Popular Post BAD DOG Posted December 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2018 A little I’ve a month ago I moved into this 2016 Pinnacle . I love it ! Next best thing to my Superliner . It came up for grabs the beginning of last month at work when the guy that drove it and abused it for the last year wanted out of it because he wanted the 2006 International instead ? Go figure The guy ain’t right . So I went in the office and asked the boss if I could have it surprisingly he said yes ! I’m getting it cleaned up a little more all the time . I love the truck I pull s great not as good as my E9 I have at home but I’m still very pleased with its performance as I’m grossed out T between 115, to 132,000 lbs all the time . It does an excellent job . 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Good to finally hear a good review of a new truck. Any emissions system issues? They are a good looking truck. Do you run stateside too? Looks like you have more than 5 axles and a tighter spread on your live bottom. Or is it just the camera angle? I guess I ain't right either because I wish I had my 2005 Cat powered International back, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff M Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 It's breath of fresh air to hear someone get excited about something besides a Paccar, which to me are like Harleys....same ol', same ol', no matter how much they're gussied up. That is a great looking bulldog, and the 18 speed is an added plus. As a company driver, you gotta love it when something like that happens. I know just exactly how you feel. Enjoy!!!

It’s set at 65 mph from the factory. Most all the alerts can be turned off from the menu on the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It locked the brakes up twice on me when a car turned onto a side road ahead of me. Would have been nice if the road was icy. I prefer to drive the truck not the truck driving me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that lane departure and adaptive cruise stuff. It's like they just took it off a Ford Focus and installed it in a heavy duty truck. Some companies are getting it because of the discounts for insurance. Needs more research and development if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs more research and development if you ask me.Some of the technology is helpful but there is a lot that is just plain distracting. The blind spot radar that illuminates a light in the mirror is helpful than The passenger side cameras because the cameras suck at night and in the rain The backup cameras are helpful but the rear beepers are just plain annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullheaded Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I like the previous version better. Don't like that new dog bone grill and that high rise sleeper looks odd. I guess no more side stacks? Guess they don't want to leave us one classic look truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see lots of Pinnacle setbacks with them too. https://www.nortrux.com/index.php?area_id=1001&page_id=1098&page_element_id=68&item_id=558&LIMIT68=20#element68 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
