The International CV Series is the first vehicle in its class that has been designed, manufactured, and supported by a company specializing in commercial vehicles. All other class 4/5 trucks are built by car companies, limiting the resources available to support your work, your commercial vehicles, and your ability to grow your business.

International products from Southwest International come with a skill set specializing in commercial vehicles, giving you the support you need for your vehicles and business. By offering a full line of commercial vehicles, ranging from medium-duty to severe service, your business is given room to grow while continuing to use quality International products as your workload grows. Southwest International has highly trained and qualified salesmen ready make your buying process as smooth as possible, while making quality recommendations for your workload.

The International CV Series is a joint development project with Navistar and General Motors, giving you a quality assurance of not only International products but also our partner, General Motors.

Purchasing from Southwest International Trucks allows you to work with a company that specializes in commercial vehicles, opening your business up to the largest dealer network in the country, fitted with over 150 dedicated truck bays, and more than 75 diesel technicians, much more than the typical class 4/5 truck dealer. When getting your vehicle serviced, the typical truck dealership does not have more than one diesel technician on hand to service your vehicle. Southwest International understands that your vehicle is for more than just transportation, and should be serviced as such, something that most Dodge, Ram, and Ford dealerships cannot say.

New customers have the advantage of getting customized engineering that International offers at the corporate level that will fit you and your business.


Specification Offerings -

The International CV Series comes with the best-in-class GVWR. For the 4x2, the range is 16,000 lbs to 22,900 lbs. For the 4x4 model, the range is 17,500 lbs to 22,500 lbs. This truck is powered by a tried and true General Motors 6.6 engine and 6-speed Allison transmission, available in 1000 Series or 2000 Series. The 4x4 model is also gear-driven, rather than chain-driven.

The CV comes with 7 wheelbase configurations for the standard cab and 3 wheelbase options for the crew cab. The CV is built to be up-fitted, proven by the straight frame design with no rivets on top for easy body installation, allowing endless application possibilities. The maximum speed of the CV is programmed into the ECM and cannot be edited, unlike other International models. There are exclusive air ride rear suspension options available, providing a smooth ride and the protection of delicate cargo through transit.

Built with International’s DriverFirst philosophy, you and your drivers are comfortable and well taken care of in the cab of a CV. You can enjoy your favorite music seamlessly with built-in Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, keep your eyes comfortably on the road with easy-to-reach controls, and worry less about your cargo with the Trailer Brake Controller.


Best In Class Differences -

  • The forward-tilting hood really sets this vehicle apart, allowing for easier accessibility and serviceability.
  • The flat frame rails allow for easier body installation, leaving no room for installation error.
  • The DEF filler access point is on the opposite side of the fuel fill, preventing the mistake of filling it with diesel.


Possible applications of the International CV include, but are not limited to:

  • Landscape
  • Plow
  • Ambulance
  • Service
  • Utility
  • Tow
  • Box Truck


The International CV Series is built for people ready to take the next step in their business, expand their capabilities, reach for the next rung, and open their business up to new possibilities. View your future truck from Southwest International here.
