I can picture a building contractor pulling up to the jobsite in one, towing a bobcat on a utility trailer...
I bet they sell well in Saudi Arabia -- I remember watching the news showing all of the 454 equipped suburbans!

[B]That's funny right there
I saw a guy trying to manuevre one of these around the mall parking lot in Rapid City, SD the other day, took him like 46 tries to park in a spot with no vehicles on either side of him. My first thought ....what a bafoon, 2nd thought...what in the hell is that?... 3rd thought...what a bafoon.

Really easily. The GVWR is 25,999. The curb weight is 14,500. Subtract the two and you get 11,499 towing capacity. The towing capacity of a 2500 Dodge is 13,100. 13,100 is bigger than 11,499 thus the Dodge can tow more than the CXT. All numbers were taking directly from the manufacturers websites.

What's the point of that? Makes no sense to me. 220hp, 540 torque, towing capacity 12,000 pounds, weighs 14,000 pounds, $90k price tag?Hmmm
CTD = 300+hp, 600+ torque, towing 16,000+, weighs 7,000 pounds. More sense.
You know what they say, "A fool and his money are soon parted"

I saw my first CXT on 6 Dec. I was rolling up I-57 N, just south of Champaign, IL and passed him. It was on the hook of a Peterbuilt Wrecker getting towed. I like the looks of the Kodiak 4500/5500/6500 better. And if you get the optional pickup type bed on it, the thing actually lines up with the cab the way it should, and it costs about $40,000 less. But the pickup bed option costs another $22,000.
No, that gives you the payload capacity = what you can put in the bed. The GCWR is 42,000. The towing capacity is 17,000.
I'd still rather have my Dodge and the extra money in my pocket. But I think people should be able to spend their money however they want, as long as they aren't neglecting their family.

Dont get me wrong,
they are nice, but too underpowered, too expensive, and they should at least make the bed proportional.... What the heck are you gonna tow? (gooseneck wise at least), bumper pull i can see, but not gooseneck wise... I wouldnt spend that much money on one, but to each his own.. what else can we do?
