SEMA 2008: Cure for the Teeny Weenie

Mr Musto I agree though their is a need to pull things that are large and heavy, however if you do it in this thing, instead of a good ol fashion Peterbilt you pick up from a used dealer. Well you do indeed have a case of the small man syndrome. I mean look at it the minute someone see’s you they don’t go sweet awesome big truck. They say gas guzzling overpriced piece of sheet metal. Could have bought a Vette and a truck for that price.

Whoa, Musto. Don’t hold back. Tell us what you REALLY think about that truck.
.
It does serve a purpose. If you tow extremely large and heavy trailers, such as jet boats or horse trailers, it would be useful. Other than that, it’s a waste of sheet metal.

i would use it to pull my huge jet boat that i dont have yet either. i dunno. i love it. except for the running-board looking things. haha. you’d think that if they spent all this money making this truck, it woulda at least had the nifty ones that popped out when you opened the door, and not like.. make the climb to mount everest without em just to open it. but like.. remote popper style. hahaha.

maybe its just me.

I agree with Trever the winch is crooked and that thing should only be used for people 900lbs or bigger.

does the front winch look crooked to anyone else?

I love how the wheels aren’t even close to fitting in the arches, so they just sit below them instead. Having a pickup truck bed perched on top of that huge frame is just all wrong. Wonderful proportions guys – it’s that kind of attention to detail which really convinces the buyers. I’ve got to disagree with your dump idea Mike – think of all the money you could get driving this thing to the scrap yard instead!

*just

I love it, jist like the CXT. Is that the bed from a Ram on that truck?

I think the description by Mr. Angry is spot on… couldn’t agree more, what a waste! (but I bet someone will say: “It’s SEMA!”)

well maybe its just me but i like it, i like big trucks even though they basically did the same exact thing international did first, but i still like it, first you say about the fuel cost, well if you have the money to buy that then im pretty sure your able to pay for the fuel, then you talk about where to park it, look at it very carefully, the height don’t matter much except for blind spots which lifted trucks have and the total width of it ain’t much different than a lifted truck with tires stickin out so all in all if lifted trucks can find a place to park then this truck would to, and about the purpose of it, you can use it as a truck and the frame is the same as a commercial truck so you could use it for very heavy towing like you see dump trucks towing sometimes, chances that someone would use that for hauling or towing probably not but you can, people have different taste so before you try to talk trash about something think about it first

ok for one, i like it, maybe its just me but i like big trucks, everybody talks about gas mileage which ya thats a problem right now but why complain about it cause complainin won’t lower the gas prices and also if you have the money to buy that then im pretty sure you’ll be able to cover the fuel so thats out of the equation, and also i don’t think its ugly, all it looks like they did was put the front cab of a class B freightliner truck, add the 2nd set of doors and then the bed just like international did, you also ask where would you park it, its no bigger than a lot of lifted trucks so its no difference in that, if the jacked up trucks can find somewhere to park then someone drivin that truck would to, anymore questions? lol i’ll be glad to answer lol

American to a certain degree. Freightliner has been wholly-owned by Daimler for years.
