Fuck me. They won't stop making these things bigger until the idiot-rich stop buying them. I'm willing to put up a fiver that someone will convert a Terex
Unit Rig MT 5500 into a pickup next.

At 258 inches, or 21-1/2 feet long, the CXT is about 4-1/2 feet longer than the new Hummer H2 pickup, and about 2 inches longer than the F-350 Crew Cab.

I thought this was a joke at first....but no.
"It's not going to fit into the standard garage," said Mark Oberle, a spokesman for Navistar, based in Warrenville, Ill., outside Chicago. "We can see it as a vehicle for business people who want to make a distinct impression. For personal use, it's for people who want to make a statement."
And I wonder what that statement would be....
"Fuck you Fuckers!"
"I can play a record with my cock!"
"Validate Me!"
Somehow I doubt it is "I brake for motorcycles (that I bother to look for)"

I have seen the flatbed versions quite often, of course they are usually hauling some sort of 5th wheel trailer at the same time...

I saw something like that a while back and thought "oh my god, they actually did it."
