Would you buy a truck with a MaxxForce engine if.....?

I've been looking at A LOT of new trucks online.
Peterbilts, Kenworths, Freightliners, Western Stars, Volvos, everything.

I still find myself drooling over the extended cab version of the International "8600" Transtar.

There's TONS of threads on this forum (I'm sure on other forums too) saying how bad the MaxxForce engine is. They keep trying to make their advanced EGR system work on the drawing board, but other problems always come up once the engine hits the real world.

My biggest fear with the MaxxForce is the breakdown. Other threads mention weeks and months spent in the shop with typical MaxxForce issues.

Which brings me to the title of this thread...

I could only imagine the anger felt by truck owners when their truck spends weeks and months in the shop (even under warranty) and, like clockwork, the monthly bill for the truck payment shows up in the mail...

Lets say International/Navistar came up with a "Breakdown clause" in the financing contract?

Something that basically said, (If your new MaxxForce equipped International truck spends more than 72 hours in a shop -even under warranty- , that months payment may be deffered until the next month without any additional fees, interest, or penalties.)

Would you then consider International as an option for your next new truck purchase?

 

Very good point. I doubt Navistar would say anything like "We'll pay your mortgage, electric bill, and for your kids braces if your truck breaks down."

But letting the owner skip a payment that month would be a nice jesture and show they really stand behind their product instead of using the customers as a real-world test dummy for their products...

 

Please don't turn this into an International bashing thread.

This is a thread for people who actually like International trucks but can't seem to get over the MaxxForce poblems.

If you're a Die Hard Peterbilt guy, I don't ever see you considering an International regardless of engine issues.

 

Because, I'd like to know if other people would change their mind if International ever created a "breakdown clause" something like I mentioned above.

If you knew me before making such a disrespectful post, you'd know that I'm also considering buying a 95 Freightliner Classic with a 500hp 3406E Cat with ZERO emissions equipment.

I'm no dummy, nor am I new to the trucking industry. I just never purchased my own truck, yet, and I'm looking at all my options..... as any intellegent person does before making such a huge important purchase.
