Default International Mxt

I've been thinking about getting a new ride, Does anyone have any personal info on these i know what the specs are. But i'd like to hear from someone that has one or driven one.

Does anyone know where to get a good price on one?

Thanks
David

HUGE weight difference between the 2 trucks. A crew cab dually running a power stroke or Dmax is alwys going to feel like the power is much greater simply due to the weight alone.

I had a chevy 4500 that the Dmax felt dead in, but in a 1 ton truck, the motor rocked.

The other trucks are about 3500 pounds more than a crew cab dually.

I think the best truck in the MXT's class is the F650 with either the Cat or the Cummins.

f 650 is the worst ride of all the trucks. I have a T800W Kenworth with a 625hp Cat that rides better than the 650's

^^^Yes I've heard that. Carli and Kelderman can fix that though. I really like that six door model your fellow Georgian builds. Shaq bought one from him, the SUV I believe? And guess what...the JBSRacing truck is on their homepage!!
