    Everyone I drove hasn't been to bad to get around with either even at 275 wb but everyone I have drove turns tighter to the left then the right.

    Internationals are more narrow and you really noticed a difference in the cab and in the bunk. Just not as much room to move around. Also, whatever you do if you do buy an international do not get an automatic. When backing in they lunge. Badly! You feather the throttle and it’s nothing nothing nothing and then drag race time.

    Thanks to a centrifugal clutch, usually.
    Engages at 900RPM, most of the time.
    The worst PITA in our lifetime.
