Keith Browning Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Have you seen this? www.drivecat.com Is this what CAT and Navistar were planning to team up on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Amacker Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Yes, IIRC Nav will build it under contract for Cat and it will be sold and serviced at Cat dealers. It's already being built and sold in Australia. I'm not sure what engine, maybe Nav's MaxxForce 15 which is a Cat C15 remake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 It has a very modern and stout appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieseldoc Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 It is a partnership between Caterpillar and Navistar. It will be branded as cat, and serviced and sold by cat dealers. Production has just started and the dealers here will be seeing them this fall. It will have a "maxepillar" 13 in it. The 15's wont be availaible until next year sometime. They are very very expensive compared to other brands. I am not saying they wont be a good trucks but they need to work on the price point if they plan to be competitive in the market they are looking for. In my opinion anyway. The trucks they are building are geared towards the vocational market, at this point they do not offer a sleeper cab option. If I remember correctly. I am very anxious to see one when they get here. My dealer here has 3 on order for demo use and what not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
