International Truck Models
A complete reference guide to every International truck model — from the current LT, HX, MV, and RH through the ProStar, 9400i, DuraStar, and International Harvester classics. Over 100 years of International history. Production dates, specifications, and history for every International truck we buy.
International Trucks has been building commercial vehicles in the United States since 1907 as International Harvester and since 1986 as Navistar International. International is one of the most diverse truck manufacturers in North America — covering Class 4 through Class 8 with medium duty, highway, vocational, and severe duty models. In 2021, International’s parent company Navistar was acquired by Traton Group (owned by Volkswagen), making International a sibling brand to Scania and MAN.
We buy every International truck — from vintage International Harvester models through the current LT, HX, MV, and RH lineup. Any year, any condition, running or not.
Current Class 8 Models
In ProductionInternational’s current heavy duty and severe duty Class 8 lineup for highway, vocational, and extreme applications.
International LT Series
The International LT Series is International’s current long-haul highway tractor, introduced for the 2017 model year as a comprehensive redesign of the ProStar. LT stands for Line-haul Tractor. Features an improved NGV cab with single-piece door windows for better visibility, a low-drag aerodynamic hood, and a completely redesigned interior with improved ergonomics and comfort. Available with the Cummins X15 and International A26 engines. Available in day cab and sleeper configurations. Competes directly with the Freightliner Cascadia, Kenworth T680, and Volvo VNL in the long-haul segment.
International RH Series
The International RH Series replaced the TranStar for the 2017 model year as International’s regional haul tractor. The RH features a 107-inch bumper-to-back-of-cab — one of the shortest in its class — providing exceptional maneuverability for regional and urban operations. A set-back steer axle gives the RH a 50-degree wheel cut for tight turning. Available with Cummins L9 and International A26 engines. Configured for day cab regional operations, local delivery, and pickup and delivery applications. Shares the same improved cab design as the LT Series.
International HX Series
The International HX Series is International’s severe duty vocational truck, introduced for the 2017 model year as the successor to the Paystar (1972–2016) for the most demanding applications. Available in four configurations — HX515 (115-inch BBC set-forward), HX520 (120-inch BBC set-forward), HX615 (115-inch BBC set-back), and HX620 (120-inch BBC set-back). Used in heavy dump, oilfield, logging, mining, and extreme vocational applications. Powered by Cummins X15 and International A26 engines. Competes with the Kenworth T880, Peterbilt 567, and Freightliner 122SD in the severe duty segment.
International HV Series
The International HV Series replaced the WorkStar for the 2017 model year as International’s standard vocational truck. Positioned between the lighter MV Series and the extreme HX Series, the HV covers Class 7 and 8 vocational applications including dump, concrete mixer, construction, and refuse. Available with Cummins B6.7, L9, and International A26 engines. Features the same updated cab interior as the LT and RH with improved ergonomics. Available in set-forward and set-back front axle configurations. The most common International in dump truck and construction applications.
International LoneStar
The International LoneStar was produced from the 2009 model year through 2023, designed and marketed to owner-operators who preferred the traditional long-nose conventional aesthetic over aerodynamic highway tractors. Featured a distinctive chrome-intensive hood and grille combination unlike any other commercial truck. Replaced the 9900i/9900ix in the long-nose owner-operator segment. Available with a 56-inch and 73-inch sleeper. Originally powered by the MaxxForce 13 and later the Cummins ISX15/X15. The LoneStar’s unique styling made it instantly recognizable on American highways. Discontinued after 2023.
Medium Duty — MV, CV & DuraStar
In ProductionInternational’s Class 4–7 medium duty lineup. International has been the dominant medium duty engine supplier in North America for decades. All models purchased.
International MV Series
The International MV Series replaced the DuraStar starting with the 2019 model year as International’s primary Class 6–7 medium duty truck. Available in standard (MV607) and Lo-Profile (MV60H) cab configurations. Powered by the Cummins B6.7 and Cummins L9 diesel engines. Assembled in Springfield, Ohio and San Antonio, Texas. Available in regular cab, extended cab, and crew cab configurations with a wide range of wheelbase options. The eMV battery-electric variant was announced in 2021. Used in box truck, flatbed, dump, utility, and municipal applications throughout North America.
International CV Series
The International CV Series is International’s Class 4–5 medium duty conventional cab truck, introduced alongside the MV Series in 2019 to cover lighter Class 4 and 5 applications. Powered by the Cummins B6.7 diesel. Features a shorter BBC than the MV for improved maneuverability in Class 4–5 delivery, utility, and service body applications. Competes with the Isuzu NPR-HD, Hino 155/195, and Freightliner M2 106 in the Class 4–5 segment. Less common than the MV in the used market but actively purchased in any condition.
International DuraStar (4000 Series)
The International DuraStar was produced from 2001 through 2018 — known as the 4000 Series (4100, 4200, 4300, 4400) prior to the DuraStar branding in 2008. One of the most common medium duty trucks in North American history. The International 4300 in particular became the dominant Class 6 box truck in the country, used by UPS, FedEx, and countless local delivery fleets. Originally produced as part of a Ford/Navistar joint venture (Blue Diamond Truck) providing the basis for the Ford F-650 and F-750. Powered by the International VT365, DT466, MaxxForce 7, and MaxxForce DT engines. Replaced by the MV Series. Extremely common in the used market.
Star Era — ProStar, WorkStar, TranStar
DiscontinuedInternational’s “-Star” branded model family from the 2006–2020 era. Replaced by the current LT, HV, HX, and RH lineup. All purchased.
International ProStar
The International ProStar introduced the “-Star” model naming convention when it launched in 2006, replacing the 9400i as International’s aerodynamic long-haul highway tractor. The ProStar was a purpose-built aerodynamic truck competing with the Freightliner Cascadia and Kenworth T660. Powered by the International MaxxForce 11 and MaxxForce 13 engines — which suffered significant reliability and emissions compliance issues that damaged International’s reputation throughout the ProStar era. The ProStar ES (Enhanced Specs) version added further aerodynamic improvements. Also offered with the Cummins ISX15 as an alternative to the troubled MaxxForce engines. Replaced by the LT Series in 2017.
International WorkStar (7000 Series)
The International WorkStar was produced from 2008 through 2018, replacing the 7000 Series (7300, 7400, 7500, 7600) which had been introduced in 2001. The WorkStar name was adopted in 2010 — earlier examples were still badged as 7000 Series. Available in 4×2, 6×4, 6×6, and 8×6 configurations for dump, mixer, construction, and severe duty applications. Powered by MaxxForce, Cummins, and other engine options depending on year. Replaced by the HV Series in 2017. The 7400 and 7600 are very common in used dump truck and construction markets.
International TranStar (8000 Series)
The International TranStar was produced from 2002 through 2017 as International’s regional haul tractor — introduced as the 8000 Series in 2002 and rebranded TranStar in 2007. Features a short 107-inch BBC for exceptional maneuverability in regional and urban operations. Available with medium duty engine options including the Caterpillar C12, Cummins ISM, and later MaxxForce 11 and 13. No high-horsepower or sleeper models were offered — the TranStar was exclusively a day cab regional truck. Replaced by the RH Series in 2017. Still commonly found in local and regional fleet operations.
9000 Series — 9400i, 9900i & 9900ix
DiscontinuedInternational’s Class 8 highway lineup from 1971 through 2017. The 9400i and 9900i are among the most commonly found used Class 8 trucks in North America. All purchased.
International 9400 / 9400i
The International 9400 debuted in 1990 as International’s first purpose-built aerodynamic long-haul highway truck — a significant departure from the upright conventional designs that had dominated International’s lineup. Renamed the 9400i for the 2000 model year. The 120-inch BBC with a sloped hood gave the 9400i a much more aerodynamic profile than traditional International trucks. Powered by Caterpillar C15, Cummins ISX, and Detroit Series 60 engines on earlier models, later options included MaxxForce 13. The 9400i remained one of the most popular International highway trucks ever produced and is very common in the used market. Discontinued after the 2007 model year, replaced by the ProStar.
International 9900i / 9900ix
The International 9900i was produced from 1999 through 2017 — after a 46-year production run of the overall 9000 Series, making it one of the longest-produced conventional cab families in American truck history. The 9900i (120-inch BBC) and 9900ix (130-inch BBC Eagle edition) were straight-hood conventionals designed to compete with the Kenworth W900 and Peterbilt 379 in the owner-operator long-nose market. Powered by Caterpillar, Cummins, and Detroit engines. The 9900ix Eagle was a premium specification with chrome detailing and upgraded interior. Between 2016 and its discontinuation in 2017, the 9900i evolved into the LoneStar’s predecessor.
International 9200i
The International 9200 was produced from 1994 and renamed the 9200i for the 2000 model year. The 9200i features a 112-inch BBC with a set-back front axle for improved maneuverability — shorter than the 9400i but longer than the TranStar. The set-back axle configuration made it well-suited for regional and line-haul operations where turning radius mattered. Powered by Caterpillar, Cummins, and Detroit engines on earlier models. Discontinued after 2011. Less common than the 9400i in the used market but actively purchased in any condition.
Classic Era — S-Series, Paystar & 9000
ClassicInternational trucks from the International Harvester and early Navistar era. Collector interest is growing. All purchased.
International S-Series
The International S-Series was produced from 1977 through 2001 as International’s primary medium and heavy duty conventional cab truck — one of the most durable and long-lasting truck platforms in North American history. Introduced to replace both the Loadstar and Fleetstar in a single platform, the S-Series used International’s own DT466 diesel engine across medium duty applications and larger diesel options for heavy duty configurations. Known for cab-forward visibility and exceptional durability. The S-1900, S-2200, S-2500 and larger variants covered a wide range of Class 6 through Class 8 applications. Still commonly found in vocational and farm applications.
International Paystar (5000 Series)
The International Paystar was produced from 1972 through 2016 — a 44-year run making it one of the longest-produced severe duty vocational trucks in North American history. Known as the 5000 Series and 5000e, the Paystar was International’s primary severe duty platform for mining, logging, oilfield, and heavy construction applications across three generations. Available in 4×2, 6×4, 6×6, 8×4, and other extreme axle configurations. Powered by Cummins, Caterpillar, and Detroit engines across its production run. Replaced by the HX Series in 2017. Still widely used in construction and vocational applications. Actively purchased in any condition.
International 9000 Series (Classic)
The original International 9000 Series conventional cab trucks spanned from 1971 through 2001 across multiple generations, covering the highway and heavy duty tractor market. Models included the 9300, 9370, 9380, and the original 9400 — all sharing the same conventional cab design that defined International highway trucks for three decades. The 9300 was the straight-hood long-nose conventional. The 9370 and 9380 were aerodynamic conventional variants. Powered by Cummins, Caterpillar, and Detroit diesel engines. These classic Internationals are still found throughout the country in highway and vocational use. Actively purchased in any condition.
International Fleetstar
The International Fleetstar was produced from 1962 through 1977 as International Harvester’s first truck line designed specifically for vocational use. Slotted above the Loadstar and below the Paystar, the Fleetstar served Class 7 and Class 8 vocational markets in construction, dump, and heavy freight applications. Available as both a straight truck and semitractor. Replaced by the S-Series in 1977. Any surviving Fleetstar has collector and historical interest. We purchase all Fleetstar trucks in any condition.
International 9000 COE (Cabover)
The International 9000 COE (cab-over-engine) was produced from 1981 through 1998 in North America as the COE variant of the 9000 Series, replacing the Transtar II COE. Available as the CO9670, 9700, 9800, and 9800i models. Used during the era when overall length restrictions made cabovers advantageous for maximum trailer length. Larger windows and windshield than the previous Transtar II COE. Production continued after 1998 in international markets. Any surviving North American 9000 COE has collector interest. We purchase all examples in any condition.
Vintage International Harvester Trucks
VintagePre-1977 International Harvester trucks from the founding era. Significant collector interest. All purchased.
International R-Series / L-Series
International Harvester’s R-Series ran from 1953 through 1972 covering everything from light-duty pickup trucks through tandem-axle semitractors. The R-Series replaced the L-Series (1940s–1952) and was itself produced in a wide variety of configurations including pickup trucks, panel vans, chassis cabs, conventionals, and cabovers. The R-series introduced four-wheel drive vehicles to the International lineup and expanded the use of diesel engines. Over 136,000 units were built in 1953 alone. The light-duty R-100 through R-130 pickup trucks are collectible. Heavy duty R-Series trucks are historically significant.
International Transtar (Classic)
The original International Transtar series was produced from 1971 through 1980 in both conventional and cabover configurations. The Transtar 4200 and 4300 were International’s heavy-duty Class 8 highway conventionals of the 1970s — used extensively by major carriers throughout the golden era of American trucking. The Transtar COE (Transtar II CO4070) was the primary Class 8 cabover until it was replaced by the 9000 COE in 1981. Classic Transtar trucks have collector interest. We purchase all examples in any condition.
Early International Harvester Trucks
International Harvester began building trucks in 1907 — making it one of the earliest American truck manufacturers. The company’s early Auto Wagon and truck lines were some of the first commercial motor trucks sold in the United States. Through the pre-war and wartime era, International Harvester built trucks for both civilian and military use across the M-Series, KB-Series, and other designations. Any surviving pre-1953 International Harvester truck is of significant historical value. We purchase all early International Harvester trucks in any condition regardless of completeness.
About International Trucks
International Trucks is a division of Navistar International Corporation, headquartered in Lisle, Illinois. The company traces its origins to 1902 when International Harvester was formed through the merger of five farm implement manufacturers. International Harvester began producing trucks in 1907 and became one of the most diversified commercial vehicle manufacturers in North American history — covering everything from light-duty pickup trucks through Class 8 highway tractors and severe duty vocational trucks.
In 1986, International Harvester’s truck division was renamed Navistar International after a financial restructuring. In 2021, Traton Group — owned by Volkswagen — acquired Navistar International, making International a sibling brand to Scania and MAN in the global commercial vehicle market. International Trucks for North America are primarily manufactured at plants in Springfield, Ohio and San Antonio, Texas, with additional production in Escobedo, Mexico.
International Truck Naming History
- 1907–1952 — Early International Harvester trucks used a mix of letter and number designations. The KB-Series, M-Series, L-Series, and R-Series covered light through heavy duty.
- 1953–1977 — R-Series (1953–1972) consolidated IH’s truck lineup from light to heavy. Fleetstar (1962–1977), Paystar (1972–), and Transtar (1971–) added specialized vocational and highway models.
- 1977–2001 — S-Series replaced the Loadstar and Fleetstar as the primary medium-heavy conventional. Became the 4000 Series and 8000 Series. The 9000 Series covered Class 8 highway tractors.
- 2001–2016 — Named model era: DuraStar (medium duty), WorkStar (vocational), TranStar (regional), ProStar (highway), LoneStar (long-nose), and Paystar (severe duty). The “-Star” naming reflected the company’s repositioning.
- 2017–Present — Series letter names: LT (Line-haul Tractor), RH (Regional Haul), HV (Highway Vocational), HX (Heavy eXtreme), MV (Medium Vocational), CV (Commercial Vehicle). LoneStar continued until 2023.
The MaxxForce Engine Problem
International’s reputation suffered significantly during the ProStar era (2006–2016) due to the MaxxForce 11 and MaxxForce 13 diesel engines, which failed to meet EPA 2010 emissions standards reliably. Navistar paid over $1 billion in settlements and warranty claims related to EGR-based emissions control failures in the MaxxForce engines — one of the most significant engine reliability failures in modern commercial truck history. This period drove many fleets away from International trucks and toward Freightliner, Kenworth, and Peterbilt. The situation was corrected when International switched to the Cummins ISX15 and later introduced the proprietary International A26 engine designed to meet EPA 2010 standards from the ground up. The LT Series launched in 2017 with a fresh start and significantly improved reliability reputation.
