junk VOLVO for life

[pwarren1010]

Of coarse looks isnt everything interesting.Navistar International claims this is their last series of trucks they believe the average owner operator will be able to afford.Amazing theyre honesty.Pricing yourself out of a market share when you havent payed back the money borrowed from Canadian tax payers.I understand they have no recollection of the money either.I dont know what pisses me off more my government for lending them the money or Navistar for the poor quality of the ProStar.

[hottrodscars]

@pwarren1010 - - One would not be able to afford it especially when all those computers and sensors start screwing up.

[7113nana]

nice!!!

[eric12137]

nice truck, boring video

[ramtuff2007]

awesome truck

[12EDN3CK]

God I love that truck!

[AbrahamC92]

@snowman9980 I personally like the older box style models, but these aerodynamic features are way better! Fuel efficiency is a key aspect!!

[patentagosse]

When you make a clip, please make sure there's no fucking noises in the background. When touring on the highway, it was like a mother fucker was sat in the bunk talking his cellphone...

Nice captation (video) BTW

[thunderball2075]

i've seen a couple of these rigs and they are BADASS machines to have in a fleet

[lilcountry2604]

we got about 20 International trucks and perdue feed mill and them things are junk. They stay broke down !!!! The boss of the shop told me that he bet me that i couldn't trade a fleet of International for one freightliner .. They are junk, they way things are now with fuel tires and every thing else a man would go in the hole for sure if he bought an International ... The feed mill is loosing so much money cauce of these trucks they are putting me and all the other drivers on 4 days a week

[rollensomecoal100]

@lilcountry2604 what year of trucks

[lilcountry2604]

@rollensomecoal100 2010

[CrackinVTEC666]

front end looks sorta like a late 40s hot rod

[pilebaina]

santa...

[volvo449]

hayatımın 41 yılını verdim bu işe amerikan çekicileri şöfer için avrupa yolunda yorucu oluyor volvo veya scania`nın sürüş konforunu tercih ederim ben

[Magnumkevlar]

pretty boring inside. cool outide though

[ZR1KingOfTheHillZR1]

1:19, yeah becuase you have a red boat ancor in it

[SKFishAssassin]

Looks like a giant PT Cruiser

[halfalanche]

these trucks might look good...............but they are the biggest piece of shits international has ever made!!!!

[336kgf]

@halfalanche Just out of curiousity, how bad are the Lonestars? Neutral on this subject myself.

[rottenzeidler]

I used to drive a classic, it was great

[snowandskate69]

so the passengers seat does not have a airbag?!

[arturdrozdz297374]

but it only costs 60k to nbuild and you ass holes whant 140k for it you can keep your buill shit truck sell it to swift schnider walmart ect

[paininspain]

@arturdrozdz297374 well would rather pay 140k than buy an overrated small peterbilt n kenworths

[JohnAngelov]

nice truck , but Volvo is the best !

[strumem90]

@JohnAngelov wish they still made the VT880!!!

[TIGERSHARK3060]

looks good to bad every thing international makes is un- reliable junk.

to bad their dealer service departments cant fix repetative problems.

to bad their dealer parts departments drop the ball on orders or send the wrong parts

70% of the time. beware

[anglodale]

Oh yeah , forgot to mention , If you really think driving a stick with a non synchro is better than with a synchro , then you`re pretty dumb , Synchro boxes make driving safer , you can change down without your right foot having to rev the engine , you can keep your right foot on the brake as you shift , allowing much safer downhill driving , mountain driving for example. You say "Standard tranny" , Standard to where ? America ? , Standard in Europe is Synchro , I know which i prefer.

[killer2600]

@anglodale each has it's advantage but you'd wear out a european truck trying to run it in north america.

FTR in america small cars and trucks have synchromesh trannies, the big trucks don't.; Primarily because synchromesh trannies are weaker and with all the miles trucks will see in it's lifetime the synchronizer will wear out and need servicing.

[anglodale]

@killer2600 With all due respect , Bullshit! its true , trucks in the US do rack up high miles , but the majority is spent on the freeway in top gear, when they do come off the freeway its usually close to the delivery point, US cities are designed that way , Commercial zones usually have easy access from a main road. I`ve driven Euro trucks with over 500k miles and they have shown no sign of damage to the synchro , and these trucks spend more time in urban areas going through the "box" .

[killer2600]

@anglodale It's true we have more highway over here but getting to the shipper or receiver isn't always so simple there are places where trucks have to go that aren't truck friendly. But that's beside the point the real point is the land over here isn't all flat; we have hills, mountains, and traffic too. I've not seen much of europes truck traffic but trucks in america are usually 70+ feet long and pull upwards of 80,000. I don't recall seeing many 53' trailers in europe.

[anglodale]

@killer2600 I think its the same the world over that some places to get to arent truck friendly , and trucks in Europe are shorter, a standard semi would be around 60' , but in my humble opinion, and from my experiences on both continents, driving a semi in Europe requires more skill, the road network is derived from Roman roads, and was built for horses and carts! Try driving a 60' combo around London, not for the faint hearted! US drivers have no idea how much space they have.

[anglodale]

Also , weight wise , European trucks carry more weight than US trucks , a standard semi in the US is 80,000 lbs on 5 axles , in most of Europe a 5 axle truck would be 41,000 kilo`s = 90,200 lbs , but the most popular axle arrangement is 3 + 3 , A tri axle trailer being pulled by a 3 axle tractor is becoming the general standard and grosses 44,000 kilo`s = 96,800 lbs. So they do pull a lot of weight , mainly its to compensate for the limits on length, If you cant go longer go heavier !!

[killer2600]

@anglodale Roads are generally accomodating in the US, but as with anywhere it isn't always so. There are places where drivers have to take their truck where trucks don't belong. Weight wise the US does have heavier trucks but general freight is limited to 80,000 lbs, anything higher needs a permit. Also the typical truck is a 20 ft long sleeper berth tractor pulling a 53' trailer, we do have longer setups - two 53' trailers and a tractor is the longest I've seen.

[LonelyJ55]

@anglodale the way i look at it is you either fit or you don't.

[anglodale]

Rabiesthecat , Ever driven a European truck ? And I dont mean a North American made ( badly ) Volvo . If you had you`d soon realise that European trucks beat American trucks hands down for ride comfort , technology , emission controls , MPG , power and driveability , the only thing American trucks have the edge on is the sleeper space and too many amber lights !

[Blk05titan26]

lokks cramped for tall guys

[crackparty]

@Blk05titan26 6'3 and 187 lbs here, it's a tad small in the prostar for me but it's not uncomfortable by any means.

[simpsonteam]

Lonestar Owners!! Come visit: twitter: LonestarOwners

Post your thoughts and experiences!!

[CashDog911]

tis is basically a prostar with a different exterior

[BassmanII]

@CashDog911 If you notice, the basic cab of all current Internationals from DuraStar on up are basically the same.

[crackparty]

@CashDog911 and some interior upgrades. Besides the basics like in this video, you can also get the bed upgraded to a couch, and hardwood floors, etc.

[anglodale]

It can be the baddest looking truck in the world , But , like all American trucks , It STILL DOESNT HAVE SYNCHROMESH TRANSMISSION , when is the US going to catch up with Europe and build trucks with synchromesh ?

[hEvYcHeVy101]

@anglodale yeah the only MAJOR difference is the hood.

[Rabiesthecat]

@anglodale

we don't need a fucking syncromesh tranny, we know how to drive a standard stick.

[faronthefiddler]

vtwinbreed; Thats a big 10-4 on that bucket mouth!

[MoowenMangoLo]

LOL I wanna get one just for the hell of it! ^_^

[kscietrapong]

this steering wheel seems small

[vtwinbreed]

Tell that guy on the phone to SHUT UP

[Techie223]

dpf 's are gay

[mistie017]

en france

[wlad1969]

How much is this truck ?

[lindsman68]

@wlad1969 Prices on these trucks vary. The Harley Davidson Lonestar is approx $150K (CAD) or low 130's (CAD$) for a basic model.

Isso sim é caminhão de verdade! pena que a International não comercializa mais no Brasil.

[WillieWonka928D]

The LoneStar isn't the best looking truck in my opinion (I like the looks of a Mack Granite or Titan the best) but the Lone Stars still look REALLY nice! I'd love to see one as a Tri-Axle with a day cab.

[fivemagiks5]

uh oh somebody's got some peter envy ;-)

[rangerman2237]

ull have to hook a chain to me and yank me outta my pete like a stump b4 i ever even consider getin in another international their a 13 letter shit spreader

[Semitruckman101]

I love International there my favorite but i think this truck is a little ugle.

[dsmith308]

@Semitruckman101 No way!  The Lone Stars are beautiful!

[rangerman2237]

its a nice lookin ride but its hard to go international

[BigRiggerJ]

Nah, my dad business has ran on fords and nats and we decided to goto freightliner one time and we'll never go back. International has the most comfortable and reliable trucks out there ("my opinion" because i've had only good experiences with them)

[vmgr252]

Very nice. I wish I could afford one or the company I work for now would pick up a couple. Nice truck.

[drummerdude667]

I saw one of these going down the freeway. Damn, it's like a Lamborghini of semi's!

Looks very different from all the other trucks out there.

[david00army]

so how much will this cost?

[cr125rguy]

NICE TRUCK!

[biggestMetallicAfan]

The Exterior is the coolest, but damn son the Interior fuckin sweet.

[WillieWonka928D]

@dannyW900 The only thing Volvos are better at is sitting in the shop getting their shitty Volvo Diesel repaired.

[acifu89]

ok ok ok ok ok ok ok...

[spencnaz]

mm hm, right right.

[mw54313]

ok....

[scoobydoo899]

Who said's you have to have the best truck on the market in order to make a buck.

[flyrock45]

No matter what, it's still an international. not the greatest truck on the market.

[8IT4U]

junk

[kdraper2007]

this makes th volvo I used to drive look lke an old cardboard box. plus the exterior looks cool.

[High145]

Americans still dont know how to but the steering wheel that way it would be nice to drive. Look for exaple Scania. I thnki one of the best streering wheel positions.

[tz138]

American trucks generally have tilt and telescopic adjustable steering columns. The wheel position IS adjustable for driver preference. This is one badass truck.

[tz138]

High end american trucks have adjustable steering columns. The truck does not have to be driven with the wheel like shown. This is one badass truck!!

[SirBenjito]

I agree. it´s very comfortable to drive with a Scania. the drivers position is kind of low though.

[lolzza1234]

awesome truck

[bamuchem]

please stop saying okokokkok
