If any of you ever needs a REALLY DIFFERENT tow vehicle -- or needs to
yank out a few stumps -- I got the following news release today.
Thought you might get a chuckle out of it. This is real -- it's not a
joke. These so-called "pickup trucks" are based on International
18-wheelers and they're enormous. Check out the last link in the news
release.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) October 27, 2006 -- It's a popular notion that
everything is bigger in Texas, and now DFW Elite Auto Rental
(http://www.dfweliteautorental.com/) proves it with the addition of the
International CXT, the world's largest pickup. With a nine-foot-tall
cab, the CXT -- or "commercial extreme truck" -- is two feet taller and
nearly five feet longer than the Hummer H2.
The CXT's eight-foot pickup bed and polished chrome bumper help create
the ultimate brawny, eye-catching truck. Powerful but refined, the truck
turns heads everywhere it goes. And although its huge stature hints at
an industrial vehicle, the interior is pure luxury, with an air-ride
cab, individual leather bucket seats and a spacious interior. Tinted
windows, a premium sound system, lush carpeting and air brakes complete
the luxury truck experience.
"It's certainly a head turner," says Dennis Tidwell, General manager of
Southwest International Trucks Inc (www.SWIT-TX.com
<http://www.SWIT-TX.com>) adding "we were sure excited to see one of
these premium trucks go to a rental fleet."
"Driving one of these trucks really is the best of both worlds," said
DFW Elite Auto Rental founder Ron Sturgeon. "It has the luxury of a fine
automobile and the enormous power of a huge truck. It definitely makes a
statement for anyone who's behind the wheel."
Customers looking for something just a little bit smaller, DFW Elite
Auto Rental also offers the International RXT which, like the CXT, has a
commercial pickup bed and seats five. Slightly sportier and more
athletic than its bigger brother, the International RXT has an
eight-foot-tall cab, an aerodynamically shaped hood, dual rear wheels
and hydraulic brakes.
"These are big, bold trucks that are unlike anything else out there on
the road today," Sturgeon says. "Texans love their trucks, so it makes
sense that they would fall in love with trucks like these."
DFW Elite Auto Rental offers a rental fleet of more than 35 Exotic and
luxury cars, SUVs and pickups. The company's elite White Glove Service
includes complimentary pick-up and delivery of vehicles, 24-hour
roadside assistance, pre-programmed GPS navigation assistance and even
designer sunglasses and a complimentary console towel.
DFW Elite Auto Rental.com is located at 5940 Eden in Fort Worth, and
serves Houston, San Antonio, and Austin, as well as the DFW Metroplex.
