What Truck Is This???

[DailyMoparGuy]

So my girlfriend and I were driving around Houston and drove past this truck in someone’s driveway. I try to avoid taking pictures of people’s property but this thing was an exception.

It’s hard to tell in the pictures but it was huge…like slightly bigger than a Humvee huge.

I can’t quite make out the badging. Any ideas on what it is?

Same 6.0 liter as the older Powerstroke/Ford. It makes sense because Navistar made the 6.0 for Ford and we all know how that turned out.

I would’ve never guessed that. Well, I know what rabbit hole I’m going down tonight on YouTube haha. Thanks for the info.

Hey man, I LOVED my 6.0 Powerstroke in my '04 F350..... it only blew up once while I owned it

But for real, I really did love driving it when it ran properly..... owned it 14 years. Definitely had it's issues though.

Yup, it's a shame Ford had to mess with the mapping and various other things. That Navistar 6.0 was a beast in their in-house test cells.
I had an '04 3/4 ton 4x4 with it in there, had some friends at the Navistar plant that used to be in Indy, they straightened out the fuel and timing mapping and I have zero complaints about that truck.

Okay, scratch my Gladiator Rubicon or Mojave, I just found my new retirement present. Now I just have to get them gals from Hidden Figures to do some of that math stuff and come up equivalent ratio tires and lift as the 35’s with 2 inch Mopar lift that I had in mind…
Go BIG or go home!?

don't know what is wrong with the 6.0. My 2003 has 450,000 miles. It's outlasted the paint.

If you can still find an International MXT, they’re around $90k+ for a 2008.

That's a full size Gladiator. We don't see many adult Gladiators.

But the MXT is real, whereas this thing is just a concept.
