A Street-Legal Vehicle That Makes A Hummer Look Like A Smart-Car





We've seen some outrageous F-650-based vehicles like this before (the DeBerti for one), but for some reason, the Alton F-650 XUV jumped out at us at the Chicago Auto Show. Perhaps we were already focused on Ford's Work Solutions trucks in the vicinity, but this insane beast just put our DSLRs on autopilot. The F-650-based XUV was built by Alton Manufacturing and carries a GVWR of 25,999 lbs. That makes the 660 ft-lbs of torque generated by its 7.2L Caterpillar engine seem paltry.

"I can almost hear Shell, Exxon, and all the oil & gas companies wetting themselves - I wonder what the gas milea - or is this the first vehicle for the road that will be gas footage??"
