The International DuraStar, originally introduced as the International 4000 Series, is a medium-duty truck produced by Navistar International. First produced in 2002, it is the successor to the 4000 Series of the 1990s.

It is available in three variants, which are built on the same chassis. They differ in engines, drivetrains, brakes, and cargo capacity. It is a popular commercial platform used in a wide variety of applications, such as emergency services, towing, flatbed truck and as a cargo box truck.

This is the Swifty's Garage promo version of the Greenlight International Durastar tow truck. Greenlight did a great job with the model, but the promo version takes it up a notch with a realistic looking tow company livery. If you haven't picked one up yet, it's well worth getting.

Variants of the Durastar are commonly used as a platform for both school buses and commercial buses. The DuraStar cab is much higher off the frame than the 4400 series cab to accommodate larger radiator and engine combinations and is branded DuraStar on the doors, where the 4400 / 4300 series is marked as the 4400 or 4300, respectively. The WorkStar and DuraStar share a very similar layout, although the WorkStar is strictly a Vocational chassis. The WorkStar and DuraStar are in the class 5 / 6 (4300 / 4400) and Heavy 7 / Baby 8 (7600 series) categories from yesteryear. Although this designation is no longer used in the truck manufacturing business. The 4400 designation is still used on the 2014 class 5 / 6 trucks. The 4400 is available with the Cummins ISB6.7 and Maxxforce 7 and the Maxxforce9 is available. The WorkStar is available with the DT466 through Maxxforce 13.

Sir Crafty, I have the exact same feeling.
What an absolute wonderful piece of diecast to have in one's collection.
I am so happy that I was able to obtain this one for my personal collection.

To 250 TR, a huge thank you is merited for the beautiful pictures that you have presented for our viewing pleasure.
Outstanding images of an outstanding little diecast truck.

To Sean, thanks for having them made.
And to Andy, thanks for the work that you have put into this project.

And to anyone that doesn't have one, buy one or more to help support Swifty's Garage.
These little tow trucks are a fantastic item to hold in your hand for an up close and personal view.
You will not be disappointed.

Cheers. Cobra
