When your transportation business depends on reliable commercial vehicles, selecting the right truck is crucial. The new International MV series offers an ideal blend of durability and efficiency tailored for diverse business needs. However, with so many configurations and features, how do you choose the right model? Here's a guide to help you make an informed decision.

Understand Your Needs

Before diving into specs, you’ll want to identify your primary use case:

  • Delivery: Opt for the Cummins® B6.7 engine, known for fuel efficiency and reliability in urban settings.
  • Towing or Regional Hauling: Choose the Cummins L9 engine, offering up to 1,150 lb-ft of torque.
  • Construction/Utility: Consider the 6x4 axle configuration for better load distribution and traction.
  • Snow Plow or Harsh Environments: Look for corrosion-resistant features like InterCoat® ChemGuard and optional spray-on floor liners.

Choose the Right Cab Configuration

The new International MV series trucks are available in three cab styles:

  • Day Cab: Ideal for short hauls and single-driver operations.
  • Extended Cab: Adds space for tools or occasional passengers.
  • Crew Cab: Best for teams, with seating for up to six.

Each cab is designed with DriverFirst ergonomics, including wide-opening doors, intuitive controls, and premium seating for reduced fatigue.

Prioritize Safety and Visibility

Safety is non-negotiable in commercial operations. The MV Series includes:

  • Bendix® Fusion Collision Mitigation: Adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and emergency braking.
  • Bendix® BlindSpotter®: Detects objects in blind zones up to 10 feet to the right and 12 feet fore/aft.
  • Premium Gauge Cluster: Customizable digital display for real-time alerts and diagnostics.
  • Improved visibility through sloped hoods, halogen or LED headlights, and repositioned mirrors enhances driver awareness.

Explore Upfit and Integration Options

One of the International MV series trucks’ biggest strengths is its Diamond Logic® electrical system, which simplifies body integration and automates tasks like:

  • PTO and equipment interlocks
  • Theft deterrent systems
  • Load shedding and diagnostics

Whether you're adding a dump body, tow rig, or utility box, the MV Series supports plug-and-play components and clean cab-to-axle configurations for seamless upfitting.

Buying the right International MV series truck is about aligning features with your business goals. From engine performance to safety tech and upfit flexibility, this truck offers a customizable platform that grows with your needs.
