Used 2017 International Trucks For Sale

Used 2017 International trucks cover highway tractors, medium duty van and reefer trucks, and vocational chassis, led by ProStar and early LT Series on highway, DuraStar in medium duty, and WorkStar for severe service. Power is typically the International N13 13 liter or Cummins ISX15, ISL9, and ISB6.7, tuned from 200 to 500 horsepower with torque up to 1850 lb ft. Transmissions include Eaton Fuller 10, 13, and 18 speed manuals, UltraShift automated manuals, and Allison 2000, 3000, and 4000 series automatics. SCR with DEF is standard in 2017, which reduced EGR heat load and improved reliability compared to earlier EGR only systems. Buyers prioritize fuel economy, uptime, and serviceability, with axle ratios, wheelbase, and suspension spec driving how the truck performs on route.

Tare weight varies by configuration, which affects payload and operating cost. A 2017 International tandem axle day cab tractor commonly scales 16,500 to 19,000 pounds depending on fuel tank size, wheelbase, suspension, and wheel material; a 56 to 73 inch sleeper often runs 18,500 to 22,000 pounds. Medium duty 26,000 GVWR DuraStar box trucks with a 24 to 26 foot body typically tare 13,500 to 16,500 pounds; heavier reefer bodies and rail liftgates can add 800 to 1,200 pounds. Weight saving choices include aluminum wheels, single 100 to 120 gallon fuel tanks, 6x2 axles in highway applications, and air disc brakes in place of cast drums. Balance weight reduction with traction, brake performance, and tire life, since lighter components can change ride quality and stopping distances.

Box and reefer buyers should focus on floor strength and thermal integrity, since these drive productivity and cargo claims. Common van body floors use hardwood or laminated oak with 12 inch on center crossmembers; forklift packages tighten spacing to 8 or 4 inches and add wear strips or 1.6 inch plank, yielding typical dynamic forklift ratings around 10,000 to 12,000 pounds. Look for 12 to 24 inch scuff liners or full height liners, aluminum or UHMW wear bands at the rear, and properly recessed E track to protect freight. Refrigerated bodies from Morgan, Great Dane, Utility, or Kidron use foam in place polyurethane walls 2.5 to 4 inches thick with thermal breaks, sealed seams, and high durometer door gaskets; inspect for delamination, moisture intrusion, and floor channel corrosion. Thermal performance also matters in sleepers, where intact insulation, tight door seals, and functioning bunk HVAC or a battery APU reduce idle time and driver fatigue.

Chassis corrosion resistance on 2017 International trucks is aided by e coated steel cabs, 120 ksi frame rails with OEM paint systems, aluminum fuel tanks, and stainless or coated fasteners; real world protection still depends on prior use and wash practices. Inspect frame flanges near suspension hangers, fifth wheel brackets, crossmembers, battery boxes, body subframes, and aluminum steel interfaces for paint loss, pitting, or pack rust. Verify air and electrical routing, sealed connectors, and loom condition, since chafe points lead to intermittent faults. Review aftertreatment health by checking DPF ash load, SCR conversion efficiency, DEF dosing history, and any NOx sensor or doser codes; many fleets target DPF cleaning between 250,000 and 400,000 miles depending on duty cycle. Spec items that add uptime include air disc brakes, hub odometers, block heaters, engine hour meters, and factory telematics for fault code visibility.
