According to a story on eTrucker, the International ProStar truck features a computerized dashboard, a steering wheel full of buttons, computer sensors, sleek styling, and a "grinning" front chrome grill.
A smiling truck?
A truck can smile all it wants, but the only smile that counts with trucks is the one on a driver's face. The International ProStar appears designed to do that.
Inside the ProStar is a new high-tech dashboard and a steering wheel with enough buttons to rival a new playstation.
Before you get spooked by a truck with lots of gizmos, according to the story it is user friendly and lets the driver not only monitor fuel and mileage, but geo-positioning, and easy to read details about truck functions. The dashboard can even expand to use side and rear view video cameras as future add-ons.
High-tech capabilites aside, the Pro-Star's power, comfort, and handling appear to be the strongest features.
eTrucker writer Andy Haraldson praises the ProStar after a drive by saying "It felt futuristic: Han Solo, freight hauler, and I'd been in the truck less than an hour. If this is the future, bring it on."
