I'd prefer the International LT. I hear Volvos have finicky electronics that cause more downtime and headache than they're worth. The International isn't luxurious by any stretch even compared to a Cascadia. However, the new S13 powertrain looks promising. The engine does away with EGR entirely, has a simpler, more reliable fixed vane turbo, and the visibility from the driver seat is second to none. Plus the sleeper is metal, so the truck doesn't sway as much in high winds
I drove International Prostar, International LT, Freightliner Cascadia, Volvo 670 and Volvo 760. So based on my personal experience. They all tend to have emission issues. But all in all, Volvo trucks are the most reliable in engine and transmission. I'm currently driving Volvo 760 and absolutely loving the steering adjustment features.
I have driven them all an is currently in a peterbuilt. The International get the best fuel economy and that is very Important with today's fuel prices.
Well, I will admit the volvo is a very comfortable truck with a nice large sleeper. So at least you'll be comfortable while you wait for the wrecker to come pick you cause your truck broke down 😅. There's a reason why used volvos are not sought after as much once they hit 200k miles. I'm just saying.
I've driven Volvo. Never again. Not enough leg room for a tall guy. Plus I had endless emission issues. I went back to Peterbilt and won't be changing again.
When advertising a semi truck we all know the horsepower . What needs to be showcased is the torque rating . A much more important spec to a highway truck !!
Volvo has its D11 (10.8L), D13 (12.8L) Engines; the D13 Turbo Compound comes standard with the I-Shift Transmission. The Cummins X15 has to be special ordered. Volvo used to offer its D16 (16.1L) Engine, but Volvo seemed not to apply its attention to detail to their D16 here in North America, in other parts of the world the D16 is a big Seller. Volvos D16 outclasses the X15.
The D13 here in Europe in the major seller coupled with the tremendous iShift transmission. I know of no trucker who operates them that doesn't like them. Reliable, quiet, comfortable with plenty of power on tap for operating at 44 tonnes here in Europe.
It doesn't matter what engine, as long as the EPA bullshit is taken out. Jake brakes standard from factory. Another thing about Volvo for CA, OR, WA, and NV is any TEC Equipment can service your Volvo.
I've always been an old school team member, I used to not like the new semi-trailer trucks because of how modern and not noisy they looked compared to the ones where you could hear the engine brake up to 3 kilometers or more away, but my way of thinking changed a bit when I had the opportunity to board as a co-pilot in a 2022 International LT model last year, if I'm not mistaken the engine it used was a S13 Navistar, and it blew my mind even when I heard the engine brake, and the engine itself, passive-aggressive, nice and I come back with the engine brake, very rough, that trailer left me speechless, on top of that the trunk is very nice, it is comfortable to ride, and it has a resistance to drive on the road that is crazy. I have not driven in Volvos, according to my trucker friend, Internationals and Volvos are the same, but what I am very sure of is that, if before I only liked the old trucks, now I like the new ones equally. I would go for the International LT model which is a good replacement for the ProStar, but what a good semi truck.
I’m currently in a Pete but I’d go international all day, one because it’s easier to get it serviced, two because their better on fuel and that’s the most important thing other than safety, but I also like the look better
I don't know about anyone else but this video seems a bit harsh on the LT , its actually very elegant looking with the large grill. Its definitely not boring...seems a bit bias towards Volvo honestly
Not if you pay for the fuel!😁In Europe they're dragging their as*es with 85-90 km/hr or 50-55 mph,so those trucks are geared totally different than US trucks.😁
I don't know why the US Volvo's get such as bad reputation, the cabovers sold in the rest of the world are very reliable, operate at much higher weights than US stuff and have a premium reputation. Is it just the American made stuff that is considered bad?
Personally I wouldn't go with either. The reason way too many break-downs they tend to be electrical nightmares. Not to mention Volvos tend to take longer to get fixed and also cost more for parts and labor. Something to think about. However if you must have one of those trucks mentioned here. Get the Cummins engine with a Eaton transmission. Trust me you'll thank yourself later.
If you want to go broke on repairs pick Volvo yes it is a nicer truck but for me I would go international more owner operator friendly cheaper to maintain lower cost on parts and you can fix it anywhere the Volvo you have to go to the dealer for everything and maintenance way more expensive.
The main reason why is Navistar has lost its reputation of a good truck because of the maxxforce engine ever since then they’ve been switching their main engine from Maxxforce to N13(“fixed” maxxforce) to Man Engine to Now Scania engine. But a Cummins engine was always the best choice.
@@derikistheman8698 Cummins can be just as bad as a maxxforce. It all just depends on how it was out together. I know early X15’s split in half when they first came out.
@curtisnoble. You clearly know nothing about engines. Lol. The Cummings isx is far more reliable than the maxforce and Volvo engine on any day. It looks like you just started driving yesterday based on your pictures. Volvo breaks down a lot and not everyone can fix them.
@@tonygarrett9115 lol all emissions motors old the same standard of level of Shit. Some just last a lot longer than most. There’s 3 motors that dominate the market currently. Cummins Detroit and Volvo. There’s Not many places that’ll work on international motors. But there’s an absolute Fuck ton that’ll work on those 3 motors.
As long as your international has a Cummings isx you're good to go! I'd stay away from the Volvo all day! Unless you like going bankrupt fixing monthly issues. The Volvo is for you all day.

For me personally, i would choose international. Nothing against the volvo just my preference.

I love international it's so stable when it to come to wind and turn
International LT all day
Two throw away trucks that come from the factory with flip-flops. Next
A bit harsh on the LT, but I’m still team LT no matter what lol.
I have driven them all an is currently in a peterbuilt. The International get the best fuel economy and that is very Important with today's fuel prices.
Absolutely Volvo, if you drive a volvo truck, you will never think about another truck

That's BS!!! A Volvo truck is just another truck. There's nothing special about them
Driving a volvo is awesome. Best truck to drive. Like riding on a cloud. Sweet ride. But owning a Volvo and paying the maintenance bills? Hell no.
International better
Drivetrain is what matters most in both. Cummins all the way…

I’m late, BUT I’ve BEEN waiting for this upload!! Thanks!!
No problem 👍

I like two of them
Imagine a 750HP Volvo motor in ATS 😄 it'll became most powerful truck the game, without any mods obviously.
The prefect engine to run at 100mph or higher speeds
@@piratecraft2528 nope, to haul heavy stuff uphill.
Lol, i found this channel because of ATS. Hope you're having fun fellow ATS player
Bad fuel economy for long haul.

There was a lot of problems with the Volvo engines from 2011-12 to roughly 17-18. And the D13 and 16 had a lot issues with emissions mainly.
The D13 here in Europe in the major seller coupled with the tremendous iShift transmission. I know of no trucker who operates them that doesn't like them. Reliable, quiet, comfortable with plenty of power on tap for operating at 44 tonnes here in Europe.
BTW, Volvo were the first to use Synchromesh on gearboxes in Trucks.
Cummins 💪
LT cab is straight metal,fuel economy is top dollar,electronics fail less,engine and transmission way better.

Please make a video about why japanese trucks sleepers are so smaller unlike in European truck sleepers

Volvo
Compare best truck HD
I don't know about anyone else but this video seems a bit harsh on the LT , its actually very elegant looking with the large grill. Its definitely not boring...seems a bit bias towards Volvo honestly
Well thanks for sharing but thats our opinion 😅👍
Facts! The channel is from across the pond. So you know they’re a little biased lol
It kind of explains why in Europe Volvo have become more well liked than Scania; VW own Scania and it seems lately like all they touch goes downhill.
Vw is cost cutting any where they can to recoup from dieselgate
VOLVO
Would be better if International took that S13 and made a S16 engine... I wonder what engine that would have been...
👍
Or put the Scania 770hp V8 into it!
V8 would be tough to squeeze in. Not much space.
@WayneKerr69420 Psst. PSST. The S13 is Scanias straight 6 "Super" drivetrain. The V8 is a 16 liter engine.
Not if you pay for the fuel!😁In Europe they're dragging their as*es with 85-90 km/hr or 50-55 mph,so those trucks are geared totally different than US trucks.😁
Volvo because I’m driving for my self but international if I had a fleet.

Our trucking company run international bought some Volvos nobody liked them so they Stayed with International

same piece of trash.
Volvo bought mack

@@randylahey5005 Bought Mack back in 2001

This is true
You know it's crazy somebody's trying to sell a Volvo it's a 2008 Volvo vnl 860 with the D13
These manufacturers are not competing for a better driving machine . Instead they are copying each other
International with the Scania s13 and t14
International use to be an amazing manufacturer But fell hard and can’t recover
All of the "advantages" of the Vulva are things nobody wants. We JUST want old trucks.
there is a DAF crash test video
VNL = Volvo Normal Long ….🧐

I got an international ProStar with a maxxforce engine but the EGR and a DPF is deleted I don't have no troubles with that truck what's so ever
