From Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/07/chicago-2008-alton-f-650-xuv-makes-a-big-statement/)

We've seen some outrageous F-650-based vehicles like this before (the DeBerti for one), but for some reason, the Alton F-650 XUV jumped out at us at the Chicago Auto Show. Perhaps we were already focused on Ford's Work Solutions trucks in the vicinity, but this insane beast just put our DSLRs on autopilot. The F-650-based XUV was built by Alton Manufacturing and carries a GVWR of 25,999 lbs. That makes the 660 ft-lbs of torque generated by its 7.2L Caterpillar engine seem paltry. Besides the big-rig-meets-Excursion bodywork, your nearly $200,000 expenditure for this XUV will get you hardwood floors, custom captains chairs, a 42-speaker sound system, two drop-down 16-inch TVs plus a 42-inch plasma, four computer workstations, plus a train horn. Oh, you'll also get bragging rights for the biggest, baddest truck in 99% of the world's neighborhoods.

Am I reading something wrong, or does that thing weigh 13 tons?! F*ck that truck. All that thing is, is a wrecking ball on wheels.

Side note: It would be pretty awesome to drive though :)

[DieselNuts]

wow, I just read the part about the 42 speaker sound system.....thats insane! and I thougnt the Infiniti M45 having 16 speakers was crazy...

[Kevykev]

Looks Like a mobile massage parlor/ nail shop on wheels. You will not want to be involved in a "fender bender" with this vehicle.

[01SpectraGSX]

That is a waste of road space!!! That is what the Beverly Hillbillies would drive if they struck oil in real life in modern times!!!

[87 Turbo II]

with a 45 gallon ton, you'll make it to your destination... or uh... if it's in a ~70 mile radius... without traffic :lmfao: :lmfao:

[Oz10]

[Johnny Chimpo]

[EJ25RUN]

It would suck to get hit by that thing.


a fender bender is a ripped roof for a car.

[low mileage]

[EJ25RUN]

[DieselNuts]

I agree, except I think 24"s would be to small. You would have to get at least 30"s to make it look right. That being said, I think 44"s would probably be too small too. You would probably need some 52" tires or something.

p.s. even though you said 24 feet and 44 feet, I know you ment inches... ;)

[Tracy]

I want one
