The hugemongous pickup weighs more than twice as much as the Hummer H2 and sits at the height of an 18-wheeler; more important, it can tow a 20-ton yacht and lug another six tons in the truck bed. Celebs like trucker-hat enthusiast Ashton Kutcher can also expect to get 7 to 10 miles per gallon of diesel fuel and pay up to $120,000, depending on how fully equipped they want it -- some include tiltable truck beds, and one customizer is working on installing a mini-fridge and giant wheel rims. International Truck and Engine -- which manufactures the CXT, alongside cement mixers and dump trucks -- is making plans for more vehicles, including the MXT and the RXT, both of which will be slightly smaller.
