Unicat Americas International 7400

[haven]

I took these three photos of the Unicat expedition cabin on an International 7400 4x4 chassis at SEMA in 2006.

I think this vehicle is for sale. You can see more photos on the Unicat Americas site, http://www.unicatamericas.com/

Don't forget that your current rig is many peoples dream rig!

I just found my Unicat again :bike_rider:

Do we know (or even dare ask), what kind of fuel mileage that beast gets?

The fine print of the description says 8 mpg at 60 mph. I'd guess, though, that if you can afford the $600K to buy it, you can find the money to fill it. Most of us, though, would find the concept of a $750 fillup a challenge. (And if you had one of those pumps that only does $75 at a time . . . )

You go inside and hand them your credit card and tell them you're going to buy $450 of fuel and you can pump all in one fell swoop...

My Wanderlodge takes 275 gallons of fuel. Got to take out a mortgage to fill it up.

Actually, for the size of that rig, 8MPG sounds pretty reasonable. Of course "reasonable" and "I can afford it" are two completely different concepts. Nice to dream about though...

Too bad its a automatic...I would make them toss in a "straight 10" and then i would be happy...lol

It's not the kind of automatic you may think it is.

I have driven big trucks with auto's before..not a fan of them

 

[charlieaarons]

The truck in question has an Allison 6 spd, I believe a 3000 series
My U500 has an autoshifting manual which is really just an electropneumatically controlled clutch with electropneumatically controlled shifting.
It has also an emergency clutch pedal.
It has manual shifting mode as well.
It is an 8 spd. 9.57-0.736 with 5.77 and 55.8 "transfer" gears as well.

Autos in the big trucks, fuel tankers with autos and buses have worked very well for me. They preform super and will hold hill decents fine along with many advantages over a manual. One thing I like about the autos as you have a little less to mess with when your in a bad spot/bad road or heavy traffic and maneuvering, for me I can focus on driving more and less on clutch and shifting. Logged many miles in behind both types and behind the wheel of a Prevost motor coach/Marathon coach (bus). Its about 50K lbs and the 500 Hp Series 60 along with the 6 sp Allison world trans. Really works great and smooth, just not at all an expo rig, strictly a pavement queen, will get goofy on wet grass if your not careful and have the tag axle down.
