Red Horse Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Wow-looks like the 4400-7400 cab on a custom chassis. I would think this says a lot about the capability of that cab or they have beefed it up to handle that chassis. Either way says good things about the cab-or am I dreaming?

Bob, the chassis is indeed custom. Note the independent suspension front and rear by Hendrickson with AxleTech axles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel2 Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Navistar Defense Lands $18.8M Contract for Medium Tactical Vehicles Heavy Duty Trucking / June 13, 2017 The U.S. Army recently awarded Navistar Defense an $18.8 million foreign military sales contract to provide 115 International 7000-MV Medium Tactical Vehicles to Iraq. Navistar Defense MTVs are based on the multipurpose International WorkStar severe-duty platform designed for both on- and off-road operation.

The equipment will be used by Iraqi security forces in the Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Defense. Navistar Defense’s dealer in Iraq, Hama, provides parts and service support for Navistar vehicles in the region. The vehicles will be built at Navistar Defense’s West Point, Mississippi, assembly plant and delivery is expected to be completed in January 2018.

DailyDiesel Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 So what do we know about this Maxxforce 7.6D diesel engine? I assume it is emissions free? Quote www.dailydieseldose.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the 7.6-litre MaxxForce DT, a massive evolution forward of the venerable DT466, is only still available for export and military applications and has been rebadged as MaxxForce 7.6D. In civilian use, it was replaced last year by the popular Cummins ISB. https://www.navistardefense.com/NavistarDefense/mobile/engines/maxxforce76d https://www.navistardefense.com/NavistarDefense/mobile/engines/ (Some of these engines are produced by Navistar's Brazilian MWM engine unit..........http://www.mwm.com.br/site.aspx/Home-En) https://www.internationaltrucks.com/engines (The N9 is based on the DT570 architecture, and the N10 is based in the HT570) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS7 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I think we could send them 115 used M923 for a lot less. Better yet did I not just read that Navistar has a lot used trucks they cannot sell, send them over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as the US taxpayer isn't paying for it. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
