creators (Hi Trey),
the transformer toy generation grows up to be todays
auto industry designers - engineers. (har har har)
The bed is directly sourced from the Superduty pickups, so the wheelwell isn't designed for those commercial-sized wheels.
"I don't understand the utility of a hydraulic lift bed"
...
Translation: Your hands are soft like butter. LOL!!
I can (maybe) understand the utility of such a behemoth. But the appeal of something like that is lost on me. What is pleasurable about piloting such a barge?
Sports cars are desirable because, while impractical, they are fun. They’re fast and responsive and one can enjoy driving one.
But what’s fun about driving a HUGE, SLOW, 10,000lbs (+) truck. It does everything slowly and ponderously.
Me? I’ll take a Ferrari 430 Spyder in yellow.
I think they mean a hydraulic dump-bed.
