    The problem with emissions is, International is involved, and we all know what a raving success the Maxxfarce motor was...and International is partly owned by VW...which got their perverbial butt spanked by the US government for screwing with emissions numbers on their 4-wheeler diesel engine a while back...

    Ya know i was going to say something witty and funny in response but its too #### hot today for me to bother and i just spent 4 hours in a metal bucket shoveling in 106 weather. Ill just say kindly cut the snippy. That happened when i was still in diapers and i didnt know they had flopped so your EPA post caught me off guard and ligitimately confused me because it came out of left field from my prespective. So i was ligit thinking you were meaning to quote someone else and wanted to confirm it.

    My comment of "let them try" was more of a "hay guys the class fat kid is about to try and climb the side of the school!!!" He is likely going to fall on his ### and we will laugh. If not thats awsome though.

    Regardless of if they flop or not that specific truck is still neat looking though /shrug i wouldnt drive it but it looks neat.

    The European manufacturers are making some pretty hefty gains in the North American bus market .

    and a V-8 isn’t appealing to me for a heavy truck .
    Cat made some V-8s and while they had good HP they lacked the pulling power of the straight six .

    Look at Scania longline, very nice sleepers and cab is flat floor. Scania I believe is part of VW and VW owns quite a bit of navistar

    Yep
    Just gotta keep your stuff fastened down.
    Kinda like in a boat .

    when I had a cabover I just kept everything in a duffel bag , and strap the bag down when I needed to tilt the cab.

    you can check the oil and water without lifting the cab .

    I hear you. But that don't work with a fridge and microwave. LOL

    Well I guess it could. I did have the fridge ratchet strapped down incase of an accident.

    Seems like a lot of ventures Navistar sticks their fingers in ends up a flop. 6.0L Powerstroke, Caterpillar, Maxxforce etc.
