RED DEER, Alta. – While many radio stations go the cutesy route using Mini Coopers or Beetles or PT Cruisers to plaster with logos and buzz around their towns’ events, Corus Radio’s KG Country and Zed 99 went in a whole other direction with “Tiny”, its enormous new toy.
The truck (below) is the only one of its kind in Western Canada, says the stations’ Tamara Pfliger. It’s a CXT (the world’s largest production pick-up truck) from Glover International Truck and Engine Corp (they generally make big-rigs).
Combining towing, dumping and tilt bed capability with 220 hp and 540 lb.-ft. of torque and at six tons, its hauling capability is three times the payload of consumer pick-up trucks.
Inside the cab, Tiny boasts leather upholstery, captain’s chairs, wood grain trim, a fold down bench, DVD player and rear mounted camera for increased visibility behind the vehicle.
“If you’re passing through Red Deer, keep an eye out for “Tiny”, it’s not hard to miss!” says Pfliger.
