MaxForce DT (the newer 466) 2010 to 2014

Expect to wish you had bought something else.

 

We had several Internationals with the MaxForce. They were literally in the shop more than they were on the road. Very poor designed motors. I am not joking when I say I would not take one of those trucks if you gave it too me. We have since started using Freightliner M2's

 

I looked into buying a 2012 International around this time last year through Penske. I didn't know anything about these trucks because I haven't been in the market for the past 15 years. I learned very quickly that International of that era is garbage. I wound up looking at Hino. All the owners and drivers I talk to about them all have positive things to say about them. They seem to have hit there stride around 2008-2009 to present day.

 

Hino parts can be crazy expensive and not readily available. I do see some with happy customers however.

 

My mechanic told me the same thing. The Truck stops out here don't carry the filters either. Fortunately, There are 3 Hino dealers close by,JFK, Central NJ and Philly.
