I guess I should have sent the press release instead:

hobbyfarm; That thing only looks bad. According to the specs my F-250 Stroker has more trailer capacity than it! It does look bad though! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Hey John,
Yeah, but you got to admit that it'd look cooler than your F-250 pulling your tractor around. F-250's are a dime-a-dozen.

I never thought that the $50k Hummer would ever take off as it was quite a bit more than a loaded Suburban or an Excursion. But, down here there seems to be almost as many as Toyota Corolla's. They are everywhere.

I'd like to see International make a good splash with this.
They need one!

It would also bee cool to see what our buddy <font color="blue">Stacey David </font> do with this so "it don't look like everyone else's"

IHC does build a good truck, and I wouldn't mind a turnedup 466 or 530 even in a pickumup. But, I could almost buy 2 250 or 350 Fords for what they want for the behemoth. It would be great fun to chase an SUV or Hummer around with that though! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

What's amazing to me is that the trailer hitch is a option, not standard.

Dude,
The whole point of any of these trucks is image . Do any of those Hummers ever get into real mud? I don't think I've ever seen a dirty one. I got a feeling that the owners think that that would be disrespectful of the Hummer.
I agree with you that more than one truck would be better than throwing all your kids college fund into one vehicle.

This is kind of like:
I think I'll buy another tractor so I don't have to keep removing the backhoe and loader. Since I'm going to mow with it, I might as well get it with the turf tires while I'm at it.
(who has this much $ to burn?) I haven't won the Lotto yet!

Ther was a farmer close by who so many John Deeres, he almost did not have to change implements. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

BTW - How's the weather up there in Mich.?
I've got to cut my grass, but I'm just waiting for the 92 /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif degrees to cool off some.

Re: Is This the Ultimate \"Pickup\"?

hobbyfarm; 92 out? That's just downright paganistic rubbing it in. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Right now it's 55 and cloudy and still a tad on the breezy side. All in all, it's a typical November day. I've lived here all my life except when I was in the service, and can't even think of leaving Michigan, I'm even moving 250 miles further north in a couple years. Just about can't wait. BTW, you do realize that here Nov 15th is a state holiday and we only have 2 seasons, construction and winter! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Oh, and another BTW, are the commercials right when they say Texas is like a whole different country? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
