LAS VEGAS, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- International Truck and Engine
Corporation, the operating company of Navistar International Corporation
(NYSE: NAV) and a leading truck manufacturer, announced it will showcase the
International RXT, its latest commercial pickup truck, as well as the
International CXT, at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show
in Las Vegas today through Friday (Nov. 1-4).
The International RXT, which will be available to customers in March, will
make its first appearance at SEMA. The eight-foot-tall International RXT is a
4x2 pickup truck targeted at commercial customers in markets requiring
excellent towing capability including equestrian, boating, racecar hauling and
RV. It features an eight-foot-long bed, great hauling and tow capability and
commercial hydraulic brakes for stopping large loads or trailers.
"The International RXT is the ultimate workhorse truck for many
vocations," said Tom Cellitti, vice president and general manager of
International's Medium Truck Vehicle Center. "With its large crew cab,
powerful V8 diesel engine, and heavy-duty commercial features, this truck will
be particularly appealing for applications that require extra muscle."
Back for the second year, the International CXT, a 4x4 pickup, continues
to generate widespread excitement. Built for business owners that want a
truck that promotes their business as much as it performs on the job, the
International CXT has been used by several major corporations to showcase
their new products and is popular with a range of commercial vocations
including auto body repair, construction and landscaping.
During the past year, International has updated the International CXT with
customized interiors and more horsepower. At SEMA, two specially-designed
International CXTs, one by West Coast Customs(R) and one by Southern Comfort
Conversions, will include such features as heated leather seats with remote-
control seat massage, ultra-luxurious carpeting and mounted video-game
consoles. Today's International CXT now comes standard with a horsepower
rating of 300 hp and 860 lb-ft of torque and also offers an ultimate tow
package with 310 horsepower and 950 lb-ft of torque.
"The International CXT continues to make a big and bold statement," said
Nick Matich, vice president and general manager of International's Severe
Service Truck Vehicle Center. "We will be showcasing several examples of how
owners can customize their vehicles to their distinct personalities."
Orders for the International RXT can be placed through International
dealers throughout North America starting Jan. 1, with delivery as early as
March. Prices will start in the high $70,000s. The International CXT is
available for ordering immediately and its price starts at about $120,000.
