Efficiency is the order of the day. Service fill points can be accessed from the ground. Splash shields tilt with a three-piece hood for easy access and routine maintenance. Mirrors and headlights are designed for tool-less replacement Plus the special three-step paint process creates a handsome finish that resists corrosion, minor scratches and fading. It all adds up to improved serviceability, reduced maintenance costs and increased resale value.

Interior Features:

The International® 8500 short-radius regional haul tractor is a hardworking truck designed for reliability, durability and low cost of operation. But that doesn\'t mean you have to compromise on interior comfort and convenience. Quite the contrary. In fact, drivers are treated to a smooth and quiet ride, excellent visibility and all kinds of room, storage space and other amenities. So you can enjoy higher driver productivity and retention.

	The ergonomic dashboard and wing panel make all switches easy to see and reach.
	One of the industry's most comfortable and spacious cabs – measuring 72.5" (184 cm) wide and 58" (147 cm) floor to ceiling – brings out the best from drivers.
	Standard air-ride cab suspension provides an incomparably smooth ride.
	The large curved windshield and sloped hood create a commanding view of the road with outstanding peripheral vision.
	The overhead storage area features dual storage pockets with retainer nets and a CB radio pocket.
	The cab is ergonomically designed for driver comfort and productivity. More shoulder room, headroom and belly room, standard high-back seats with integrated headrests, easy-to-read gauges and easy-to-use controls.
	The best-in-class HVAC system increases air-conditioning, heating and defrosting flow.
	Improved insulation and seals make the cab more thermally efficient and quiet.
	The 26" (66 cm) extended cab with available lift-up bunk provides the comfort of a full-size sleeper.
	Two interior trim levels: Deluxe: Easy-to-clean molded-plastic interior surfaces, 1,481 cu in (24,269 cu cm) of storage space, including two large overhead bins, CB storage overhead, center instrument panel bin, driver storage/map pocket and coat hook. Premium: Everything in Deluxe plus an additional 222 cu in (3,638 cu cm) of storage, compass, outside temperature display, auxiliary visor, door panels with cloth inserts, two additional speakers and individual map lights.

Exterior Features:

Even a passing glance at the International® 8500 – and you know you\'re in for a whole new level of performance and value. From the sleek profile and aerodynamic lines that bring added fuel efficiency to the frame-rail system that can handle bigger payloads, everything about these trucks is meant to meet the needs of owner, driver and maintainer.

	Driver delights 40" (102 cm) set-back axle and wheel cut up to 50° deliver outstanding maneuverability and weight distribution.
	Boldly styled sloped hood offers impressive forward visibility. The 2,038-sq-in (13,149 cu cm) windshield offers a commanding view of the road with outstanding peripheral vision.
	Standard cab air suspension extends cab life and minimizes cab vibration for a smoother ride.
	High-pressure power steering pump reduces driver fatigue during tight maneuvers.
	Lightweight parabolic taperleaf front springs deliver improved ride and handling.
	Slip-resistant offset steps and grab handles provide easy three-point entry/egress.
	Frame-mounted vertical muffler reduces interior noise and increases cab structural integrity.
	The chrome grille instills driver pride and projects a positive image of your company.
	The fully programmable International® Diamond Logic™ Electrical System allows for automation of headlights, suspension dump valve, air slide fifth wheels, power door locks and more.
	Maintainer advantages Splash shields tilt with the hood to provide easy under-hood access and routine maintenance checks. Service fill points are accessed from ground level.
	Three-piece hood design allows individual sections to be removed and replaced, making repairs $700- $3,000 less than competitive hoods.
	Aerodynamic composite headlight cover protects standard halogen headlights from stone damage. No tools are required to replace bulbs.
	Rubber front spring pin bushings are maintenance-free.
	Color-coded, continually numbered air lines ensure quicker troubleshooting and repairs. Smart frame routing and clipping reduce chaffing of air lines and electrical harnesses.
	A self-diagnostic protection system shuts down the A/C compressor in the event of a refrigerant leak to prevent further damage – a potential repair savings up to $250.
	Easy access to major components and quick daily level checks ensure maximum uptime.
	The chrome grille can be replaced independently in less than 15 minutes.
	The International Diamond Logic Electrical System with low-current components extends life expectancy of cab switches. Self-diagnostics and a 40% reduction in wiring simplify troubleshooting and get you back on the road an average of 20% faster, saving as much as $500 over the life of your truck.
	Owner appeal The 120,000-psi (827,400 kPa) 10 1/8" x 5/16" (25.7 cm x .8 cm) frame rail is stronger than most competitive frames of equal size – without reinforcements or inserts. The bottom line: bigger payloads and a more durable frame system.
	Standard Huck-bolted frame fasteners provide 50-60 times greater clamping load than threaded fasteners, eliminating the need to retorque frame bolts.
	Steel D-shaped 50- or 70-gallon fuel tanks won't roll in cradle.
	Powder-coat paint resists chips and scratches. Standard on bumper, mirror arms/housings, fuel tanks, steps and air tanks; optional on wheels.
	One-piece aerodynamic bumper protects fenders from minor impact without added weight and repair costs associated with multipiece designs.
	The sloped hood reduces aerodynamic drag for maximum fuel economy. Swept-back angle and curved design of the windshield help deflect road debris and minimize glass damage.
	Three-step E-Coat prime/base coat/urethane clear coat paint process for the cab and hood resists corrosion, minor scratches and fading. Backed by a five-year limited cab warranty.
	Breakaway mirror design withstands up to a 9-mph impact, reducing progressive door damage by as much as $900-$1,200. (Optional chrome mirrors shown.)
	The 26" (66 cm) extended-cab option can be spec'd with an available bunk to extend routes and raise driver productivity.
