Went by The Plant This Weekend........

Well men I have to rub it in. Take a look back at the picture that started this thread and now make it a bright RED fully loaded CXT. I drove one today!!! It was SWEET. This thing had everything on it, TV, rear camera and monitor, leather and wood interior. It was fun, but it rode like crap. That would get old for $120k. It was a nice opportunity and I had to rub it in.

yeah, i gotta chime in here too. i sat in the blue CXT this past summer. i was told by the sales guy that it does rolling dealership tours, goes from one to another. $120K is exactly right on what he said too. i did not drive it though, he asked but i did not have the time.

Doesn't the 450+ have a tank in the rear? And I see a rear airbag suspension! I agree something fshy

This was not exactly an "Authorized" test drive as such. It's good to be in the right place at the right time and the job helps too.

You were lucky!!! I saw one at the International dealer in McKinney awhile back. Sure wish my camera was with me, I would have parked my "little" F250 next to it and taken a picture of them together. I'd like to drive one too, even if they do ride like crap. Just to drive one would be enough pleasure.

I drove a F-650 with the Cummins briefly at one of my old jobs and it was, to put things gently, gutless. Sure, the B-series is an awesome light-duty pickup engine, but in a MDT, pretty much any aspect of performance left a lot to be desired.
