Check out this one. I'd bet this is bigger than the one you saw. Look at the Nissan Murano parked behind it for a good idea how big this sucker is. Not to mention it's a crew cab!!! :D

that truck is actually smaller.

the truck you see in my pics is what that truck is based off of. however the 4300 is NOT lowered like that truck is, and it is not a crew cab.

Nice! Now there's an idea. Do you have a cost on the 4300?

63K with it completely custom like he wanted.

still would require a CDL though, the thing has airbrakes, and is insane.

the dudes loaded, hes one of the owners of a HUGE stone company here, i just get to load the work trucks of theirs with topsoil.

MIKE

Wow, not bad! Still 40k less than a CXT, but there is no (or a very small) backseat.

you could probably custom order a larger cab.

a corvette wouldnt get the looks this truck gets, a corvette is "common" this car is just ungodly. im serious.

MIKE

Yeah, but you won't have any problems parking a Corvette or going through drive-through's :p

Still, I guess it's cool if you're loaded and want something totally impractical that no one else has. But for me, and at that price point, I think I'd much rather have an Ariel Atom :cool:

isn't the Atom around 25k british pounds? exchange rates about 1.8 so that'd be what, a 40k car or so? Saw the Top Gear episode where they tested it, looks like fun.

I also thing you can get an F-350 with a longer bed than that truck, not to mention a more practicle bed. Can you imagine lifting heavy crap to the bed of that truck? it's hanging 6 feet in the air, it'd be such a pain.

On top of that, its ugly, and way too big.

Well, the truck in my pic is not lowered. That is entirely stock.

The top of the hood is almost 6' off the ground and is taller than the roof line of the Nissan Murano parked behind it.

Sexy? Looks pretty retarded to me. Can't fit it in the garage, crap for fas mileage... Even worse than a hummer.

Personally, i think the H1 (or Humvee) is still pretty badass. If you can afford it, and mantain it, all the more power to you. IF you buy an H2, then i think you wasted your money becuase you didn't get the real thing. the H1 is the way to go.
