    They haven't made a Maxxforce engine since 2014 so obviously it didn't come with that.

    They do ride nice and steer straight down to road like a car , now if they could just fix the electrical gremlins.

    One of our mechanics told me the Internationals are in the shop more than any other truck. Just what I wanted to hear.

    If yours is an automatic just wait till you hit 50K. I worked for a company that had 4 brand new 2019 LT daycabs and they all started acting up changing into 7th gear.

    On more than one occasion I found myself on I95 with a truck in a false neutral between 6 &7th gear and no suitable shoulder to head for.

    I'm in my second 2022 LT after being with this company since December of last year. The first one only had 40k miles on it when the ECM completely fried out on it. This one I have issues with air supply issues whenever I'm trying to dock on any kind of an incline.
    As far as the interior. The layout is absolutely garbage and the materials are the same. I don't know who designed them but they #### sure weren't a OTR driver

    My best friend's complaint to a T. He says that he never had road rage until his company put him in a new International LT. All the beeps and buzzes drive him insane.

    83K miles and no more breakdowns, yet. •Other drivers complain about the super-bright headlights; nothing I can do about it. Sorry.
    •The auto-idle climate control has no thermostat, so you can't just set a temperature. Still haven't figured it out. But at least it fires up every time when the battery voltage drops which is more than I can say for KW and Crapcadia.
    •I'm 6-foot and the seat doesn't move back far enough which hurts my knee after awhile. KW was the same thing. Cascadia and Peterbilts were the only trucks that the seat moves back far enough.
    •Turn signals don't cancel flashers like in every other truck I've had. Dumb.
    •And last but definitely not least, you can't put it into gear if the air pressure is below 100. If you're backing into a tight spot using the brakes and pulling up a lot, the pressure drops below 100 and you can't put it in reverse until it builds pressure again. So you're sitting there blocking the driveway like an idiot. To me it's also a safety issue. If you really need to move the truck in an emergency, you can't sit there and wait for the pressure to build up.

    11 years out here and I have had a few.
    All of them have had electrical problems, and my current truck does not like to keep an alignment so it doesn't often steer straight.

    I'll take a Cascadia with the Detroit DD15/DT12 combo any day.

    Its amazing how far the Cascadia has come in the past few years, isn't it? They went from being the cheapest fleet-spec trucks with no real redeeming qualities to one of the more reliable, fuel-efficient, and driver-friendly platforms on the market.

    I’ve been driving a 2019 International LT with a Cummins X-15 and an Eaton 10 speed for almost three years, and as I already noted earlier in this thread, it’s been a comfortable and reliable truck for me.
