I believe the F650 cruisers are in direct competition for the International CXT, which is also jaw dropping beautiful. It's the biggest truck you can drive on the road w/o a commercial license!

I have looked at both in person and the ford looks like a better package. The ford dually bed on the IH chassis doesnt have matching body lines.

 

I was at a cutting horse competition yesterday and saw several of the 650 size trucks hauling horse trailers - most of them are pulling 6 to 10 horse trailers with living quarters. One of the few places I've been with my 350 pulling a 3 horse trailer where my truck felt small by comparison.

 

I have to pose the question of hieght?? I've seen many large horse/race/enclosed trailors be it goose neck or fifthwheels that a F350 4x4 sits to high, would these complicate that issue a whole lot more. You can't flip the leafs on horse/race trailors like you can on some fifthwheels so would this thing even be practical at all!!

I Also think the Ford looks much better than the CTX, the CTX just looks kinda chopped up and doesn't flow worth a darn. Even the F650 looks short as a Crew Cab. It almost looks porpotionate if its the CC EX Cab or the 6 door version looks the best.

I'm not saying if money was no object that I wouldn't have one but impratical is about the first word that comes to mind and parking is the second, the third would be valted ceilings in my garage, lol.

 

A 650 is what I'll be looking for , for my next "Hot Shot" hauler ....
Maybe not "this" trick ... but this is sweet !!!

 

the big truck will put one into IFTA tax range .... for "hot shotting , these look sweet !!

 

I have an F650 I bought from the guys at Aquasun Motorsports. We looked into that new International truck but the outside just looked too much like it should have a big old bulldog on the hood like a Mack truck. Honestly, we love the look and feel of our Ford. It took my wife some convincing because she thought the same way most people do, “It’s gonna ride like crap!” Couldn’t be any more wrong. The ride is great. The conversion Aquasun sells is called the Himarc and comes with all the bells and whistles. It’s obviously not going to be something for everyone. But those people who show horses, or make long, heavy hauls will without a doubt love the truck.
