DALLAS, Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- It's a popular notion that everything is bigger in Texas, and now DFW Elite Auto Rental proves it with the addition of the International CXT, the world's largest pickup. With a nine-foot-tall cab, the CXT -- or "commercial extreme truck" -- is two feet taller and nearly five feet longer than the Hummer H2.
The CXT's eight-foot pickup bed and polished chrome bumper help create the ultimate brawny, eye-catching truck. Powerful but refined, the truck turns heads everywhere it goes. And although its huge stature hints at an industrial vehicle, the interior is pure luxury, with an air-ride cab, individual leather bucket seats and a spacious interior. Tinted windows, a premium sound system, lush carpeting and air brakes complete the luxury truck experience. " It's certainly a head turner," says Dennis Tidwell, General manager of Southwest International Trucks Inc (www.SWIT-TX.com ) adding "we were sure excited to see one of these premium trucks go to a rental fleet."

"Driving one of these trucks really is the best of both worlds," said DFW Elite Auto Rental founder Ron Sturgeon. "It has the luxury of a fine automobile and the enormous power of a huge truck. It definitely makes a statement for anyone who's behind the wheel."

If you're looking for something just a little bit smaller, DFW Elite Auto Rental also offers the International RXT which, like the CXT, has a commercial pickup bed and seats five. Slightly sportier and more athletic than its bigger brother, the International RXT has an eight-foot-tall cab, an aerodynamically shaped hood, dual rear wheels and hydraulic brakes.

"These are big, bold trucks that are unlike anything else out there on the road today," Sturgeon says. "Texans love their trucks, so it makes sense that they would fall in love with trucks like these."

DFW Elite Auto Rental offers a rental fleet of more than 35 Exotic and luxury cars, SUVs and pickups. The company's elite White Glove Service includes complimentary pick-up and delivery of vehicles, 24-hour roadside assistance, pre-programmed GPS navigation assistance and even designer sunglasses and a complimentary console towel.

DFW Elite Auto Rental.com is located at 5940 Eden in Fort Worth, and serves Houston, San Antonio, and Austin, as well as the DFW Metroplex.
