Alton F-650 XUV

White92 · 11 February 2008

Shown at Chicago Auto Show

Based on a Ford Super Duty truck, the F-650 is powered by a 7.2-liter Caterpillar diesel engine.
Inside, it's got hardwood floors, custom captain's chairs, a 42-speaker sound system, two 16-inch TVs that drop down from the ceiling and another 42-inch plasma screen TV. It also has four computer workstations and, in case someone doesn't see you coming, a train horn.

The total price is about $200,000.

Go here to look at more pics and specs of it. It looks like they took Ford quality/fit/finish and knocked it down several notches. Look at the driver's area! How bad does that look!

All that work and money and yet they couldn't do anything about that hideously ugly steering wheel?!?

Did they pull it off the A-Team van?

Needs to be painted Primer Black and have some bars and spikes. Maybe a machine gun mount or two. Also needs a couple of these guys climbing around on the back. :biggrin:

I'd definitely need a bigger garage.

Nah, just live in the Ford.

All it needs now is a lift! I saw one of these lifted F650 beasts in my town the other day. The top of the bed was higher than the roof of a Toyota Sequoia, MUCH higher. Pure BADASS, Check out the rear axle on that monster.

The first thing that I notice when I look at that picture is no mud flaps. I can only imagine the people who have suffered rock chips because of that fool.

That is one of the ugliest interiors I've ever seen. Looks like it's from the 80s. Horrible!

Ford Super duty F650 custom job - $130k.

Custom Interior with 42 speakers, plasma T.V.'s - $30k.

Cheap A$$ steering wheel from a 2001 F150 - PRICELESS!!!

I've seen these before and they're monstrous! I was at the Browning/Briley last year and one of these rolled up and a friend of mine had the privelege of having one of his baskets off his golf-cart crushed lol.

Anyways I found out that Greg Ostertag (sp?) owns it and drove it down from Arizona. Here are some pics for y'all.

A buddy of mine standing next to it.

I want that badge hehe.

Greg's was more nicely done in my opinion and those sidesteps on the truck are actually fuel tanks!! Oh and sorry for the pic quality, taken from my phone.

Those are some nice vehicles, but I can't imagine what people would need them for. They look awesome though.

So I noticed that the one around my area has no side fuel tanks..... Is that an option or something?

jeff_L · 13 February 2008

Beckert, how can you look at yourself in the mirror every morning with that thing in the driveway? I mean, come on, get real.

Yeah the companies that you order from have different options and pricing for different versions

Was there sarcasm in this message? If so forgive me, but that was just rude.

There's one of the sites that you can order off of and they have pricing and options listed and everything. Pretty neat vehicles and it looks like the stopped using the CAT engine and started using Cummins. Oh and can you imagine driving a 6-door F-650 around town?!?!
