I have seen the International pickup in picture form only and it seems quite impressive. But it is expensive and I'm not sure how useful it would be for other than companies who would buy it as advertising platforms, much like many Hummers are used.

I can't see it as much good for towing, it seems a bit high for a gooseneck, although I'm sure it would do well with a lowered ball hitch for a non 5 th wheel trailer.

I saw a 4 door GMC 4500 4wd with a small dump body at the local dealership. Now that seemed to be more useful and I have a feeling the price is prob. cheaper.

I don't think International intends to crank out too many. I used to drive an International (farm grain truck) and I think quite highly of them. This new International just does not seem too practical to me.

People will buy it just because they can. Kinda like the Hummer and H2. No real need for it.

Dang, for a British built vehical its rather big.

The feeling around well anywhere who knows about the International Pick-Up is that its Internationals attempt at pulling a Hummer of there own sorts.

Hummers used to be all Goverment, Military, etc...used. Then Arnold wanted one and people started to ask about them, all of a sudden they realized they could sell it to the public, thus GM made a nice pocket of $$$.

Sadly they ruined it with the H2, god I hate that piece of *($. Personaly I wished they made this into the production Hummer, Hummer H1 SUV.

Only thing is with International, none of the public realy shows much interest in buying a International Pick-Up like they do a Hummer. Arnold will prb buy the International Pick-Up though.
