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

I'm going to say what @ this point everyone that read this post is thinking..... Op your rite I think you should rush out and buy it before someone scoops it up...

 

Personally no. Depending on what your hauling your reputation can be severely tarnished if you are labeled as not dependable. Even if a company would produce such a contract to defer payment it still wouldn't help unless they would supply a rental truck. However some people can't rent a truck, if your doing something special that requires special equipment there are no rentals for you. I would let the fleets play test trucker, I would buy what seems to work the best for others in the same line of work. As much as I hate the ISX at least if you do get tired of the downtime you can have it fixed once by someone like PDI and eliminate the headaches, with the Maxxforce your screwed.

 

I'd honestly go with a new KW or Pete with the Cummins engine. To the op: The intl is a great truck, but why not a slightly used KW or Pete with the small sleeper??

I respect your opinion. i usually unload next to them at my destinations must say those trucks are very maneuverable. I also wish Intl would move on to DEF as it would save them more headaches than the ones the existing headaches dealers and owners currently have.

Your rite grammar and school was never my strong point that's why im trucking... However I am smart enough to know to run forest run from a Maxxforce... Ill make a deal with you you tech me proper grammer and ill teach you how to be a trucker and spec a reliable horse.... Deal LOL

 

The biggest thing right now for the 2010 maxxforce bigbore's is if you had one of the first releases is to make sure the updates have been done. The updates and the latest software revisions did solve alot of the issues that you guys have heard about. The 2010 has changed alot from the 07 engine. Navistar has been listing and working on fixing the issues on both model year engines. I have currently 200+ 2010 emmission 13 liters running in 3 fleets right now and they have been doing well so far, 7 mpg range, and unit downtime is low after we fixed a lot of the issues. Right now every engine OEM is having their fair share of issues. I work at a dual dealership (peterbilt and international) so I get to see both sides of the spectrum.
