I saw one of those at Davenport, Ia on the Hot Rod power tour, I thought it was a custom built thing someone had done. It was bright yellow to boot.

The vehicle will be available through International Truck's 345 dealerships, which operate 850 locations nationwide.
Not exactly mass marketing. Same problem they had back when they where selling the Scout and other IH vehicles. People dumb enough to buy these for noncommercial uses aren't going to be smart enough to find a Navistar Dealership.

I saw something similar once. It was a Ford F-750 With a crew cab and a custom pick-up box on it. I saw it a body shop near my dads shop.

$115,000 for a Pickup? I don't think my wife would go for that.

It's ironic that it has "commercial" in the title, but it's being marketed to people who want to "make a statement". I'm all for anyone's rights to do anything they want, as that means I can do anything I want, but for anyone who buys anything only to "make a statement", whether it be a fancy house, hummer, CXT, clothes, or anything else - I would suggest that they look at their priorities and whether they're really getting any benefit from their "statement".

Yeah, but who is really gonna go get a CDL so they can drive a pick up? Ford came out with this a few years ago. I have seen several. They are F650, and F750 crew cabs, with a reworked superduty bed. They are really neat and you don't need a CDL to drive them.

Ah, I can imagine that truck, with a nice custom trailer behind, with two of my mudrunners on it, and my company logo on the door. Think I could write it off?

Now that I see a photo, I think I saw a few at 2L Custom Trucks in Decatur, Texas. I'm not sure I like the bed though - its straight from an F-Series and doesn't flow with the cab. I like the look and versatility of hauler / custom beds better.

You can see the GM version at topkickpickup.com. The difference is that the 4500 series isn't severe duty, where the International is.
