Photographed by our spies during testing in the US recently was Navistar's new medium-duty truck, co-developed with General Motors. The new vehicle is part of a 2015 deal with Navistar and GM to make a new Class 4-5 truck platform model that will replace the International TerraStar and, by default, the old Topkick model from GMC. Based on the Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD chassis, it gets eight-stud wheels, siesel power, unique International styling, and a fiberglass bonnet shell.
A petrol V8 sourced from GM is also expected to be offered. Sources say to expect the truck to debut in March 2018 at the Work Truck Show in Indianapolis. Given the time that it took for International’s larger trucks to hit our market, don’t expect here anytime soon.
