    Thinking about getting an international. Coming off a Freightliner and don't know much about the International. Anyone have any feedback on then?
    Reliability, fuel economy, power. Stuff like that. I know I don't like the seat as well as the Freightliner. But there are things I do like better about it. Can put a dorm fridge in it. Can control the radio from the sleeper.
    Thanks in advance.

    Stay away from the maxforce engine, they pull good but are not very reliable. I have had two company prostar with the maxforce, I bought a prostar with a Cummins, pulls good, decent mileage, better mileage compared to similar drive train pete and kws. Great turning radius and a far better sleeper

    Hi there Poacher hope you good with wrenches you will need them . I bought one also coming from Pete because Gov't Regulation needed newer truck ,they look half decent not bad inside good visibility .Like heavyhaulerss said you will need Rawze video help on this. terrible on air leaks with push fitting & electrical .
    search youtube with Prostar reviews you will get the picture & window leaks where you will be sitting playing with radio controls. cheap radio , reception is bad I threw mine out couldn,t get any local channels on mine then sleeper controls will be no good, good luck
