I realized the other day I hardly see new Internationals any more.
Of course their big trucks are so ugly no one would ever buy one.
But their mediums used to be the mainstay of fleets like propane and dump. Now you hardly see one any more.
Consequence of their terrible EGR/non-urea gamble?
The ones I do see are fire trucks and city fleets. Probably spec'ed by people who don't know any better I guess....
The county bus fleet has some smaller chassis I have never seen elsewhere. They have engines that have such a loud knock/rattle to them it makes an old 5.9 or 8.3 Cummins sound quiet by comparison.
I'd be interested in market share reports to see if it is like this elsewhere. Seeing lots of new little Peterbilts in this medium duty role now.
