The International Extreme Truck Series (often identified by the acronym XT) is a range of pickup trucks produced by Navistar International from 2004 to 2008. The first International-brand vehicle marketed for non-commercial sale since 1980, the XT line also marked the return of the company to pickup truck production since the final generation of the (smaller) Light Line pickup trucks in 1975.
The largest pickup trucks ever mass-produced for retail sale, two of the XT trucks were developed from the International medium-duty truck range, while the third was a variant of an International military tactical vehicle (similar in concept to the Hummer H1). As a complement to their commercial-grade capabilities, International marketed the XT line as a dual-purpose vehicle, marketing the extroverted appearance of the vehicle as a promotional "rolling billboard" for business owners.[1]
After 2008, Navistar ended production of all three XT-series trucks.[2][3][1] The company assembled the vehicles in its Garland, Texas and Springfield, Ohio facilities.
