This Low-Mileage 2006 International CXT Dump Truck Will Let You Look Down On The New Hummer EV

Vehicles are getting bigger and bigger it seems but very few can hold a candle to the monster that is the International CXT. While it might look more akin to something you’d see Bob the Builder driving, this diesel-powered “commercial extreme truck” has 11,000 miles on it and a ride height so tall that Hummer EV buyers will look up to you wherever you go.

Listed over at Bring a Trailer, this 2006 year model truck is basically overbuilt to the moon. Under the clamshell hood is a 7.6-liter turbodiesel inline-six mated to an Allison five-speed automatic transmission and a hi/lo transfer case.

Of course, it needs that kind of heavy-duty powertrain to haul around its 14,500-pound weight. To put that in perspective, we’ve all remarked on the Hummer EV and its battery that weighs more than a Miata, but the International CXT weighs some 5,400 pounds more. That’s more than a 2020 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab.

According to the listing, that engine makes a grand total of just 220 hp (164 kW) and 540 lb-ft (731 Nm) of torque. Unsurprisingly, speed isn’t a major focus for the CXT. It’s worth noting that the last International CXT sold on BaT was of the same year and seemingly fitted with the same drivetrain.

In the comments of that listing, one individual claimed to be part of the team at International and pointed out that it actually developed 300 hp (223 kW) and 860 lb-ft (1,164 Nm) of torque. A build plate affixed to the vehicle said the same but no such plate is shown in this auction. We’ve reached out to the seller to confirm the specs.

While this won’t ever be as fast or, dare-we-say practical as the Hummer EV, it does look like it’s just as comfortable and spacious inside. It also has a real dump-truck function which the Hummer EV does not have. Finally, it’s far rarer than the new GMC because less than 400 of these were ever made by International.

It’s only bid up to $57,777 right now so it’s possible that you could drive away in something tall enough to drive over a Hummer EV for less than half of what some of those GMCs are going for right now.
