Sell me on MAXXFORCE

No matter how many(if any) positive Maxforce reviews you may find,just looking at the negatives and what International claims in chargebacks per quarter solely on those engines, ought to send anyone running from any minute consideration of buying a Maxforce. The negatives FAR outweigh ANY positive.

 

I drive a smaller maxxforce and i hate it. It has had a cel for about 12k miles and has 13k right now. They take it too shop and they say its fixed 2 days later codes are back up. Dpf goes from being good to stage 2 needs parked regen immediately while cruising down the high way. It is absolutely gutless.

 

i got one in my company truck and it sucks it wont take a hill at all and its the bigest one they have

 

I don't believe anything International says about any of their products and their design and build quality is pathetic.
One Thirteenletterchitspreader was enough for me.

 

Just what fishhook said - International themselves have discontinued production because the money they are going to spend in the units they have already sold would bankrupt them. What do you think this is going to do to the price of ANY international? You might want to avoid the brand all together. You will be better off with a cummins or a detroit. At least with a cummins you know your problems, if you have them, will be EGR valve or turbo. Which I have heard are more reliable now than the previous isx. Have also heard cummins has pretty good customer service and warranty claims. If (when) I buy a new truck it will have a cummins in it.

 

Trust me I've been trucking for 20 years maxxforce engines suck isx cummins is the only new motor worth considering maxxforce has no b****!

 

Listen to these guys!!!
A Maxforce would put an owner operator out of business.
A local company has several of them and Maxforce is an embarassment. Exhaust brake holds back nothing. They pull like crap. They are in the shop half of the time, waiting 3 weeks for parts. When they are actually in the yard ready to go, no one wants to drive them. The drivers take the other brand trucks first and only when no others are left will they take the IH's.
Could keep going but hopefully you understand...

 

I guess you can judge whether this is negative. I was just talking to my local Int dealer. They say the Maxx force is discontinued in the future and the Cummins motors are, as far as egr and emissions, way out in front of the rest. Cummins is decreasing the use percentage for the egr and hope to have it gone in the next few years. As far as Maxx force goes, if they are discontinuing it as a manufacturer then it prob isn't a good investment.
