New Jeep Pickup info...........again

Sorry, I couldn't find the thread we were all on just a few weeks ago talking about the possibility of a new Jeep pickup, be it the Gladiator show truck, Brute, or other versions rumored about. Buuuuut, a friend of mine has asked me to help him locate and buy an International CXT to pull his horse and cattle trailer. If you are not familiar with this truck, it is bad as hell. Go to www.internationaltrucks.com and check it out. Like a F650 pickup you've probably seen or GM C4500 etc, but International's version. So anyway, I also ran across this PDF on their site as I was browsing for inventory at dealers. The article is about the MXT, which is another version of the CXT and International's answer to Hummer H1s. Again, bad @$$ truck (except the VT365 motor has some issues. Also, Int'l now has a huge military contract as the MXT will be one of the replacements for Hummers, and they realized they could just throw out a civilian version right away like when Hummer went public. But I digress.).

 

Anyway, check out the spy photo of the Jeep pickup on the magazine cover. Notice the chopped off bed as the rear shackles are literally hanging off the bumper and they have fitted a hard top from an Unlimited on it to conceal what it really is. I think someone may have referenced the Jeep portion of this article on that previous thread, but as always, the pics speak in much larger volumes. Interesting..............

**If the link does not work, go to Intl's website, click on trucks, MXT, and then on the right you will see a link to the Motor Trend article.

 

Actually, you all really! need to just check out the MXT. What's a Hummer?

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but that Jeep truck on the cover looks to me to be the JT that Jeep is in the process of getting a contract to build for the government. From what I've read it will be for government sales only when/if they do produce it. Currently, I believe, it is in production in Egypt as a right hand drive version. The plan is to use it as a utility vehicle for the U.S. military (not to see any front line combat). :USAflag:

 

By the way that International MXT is awesome! I particularly like the military version...we'll see where it goes.

Personally I think it looks like an over priced POS.

Make me a dam pick up truck with an 8 foot long box, so I could actually use it for work, you stupid morons!

 

 

:mad:

 

How much more of Dodge/Chrysler can Jeep Survive! :headpop:

 

Aggg

 

That thing is just a Glorified SUV that would like to pretend it's a pick up truck!

 

Go Buy a Chevy Apache or a Honda ridge Runner!

 

WHY do all the American car companies feel they have to COPY each other and anything imported from japan?

 

! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :headpop:

Looks like it could have potential. I'm not sure about the electric motor though...I think I would want somthing a little more proven in the middle of a fight.

 

It runs on either on the eletric motor or the engine. Sneak up on the electic motor and switch to the engine after your sneek attack begins. jamminz.gif

As Much as I'd love to have a Jseries truck, I thought we were talking about what Jeep MIGHT make and sell. Not what they Made in the Past.

 

Most pick ups today are just Plain old STUPID.

 

I mean what is the Point of a truck that has a Box that is 5 feet or smaller?

Why not just have an SUV where the back seat folds down?

 

Not much you can do with the stupid Cargo area in ANY of these Truck/SUVs things anyhow. Infact My old YJ can carry as much!

"Dodge Chrysler needs to sell off Jeep, before they totally ruin it's reputation"

 

If you think about, maybe Chyrsler should sell Jeep before it kills them. Are any of the previous owners of Jeep still around? Is it a curse?
