That's absurd! We already have enough H2s hogging the road, we don't need consumer semis!

Nice bling factor. But you would need to work another job just to keep it gassed up. Where can you park that. You need the local walmart parking lot for your ride

No christmas time parking at the mall with that thing, unless you just want to run the other cars over. I mean theres big, then theres just nuts....and this goes into the nuts category. Sure it would be good for a commercial business, but wtf do average people need that thing for.

Honestly, if that thing is staring at me and I'm pulling a left across the street, it really only says one thing: "You lose."

Navistar = what used to known as International Harvester. Majority of the people who will buy this rig will likely install a "fifth" wheel in the bed area to haul oversize RV trailers, racing trailers, one level car carriers (or "hot shots"), etc. It's not going to appeal to the snobby Hummer set as it's not an SUV. I think it's kinda cool.

gibbo80 had a pretty sweet '65 international scout. I wish he hadn't have gotten rid of it. It was beautifully restored.

Imagine calling AAA to have them come out to fix a flat...I used to own a 66 International Travelall. Think Suburban with a Durange front. Ultimate college road trip vehicle. That sucker fit 8 people, luggage, ski's and kegs and coolers.It had a 3 spd manual on the column (non-synchro so you hadda double clutch to downshift) Great date vehicle for drive-ins. I speak from experience. International made great trucks.It's a shame they stopped building small trucks.

****, I think the tires on those are around 25k....pretty sure they're solid rubber though or close to it...

who needs ride quality in a pure off road vehicle? it's only made for hauling...

Three on the tree! International made some really neat looking trucks too...they're ugly in a cool way, much like the old Power Wagon and the Jeep J trucks...

Yeah, Travelalls were ugly/cool. Mine was a chickmagnet in college, also very popular on road trips. But unlike the Suburban which rides like a baby carriage, my beast rode and handled like a truck. Of course the bouncing made for added fun with with large breasted female passengers (ahem). It also had no power steering so you couldn't turn easily unless the wheels were rolling. I miss that truck. It was fun.

They have air in the tires, air ride seat and the one I used to drive even came with a cd player.
