Diesel-Powered Super Pickup Turns Heads AG WORLD 31-3-24 Predator Coachworks of DuBois, Penn., used creativity and skill to build a "super pickup" they've named the Predator XTRV.
It's made by stretching an F-650 from four to six doors and customizing nearly everything else. The unit's heavy-duty 7.2L Caterpillar C7 engine puts out 300 hp. This monster has an Allison 6-speed automatic transmission and a 4.10 gear set. Consequently, the 26,000-lb. GVWR attention-getter can reach a speed of 105 mph. It features unique two-step running boards to climb inside and has DVD navigation with plenty of snazzy F-150 seats.
"We see this as a new trend for tow vehicles in a wide variety of applications," says Predator marketing and sales manager Jeff Towns. "Trailers are getting larger and larger and we offer a lot more pulling power and durability than what's currently out there."
The unit is priced at $175,000. The base four-door version (similarly equipped) starts at $125,000.
