Hello guys....!
I am thinking of buying an 1998 international 4700 DT466e. I will be using it to haul 4 wheelers and a suburban 4x4 on the bed and pull my 6k camper behind it. Kind of like a toy hauler just a little different angle Plus I will be using around town to move heavier stuff like backhoes when the need arises. My question is about the power. IT is 195hp and is an automatic. I would like to be closer to 300hp for the long hills around here and just all around easier hauling. Will the tranny hold up or should I try to find a manual trans, I have driven many with manuals but never an auto. What will i need to due to up the power and how much can I safely get out of it? Any help is appreciated. Suggestions on comparable trucks that may be better is also appreciated.Thanks in advance.!
