International TerraStar 4x4 Work Truck

At the National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA) Work Truck Show, Navistar unveiled the International® TerraStar™ 4x4 commercial truck.

Launched last year with a 4x2 powertrain standard, the International TerraStar took the industry by storm in 2010, giving work truck buyers an exciting new product with a wide range of commercial duty features. Now, with a 4x4 option, the TerraStar is poised to win over an even broader range of customers with more severe demands.

The TerraStar 4x4 variant will deliver additional commercial duty capability for a wide range of customer needs, including construction, utility, landscape, and other off-highway applications.

Since its introduction in March 2010 and production launch in October 2010, the International TerraStar has generated significant interest from work truck buyers. To date, the company has received more than 2,000 orders.

At the heart of the new International TerraStar is its 300 hp, 6.4 l MaxxForce 7 V-8 engine, delivering 660 lb ft torque. The engine is matched with a commercial-duty Allison Optimized™ 1000 Series transmission

While built on a strong and durable commercial-duty platform, the TerraStar is also easy to operate. The TerraStar features best-in-class visibility and interior space. And, with an industry-best 272 cm BBC (107”) length, it offers outstanding maneuverability in even the tightest work environments. The TerraStar is also available with optional extended cab or crew cab configurations.

The TerraStar also delivers unmatched serviceability with a commercial style tilt-away hood that offers unobstructed access to the engine compartment, making routine and scheduled maintenance quick and easy.
