Happy Man Day! Ok–I’m one day late–but I have a goodie for you fellas…
If you love your gas-guzzling, non-hybrid SUV, Ford has a new truck to up your gas-spending obsession ante. From Autoblog:
At last year’s Chicago Auto Show we found on one of the most outrageous trucks we’d ever seen. It was the Alton F-650 XUV and it was enormous. This year, the same company is back with a new project based of the all-new 2009 F-series. The Alton XUV Command Center is an urban assault vehicle of the highest order, with a massive footprint, several huge strobes and a length list of features. If the 660 lb-ft of torque isn’t enough to pummel Geos in its path, the extra power boost provided by a tank of nitrous will finish the job. And the inside is just as much fun.
Where last year’s concept had one massive TV that dropped down inside the tailgate, this version has screens for each passenger, and even provides a unique rear-mounted command post where someone can control that nitrous system. As it was last year, this Alton XUV is parked in an area of the show floor set aside for Ford’s work vehicles. Besides the Command Center, there were a number of other work truck concepts and real-world F-Series applications including an F-750-based fire truck, a massive cherry picker and even a Dewalt-themed construction site office.
Why, oh why—but whoever buys this ginormous truck probably had or still has a Ford Excursion…even though it is a “work” truck, I will guarantee you that we will see this with chrome 22s next to you on your local highway….
Keep it strictly stylish!
