Navistar has unveiled the International TerraStar Class 4/5 commercial truck. At the heart of the new International TerraStar is its all-new 300 horsepower, 6.4-liter MaxxForce 7 V-8 engine, delivering 660 lb.-ft. torque. This engine features a compacted graphite iron (CGI) block, which offers high strength without added weight. The MaxxForce 7 will be matched with a commercial-duty Allison 1000 transmission to optimize its power output, according to the company.
The truck features MaxxForce Advanced EGR emissions technology. It is built on a commercial-duty platform and features a 107-in. bumper to back-of-cab (BBC) length and a 44-foot curb-to-curb turning radius, the company said.
In addition the new vehicle has a commercial-duty truck cab with 30% more cab interior space than the market leader, allowing plenty of room for three adults to fit comfortably in the front seat, the maker stated. It will also be offered with optional extended cab or crew cab configurations. The TerraStar will initially be available with a 4×2 drivetrain, with a 4×4 drivetrain planned for 2011, the truck maker added.
