At 258 inches, or 21-1/2 feet long, the CXT's about 4-1/2 feet longer than the new Hummer H2 pickup, and about 2 inches longer than the F-350 Crew Cab. But it really towers over what's on the road now is in height, at 108 inches, or 11 feet, a foot above a basketball rim and more than two feet taller than the Hummer or the F-350.

The vehicle weighs about seven tons empty and can carry another six tons in its truck bed.

I could use something like this to tow my jetski. Even if your jetski is atop a 100 foot yacht

But it really towers over what's on the road now is in height, at 108 inches, or 11 feet I guess I'm going to have to get my tape measure adjusted.

It's basically your normal dump truck chassis with some creature comforts thrown in. It will be useless for off-road and will probably be loud and uncomfortable.
Upside: the engine will last at least 1 million miles or more before it can be rebuilt and then run for another million.

That would be a great rig for towing anything heavy like, maybe, your 42' yacht on its fancy trailer.
