How do you like your International Prostar?

My company is looking at leasing a 53' tractor trailer. One truck that we are looking at is a 2009 International Prostar with a Cummins engine. I wasn't able to find any info on this truck in the forum. I'd love to get some good advice. Thanks!

i know they have less space in them than the 9400's. a lot less under the bunk because the sleeper A/C is under there instead of under the pasenger seat.

They are a nice riding and driving truck. I don't really like the layout of the dash. I could tell you more, but the issues that I had were with a preproduction truck so the problems I had have been resolved for production trucks.

I have about 9k miles on my 09 Prostar and its the nicest tractor I have been in. I came out of a 07 Volvo to get into this Cornrow Corvette and I am more than pleased. Roomy sleeper and very comfy ride. I like the exterior styling as well. Nice tractors all the way around IMO.

The company I am with bought about 30 of them, but recently cancelled their order for another 50 because of warranty issues with the accessory drive on the ones we have.

The company I drive for has Freightliner's and International's. I've asked a couple driver's about the ProStar, not that I will be driving one, and some like them and most hate them. The one's that hate them say there isn't enough room, being a mid roof sleeper over the Freightliner Condo's.

All the new trucks, 07 and newer, are Automatics with Super Singles
