International trucks have been built and sold by the International Harvester Company (renamed Navistar International in 1986) from 1914 until the present (2018). Before 1914 trucks were sold as "International", "International Harvester", and "International Motor Trucks".

Originally marketed to farmers the trucks were immediately successful and were sold to businesses in cities as well. Since then International trucks have been sold worldwide and built or assembled in the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, England, Germany, Mexico, South Africa, the Soviet Union, and Turkey.

In 2018 International markets six separate series of medium-duty, heavy-duty, and severe-service trucks with loaded weights up to 92,000 pounds (42,000 kg) and up to 140,000 pounds (64,000 kg) including trailers. International also has always built a wide range of custom and speciality use trucks and chassis.

1902–1919

In 1902 five Chicago-based farm machinery companies merged to become International Harvester Company. The new company had dealers and plants throughout the mid-west.

In 1907 they released the Auto-Buggy, a small vehicle designed for rural roads and conditions. After building one hundred pre-production models in Chicago production began in Akron, Ohio. A second vehicle, the Auto Wagon with a cargo body, was introduced in 1909. Other than the engine itself they used the same technology as then current farm equipment. They could be understood and maintained by farmers and serviced by the dealer network already in place. In 1909 the two-seat Roadster was also introduced. An entirely different vehicle, this was the only passenger automobile International Harvester built.

The Auto Buggy and Auto Wagon were successful, over 3,000 had been built by 1910. At the time this was a very large number in a new market. Designed for farmers, city businesses were also buying them. In 1911 the Auto Wagon was offered in models with different sizes and bodies. Since then International has offered a wide range of models and chassis for specialized bodies.

In 1915 a new type of truck with a front-mounted engine and lower profile tires, the Model F series, was introduced to replace the crude Auto-Wagons.[1][2][3]

Auto Buggy (1907)

Models: Auto Buggy, Auto Wagon AA, AW, MA, MW, MAX, MWX[4]

The Auto Buggy was the first powered vehicle built by International Harvester. It was designed for farmers using poor rural roads. It was basically a light wooden buggy with a primitive gasoline engine mounted below the body. Tall wooden-spoke wheels had iron treads on a wooden rim. Later pneumatic tires could be fitted. They were sometimes called "Highwheelers". Seats could be mounted in the rear for two more passengers. The Auto Buggy was discontinued in 1912 as International focused on trucks.

The Auto Wagon was introduced in 1909. It was an Auto Buggy with a wagon body. In 1912 there were six models. They would be built until 1916.

Development started in 1898. A two-cylinder air-cooled engine developing 20 hp (15 kW) was mounted under the body. By 1912 a water-cooled version was available. A two-speed transmission used roller-chains to drive the rear wheels. There was a mechanical band brake for the rear wheels.

An un-related "High-wheeler", the Roadster, was offered from 1910 to 1912. It had a gasoline inline 4 with a three-speed transmission, driveshaft, and geared differential axle.[5][6][7]

F Series (1913)

Models: F, G, H, K, L[4]

The Model F was a completely different type of truck than the Auto Wagon. It had a steel ladder frame with beam axles on semi-elliptic leaf springs. A front-mounted, water-cooled engine drove through a four-speed transmission and driveshaft to a geared differential rear axle. There were external band brakes on the rear wheels

The F had a "Renault-type" tapered hood with the radiator behind the engine (the Mack AC "Bulldog" also had one). This was thought to protect the radiator and make the engine easier to work on. It put the hot radiator directly in front of the driver and it was hard to work on the radiator. This was the only series to have one.[8][9]

1920–1939

In the 1920s trucks developed a common layout. A water cooled engines with a front mounted radiator drove a transmission, driveshaft, and rear axle with a geared differential (only very heavy-duty trucks used chain-drive). Cabs became more enclosed.

In 1921 a factory in Springfield, Ohio, was modified for truck production. 1923 a new plant was opened in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It replaced the Akron plant for truck production. In 1922 International built its first school bus (on a S-Series). Cowl-chassis for school busses have been offered ever since.

In 1934 the C Series were the first International trucks with internal expanding drum brakes.

Also in 1934 Hendrickson walking-beam tandem rear axles were introduced in heavy trucks. They remain available in 2018.

In 1936 all International models were equipped with hydraulic service brakes. All following models would have either hydraulic or air service brakes.[10][11][12][13]

Metro (1938)

Models: D, K/KB, L, R, S, and A chassis[14]

The Metro series step vans were introduced in 1938. This vehicle type was once commonly used for milk or bakery delivery.[15] The overall design of the Metro vans remained largely unchanged from 1938 until 1965 when it was redesigned with a squared body.[16][17][18]

1940–1959

The K-series, introduced in 1940, was built in large numbers during World War II for civilians, the military, and Lend-Lease export. When the war was over it was slightly updated and sold until the new post-war designs were introduced in the 1950s.

In 1952 a panel truck fitted with windows was introduced as the Travelall. With rear seats installed it was a heavy station wagon and without seats it could carry cargo. The Travelall became a standard model in the light truck series.[19][20][21][22]

K and KB Series (1940-1948)

Models: (K) 1, 1-M, 2, 3, 3-M, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7-COE, 8, 11, 12[23]
Models: (KB) 1, 1-M, 2, 3, 3-M, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12[24]

The K Series was introduced in mid 1940. All models had the same cab but heavier versions had taller bodywork and different hoods for larger engines and stronger chassis. Inline six-cylinder gasoline engines were used. Three, four, and five speed transmissions were used. In 1947 the K was updated as the KB. All models had hydraulic drum brakes. The model K-8 and models KB-8 and larger were available with tandem rear axles. The KB series was replaced by the L Series in 1949.[25][26][27]

L Series (1949–1952)

Models: 110, 120, 130, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200, 210, 300[28]

The L-Series was introduced in 1949. All models had the same cab but heavier versions had taller bodywork and different hoods for larger engines and stronger chassis. Inline six-cylinder gasoline engines were used. Three, four, and five speed transmissions were used. All models had all-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, the 160 and larger models had vacuum assist Air brakes were available on larger models. The 170, 190, and 210 models were available with tandem rear axles. The L-series was replaced by the R Series in 1952.[29][30][31]

R series (1953-1971)

The R series replaced the L-Series in 1953. It was largely a facelift of the light and medium models, there were few mechanical changes. All models had the same cab but heavier versions had taller bodywork and different hoods for larger engines and stronger chassis. Inline six-cylinder gasoline engines were used, in models 190 and larger a Cummins diesel was available. Three, four, and five speed transmissions were used. All models had hydraulic drum brakes standard, the 160 and larger had vacuum assist. The 180 and larger models were available with air brakes. The 170 and larger models were available with tandem rear axles. In 1955 the new S Series was announced, replacing the light and medium-sized models. The heavier-duty versions were replaced in 1972.

A and B Series (1957)

Models: (A/B) 100, 110, 120, 130 140, 150, 160, 170, 180[33]

Models: (AC/BC) 150, 160, 170, 180, 1890[34]

The A-Series (or A-line) replaced the S-Series in April 1957. The name stood for "Anniversary", as 1957 marked the fiftieth (or Golden) anniversary of truck production. It was largely a re-bodied version of the light and medium S-Series truck, incorporating a wide cab and more integrated fenders.[35] A modified version of this truck range was also built in Australia until 1979, where it was marketed both as an International and as a Dodge. In 1959 a facelift and optional V8 engines changed the name to the B-Series.[36] A variant, the AC/BC, was a modified conventional with the cab mounted higher on the frame and a shorter hood. These model's layout and cab led directly to the Loadstar, which replaced them in 1962. At that time International stopped building long conventional medium-duty trucks.[37]

1960–1979

In the 1960s a range of new named series were introduced. The Loadstar, Fleetstar, and Transtar (Paystar was added in 1972) would be built without major change until replaced between 1977 and 2001.

In 1977 the S Series was introduced. They replaced the Loadstar and Fleetstar completely and could do some of the work of the Paystar and Transtar. They were so successful that they are sometimes considered the truck that saved International Harvester from bankruptcy. S Series (and improved "thousand" series) models were built until replaced between 2001 and 2003. [38][39][40][41]

Loadstar (1962–1979)

Models: 1600, 1600 4x4, 1700, 1700 4x4, F1700[lower-alpha 10], F1700 6x6, 1800, F1800, CO-1600[lower-alpha 2], CO-1700, CO-1800, and Schoolmaster chassis

The Loadstar was a medium-duty short-hood conventional introduced in 1962. When introduced it had a grey grill and "butterfly" hood, but in 1971 a one-piece tilting hood became standard. The cab (also used on the Fleetstar) had been introduced on the A series in 1957. Cab-over-engine models were also available until replaced by the Cargostar in 1971. The Loadstar was used for local delivery, construction, and farming. The 1800 was available as a semi-tractor. With all wheel drive it was also used for fire engines, snow-plows, and utility work. The Loadstar conventionals were replaced by the S Series in 1977.

The Loadstar had gasoline, mid-range diesel, and LPG engines. The short hood of the Loadstar meant that V-8 engines fit better than longer inline-6 engines, only the small "Blue Diamond BD264/282/308 with 154 to 202 horsepower (115 to 151 kW) were used. V8 gasoline engines were the V304/345/392 family with 136 to 178 horsepower (101 to 133 kW). LPG models were also available. In 1974 the larger block MV404 with 206 horsepower (154 kW) was introduced. Mid-range diesels were International V8s up to 200 horsepower (150 kW), the Detroit Diesel 6V53 with ???, and Perkins inline-6s up to 130 horsepower (97 kW).

The 1600 had a 4-speed manual synchromesh transmission standard, all other models had a 5-speed. standard. All gasoline single axle models could have a 2-speed rear axle. Some larger models were available with 8- and 10-speed Roadranger manual transmissions. 4- and 6-speed automatic transmissions were available on some models.[42]

All models had vacuum assisted hydraulic drum brakes standard. Air over hydraulic (where compressed air applies the hydraulic brakes) and full air brakes were available. A driven front axle was available on 1600 and 1700 models and tandem axles were available on 1700 and 1800 models (cab-over-engine models could have neither). Gross vehicle weight ratings (total weight of the truck) were from 18,200 to 30,200 pounds (8,300 to 13,700 kg) up to 30,200 pounds (13,700 kg) and up to 50,000 pounds (23,000 kg) including trailers.[43][44][45]

Fleetstar (1963–1977)

Models: 1900, F1900[lower-alpha 10], 2000, F2000, 2000D, F2000D, 2050, F2050, 2070, F2070, 2100, F2100

The Fleetstar was a heavy-duty short-hood conventional. It was introduced in 1962 and entered production in 1963. The cab, grey grill, and "butterfly" hood were the same as used on the Loadstar. In 1971 a one-piece tilting hood became standard. The Fleetstar was used as both a local straight truck with mid-range engines and as a semi-tractor with heavy-duty engines. The Fleetstar was replaced by the S-Series in 1977.

The Fleetstar had gasoline, mid-range diesel, and heavy-duty diesel engines. The short hood meant that the longer inline-6-cylinder engines continued back through the firewall and into the cab. A shroud ("doghouse") came back from the firewall and covered the engine to the floor. Gasoline engines were the "Red Diamond" RD-406/450/501 family of inline-6 engines with 175 to 202 horsepower (130 to 151 kW) and the VS-401/478/549 with 206 to 285 horsepower (154 to 213 kW). Mid-range diesels were the Cummins V6 with 195 horsepower (145 kW), International V8s with up to 180 horsepower (130 kW), the Caterpillar 3208 with 225 horsepower (168 kW), and the DT466 with 210 horsepower (160 kW). The heavy-duty diesels were Cummins from the NH220 with 220 horsepower (160 kW) to the NTC335 with 335 horsepower (250 kW), a Detroit Diesel 6-71 with 238 horsepower (177 kW), and a Caterpillar 3406 with 325 horsepower (242 kW).

All models except Detroit Diesels had a five speed transmission standard, the Detroit Diesel models had a 10-speed Roadranger. Single axle trucks with 5-speed transmissions had 2-speed rear axles available. Nine-, 10-, and 13-speed Roadrangers were available on heavier models.

All gasoline models had vacuum assisted hydraulic drum brakes standard. Air trailer brakes and full air brakes were available. Diesel models had full air brakes. Gross vehicle weight ratings (total weight of the truck) could be from 37,500 pounds (17,000 kg) up to 61,000 pounds (28,000 kg) and up to 79,000 pounds (36,000 kg) including trailers.[43][46][47]

Transtar CO4070 (1968–1981)

Models: CO4070A[lower-alpha 2], COF4070A[lower-alpha 10], CO4070B, COF4070B, COF4090A

The Transtar cab-over-engines models were heavy-duty over-the-road semi-tractors introduced in 1968. They used an improved CO4000 cab from 1965, The CO4090A and 4070B had the cab raised so high-power engines could be used. Daycab models were available for regional use but most had a 23 inches (58 cm) or 33 inches (84 cm) inch sleeper compartment. In 1974 the improved raised cab CO4070B Transtar II was introduced and the low-cab version was discontinued. The Transtar II was replaced by the CO9670 in 1984.

The CO4070/4090 had heavy duty and high-power diesel engines. Detroit Diesel had the 6-71 with 238, 8V-71 with 350 horsepower (260 kW), the 6V-92 with 270 horsepower (200 kW), and the 8V-92 with 445 horsepower (332 kW).

Models: CO-1600[lower-alpha 2], CO-1700, CO-1800, COF-1800[lower-alpha 10], CO-1900, COF-1900

The Cargostar was a forward control cab-over-engine medium-duty series introduced in 1970. Replacing the cab-over-engine Loadstar models, the Cargostar had an improved cab and heavier models. The Cargostar's maneuverability made it useful in cities as straight trucks, larger models could be local semi-tractors. The Cargostar was discontinued in 1986.

The Cargostar had gasoline and mid-range diesel engines. Gasoline engines were the "Red Diamond" RD-406/450/501 family of inline-6 engines with 175 to 202 horsepower (130 to 151 kW) and the VS-401/478/549 V8 with 206 to 285 horsepower (154 to 213 kW).

All trucks with a 4 or 5-speed transmission could have a 2-speed rear axle (including tandems). 4, 5, and 6-speed automatics were optional on different models. The 1900/F1900 had a 10-speed and 13-speed (tandem only) Roadranger® transmissions optional.

All gasoline single rear axle models had vacuum-assisted hydraulic drum brakes with full air optional. Diesel and tandem models had full-air brakes standard. Gross vehicle weight ratings (total weight of the truck) were from 19,500 to 54,000 pounds (8,800 to 24,500 kg) and up to 65,000 pounds (29,000 kg) including trailers.[43][49][50]

Transtar 4200/4300 (1970–1984)

Models: 4200, F4200[lower-alpha 10], 4300, F4300

The Transtar was a heavy-duty long hood conventional introduced in 1970. It had a new aluminum cab that would also be used by the new Paystar. A large forward tilting rectangular hood had a very large grille area. The Transtar was used as a semi-tractor for local construction, regional hauling, and long distance over-the-road trucking. In 1985 the Transtar was rebranded the International 9370.

The Transtar only had heavy-duty diesel engines. Detroit Diesel had the 8V71 with 260 horsepower (190 kW), the 6V-92 with 270 horsepower (200 kW), the 12V71 with 434 horsepower (324 kW), and the 8V-92 with 445hp.

All trucks had a Roadranger 10-speed transmissions standard, 8, 9, 13, and 15-speed were optional. A 5-speed main and 4-speed auxiliary were available on tandem axle models, a 16-speed was also available in tandem axles.

All Transtars had full air brakes. The standard rear suspension was leaf springs, air suspension, walking beam, and other types were optional. Gross vehicle weight ratings (total weight of the truck) were up to 61,000 pounds (28,000 kg) and up to 79,000 pounds (36,000 kg) including trailers.[43][48]

Paystar 5000 (1972–1998)

Models: 5000, 5000 4x4, F5000[lower-alpha 10], F5000 6x6

The Paystar was a severe service conventional introduced in 1972. It used the cab introduced on the Transtar 4200/4300. It had a set-back front axle with a butterfly hood and flat diamond plate fenders. In 1973 a set-forward front axle model with a fiberglass tilting hood similar to the Transtar 4200/4300 was added. The Paystar had semi-tractor and specialty versions but was commonly used for straight trucks like heavy-duty dump trucks and concrete mixers. The Paystar was built with little change until replaced by a new 5000i series in 1999.

Only diesel engines were used in Paystars, both mid-range and heavy-duty families. Mid-range engines were International V8s with up to 200 horsepower (150 kW), a Caterpillar 3208 with 225 horsepower (168 kW), a Detroit Diesel 6V-53 with 200 horsepower (150 kW) and in 1975 a International DT466 with 210 horsepower (160 kW).

Detroit Diesel had a 6-71 with 238 horsepower (177 kW), a 6V92 with 270 horsepower (200 kW), and a 8V-71T with 350 horsepower (260 kW).

Most models had a 5-speed transmission standard and 6X4 models could have a 3 or 4-speed auxiliary. Mid-range engines could have a Roadranger medium-duty 13-speed and heavy-duty models could have 10 and 13 speeds. Different models of 5-speed, 6 and 7-speed, and automatic transmissions were sometimes available. All powered front axle models had a 2-speed transfer case except for those that had the medium-duty 13-speed, it had a low range in the transmission and used a single-speed transfer.

All models had full-air with drum brakes. Both single and rear tandem models could have a front driven axle (4X4, 6X6), they were later discontinued on tandem models. The Paystars were the heaviest road trucks International built, with gross vehicle weight ratings (total weight of the truck) from 48,860 to 73,160 pounds (22,160 to 33,180 kg) and up to 120,000 pounds (54,000 kg) including trailers.[51]

The S-Series was a range of medium and heavy-duty conventional trucks that was introduced in 1977 to replace and widen the Loadstar and Fleetstar lines. It used a new cab with flat panels and forward tilting hood in different lengths. The series was very wide, from the medium duty 1600 to the regional semi-tractor 2500 and severe-service 2600. In 2001 medium-duty production ended, replaced by the 4000-series (today the Durastar) with severe-service trucks ending production in 2003. In 2004 the last Schoolmaster was built.

The S-series could have gasoline, mid-range diesel, and heavy-duty diesel engines. Gasoline engines were the V-345 V8 with 158 horsepower (118 kW) and the MV-404/446/537 family with 206 to 285 horsepower (154 to 213 kW). Mid-range diesel engines were International V8s with up to 190 horsepower (140 kW), Caterpillar 3208 with 210 horsepower (160 kW), and the International DT-466 with 210 horsepower (160 kW). Heavy-duty diesel engines were the Caterpillar 3406 with up to 380 horsepower (280 kW) and Cummins up to NTC350 with 350 horsepower (260 kW). Detroit Diesel had the 6-71 with 238 horsepower (177 kW), the 6V-92 with 307 horsepower (229 kW), and the 8V-71 with 370 horsepower (280 kW).

All gasoline and mid-range diesel models could have 5-speed transmissions, larger ones could have 10 and 13-speed Roadrangers. Heavy-duty engines used 6 and 7-speed manual and 8, 9, 10, and 13-speed Roadrangers. All had at least one automatic transmission available.

The series was offered with a driven front axle and single or tandem rear axles. Gasoline engined straight trucks had vacuum assisted hydraulic brakes, all diesel and semi-tractor models had air brakes. The S Series had a very wide range of sizes with gross vehicle weight ratings (total weight of the truck) from 19,500,000 to 54,000 pounds (8,845,000 to 24,000 kg) and up to 79,000 pounds (36,000 kg) including trailers.[52][53]

1980–1999

In a 1984-1986 down-sizing of the company all farm and construction machinery business, with the name "International Harvester" and the IH logo, was sold to Tenneco's J. I. Case division, at that time the company was renamed "Navistar" and a new logo, the "Diamond Road", was registered. Most S Series trucks were updated with new low-drag hoods and mechanical improvements. They became the 4000 and 8000 series. Most other models, including the S2600, stayed largely unchanged until replaced in 2000-2003.[54][55] [56][57][58]

4000 (1988–2000)

Models: 4600, 4700, 4700LP, 4800 4x4, 4900, F4900[lower-alpha 10], F4900 6x6

The 4000 series were medium duty trucks. Introduced in 1988 as an evolution of the S Series they continued in production until replaced by the "New Generation Vehicle" 4000 Series in 2001. They were normally used for local delivery and vocational work but there were also semi-tractor, service, and specialty models.[59][60]

They used an S Series cab with a new low-profile hood that improved driver visibility and reduced air resistance. Normally day-cabs were used but crew-cabs were available.[60][61]

Only International mid-range diesel engines were available. Allison, Fuller, and Spicer transmissions between 5 and 13 speeds were available. Low-profile chassis models that could have a low loading height were available. Driven front and tandem rear axles were available. Gross vehicle weight ratings (total weight of the truck) were between 21,500 pounds (9,800 kg) and 28,000 pounds (13,000 kg) and up to 56,000 pounds (25,000 kg) with tandem rear axles.[62][43]

Paystar 5000 (1972–1999)

Models: 5000, 5000 4x4, F5000[lower-alpha 10], F5000 6x6

The Paystar 5000 Series are severe service trucks. They remained largely unchanged from their introduction in 1972 until replaced by the new generation 5000 series in 1999. The 5000 had semi-tractor and specialty versions but was commonly used for straight trucks like heavy-duty dump trucks and concrete mixers.[63]

They used an aluminum day-cab also used by the Transtar/9000 conventional and had a long rectangular hood. Set-back front axle models had flat diamond-plate fenders and a butterfly hood, set-forward front axle models had a fiberglass hood. A fiberglass set-back axle fiberglass hood became available in 1994.[63]

The main change to the Paystar was the evolution of engines available. In 1980 an International mid-range engine had 210 horsepower (160 kW), Caterpillar, Cummins, and Detroit Diesel engines were available with up to 460 horsepower (340 kW) by 1999. Fuller manual transmissions with 5 to 15-speeds were available. Set-forward, set-back, and driven front axles were available and specialty models could have two steering axles. Single, tandem, and lift axles were available. Gross vehicle weight ratings (total weight of the truck) could be up to 85,000 pounds (39,000 kg) and up to 140,000 pounds (64,000 kg) including trailers.[43][64]

8000 (1987–2000)

Models: 8100, 8200, 8300 (7100 similar)

The 8000 Series were heavy-duty semi-tractors. Introduced in 1987, a short-hood model was available in 1989. The short-hood models were replaced with the new generation 8300 Series in 2002. They were used almost exclusively as a regional semi-tractor, but local semi-tractor and strait-truck models were offered.[65][66]

They used an S Series cab with a low-profile hood, a set-back front axle allowed the front fenders to be tapered and low-drag. A less aerodynamic short hood which was similar to the 4000 series was used when overall length is important. Intended for regional high-speed highway use with high fuel efficiency, there is a very wide range of aerodynamic aids for both short and long hood models. [67][68]

High-horsepower engines from Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, and International were available. Fuller manual transmissions were used. Gross vehicle weight ratings (total weight of the truck) were up to 50,000 pounds (23,000 kg) and up to 80,000 pounds (36,000 kg) including trailers [69]

9000i (1984–1999)

Models: 9000, 9100, 9200, 9300, 9300SBA, 9400, 9600, 9700

The 9000i Series are heavy-duty semi-tractors. They were introduced in 1984 as an update of the Transtar 4200/4300, which they replaced. The 4200/4300/9000i design remained largely unchanged from their introduction in 1970 until replaced by the new generation 9000i series in 1999. The 9000i were almost exclusively used as semi-tractors but a few straight trucks were built.[70]

They used an aluminum day-cab also used by the Paystar 5000 conventional and had a long rectangular hood. Most were set-forward front axle models but in 1989 a set-back front axle with a lower-profile hood was introduced. When used for long-distances an external "box" type sleeper could be fitted.[71]

The long hood and large grill area allowed the largest highway engines to be used. Caterpillar, Cummins, and Detroit Diesel engines were available with up to 480 horsepower (360 kW). Fuller manual transmissions with 5 to 15-speeds were available. Single and tandem, rear axles were available. Gross vehicle weight ratings (total weight of the truck) could be up to 60,000 pounds (27,000 kg) and up to 140,000 pounds (64,000 kg) including trailers.[43][72]

CO9000 (1981-1999)

Models: CO9600, CO9700

The CO9000 series was a heavy-duty cab-over-engine highway tractor. Introduced in 1981 to replace the Transtar II. A set-back model was introduced in 1988. Production ended in 1998.[73]

Making use of smaller-displacement diesel engines, the CO9670 introduced a wider cab, larger doors (shared with the conventional Transtar and Paystar), and a larger windshield. The set-back front axle version was the first cabover sold in North America with a completely flat floor.[74]

Caterpillar, Cummins, and Detroit Diesel engines were available with up to 444 horsepower (331 kW). Fuller manual transmissions with 9 to 13-speeds were available. Single and tandem rear axles were available. Gross vehicle weight ratings (total weight of the truck) could be up to 60,000 pounds (27,000 kg) and up to 140,000 pounds (64,000 kg) including trailers.[75]

2000–2009

In 2001 the new "Next Generation Vehicle" models were introduced. At first most used the same series number names as the trucks they replaced, in 2006-2007 most were renamed with "Star" as the end of the name.[43][76]

In 2000 International had a range of low and medium power diesel engines, Caterpillar and Cummins engines were used in heavier applications. In 2008 two larger International engines were introduced to replace many Caterpillar and Cummins engines. All International engines between 2008 and 2014 were named "MaxxForce".[43][77]

4000 / DuraStar (2001–2017)

Models: 4300, 4400

A set-back front axle allowed a low drag hood. The ProStar had two diesel engines, the International N13 up to 475 horsepower (354 kW) and the Cummins ISX with up to 550 horsepower (410 kW). Fuller manuals and automated manuals with 10 to 18-speeds and Allison 10-speed automatic transmissions were available. Single or tandem rear axles are mounted on an air suspension. It is intended for long-distance use and has high-horsepower and sleeper models. The ProStar was replaced by the LT in 2017.[27][43][78]

2010-present

International's technology to meet 2010 emissions standards was a failure, they still couldn't meet the standards in 2012 and engine reliability suffered. Medium power Cummins engines were re-introduced in 2014. In 2018 International stopped building all engines except the medium/high-horsepower A26, all other models have Cummins engines.[43][80][81][82][83][84]

Between 2016 and 2018 all models were updated with small cosmetic and mechanical changes and renamed without "Star". Some weights on comparable models were increased but the entire range was largely unchanged.[43][78]
