TN & GA DOT Bring Their Big Rigs To Safety Event

Tennessee and Georgia cops bring their marked patrol big rigs to safety event
Looks like Georgia upgraded to the new T-680!

 

I'm glad all that ticket revenue bought them
a new truck they don't need.

 

Are they new ? Looks like non def trucks maybe . Cant have a regen in high speed pursuit .

 

The T-680? Yes,and it’s a DEF truck. I drive one!
That Tennessee Highway Patrol International is definitely a DEF truck (hopefully that isn’t used in pursuits,or the state got a substantial warranty).

 

that peterbilt aint , is it ?

 

Could be. At least with the International TN Highway Patrol was smart and got one with a Cummins and not with a either Maxxforce or the A26 engine.

 

ive heard about the maxxfarce engines sucking but dont know enuff about the A26 , altho i do knot John Deere put the man varient in some tractors , prob for european mkt.

 

@Crude Truckin' mentioned that some of the International LT trucks in their fleet had engines that committed seppuku due to the wrist pins being defective.

 

Most likely acquired via civil forfeiture.
