Navistar Press Release:
Navistar, Inc. turned up the volume yet again at this year’s Mid-America Trucking Show, leaving nothing behind with the debut of the International LoneStar Harley-Davidson™ Special Edition.
With deep black paint and contrasting silver and orange striping, the attention-grabbing, chrome-laden big rig truck is one-of-a-kind. Designed in collaboration with the legendary motorcycle
manufacturer, the International LoneStar Harley-Davidson Special Edition leaves no doubt as to its DNA.
“The Harley-Davidson Special Edition takes LoneStar to the next level,” said Dee Kapur, president, Navistar Truck Group. “It’s the perfect combination of LoneStar originality and Harley-Davidson authenticity.”
The International LoneStar Harley-Davidson Special Edition is authentic all the way down to its design elements. The headlights are actual authentic headlamps from Harley-Davidson
motorcycles and the leather seats feature the same Harley-Davidson Bar and Shield that appear on Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
“When the opportunity to work together first came about, we were intrigued about designing a long-haul truck that had the sleek forms and unique shapes that are unique to Harley-Davidson motorcycles,” said Ron Hutchinson, senior vice president of Product Development for Harley-Davidson Motor Company. “The collaboration produced a truck that has the innovation of Navistar with the
heart and soul of Harley-Davidson. This truck oozes the freedom and spirit of the open road.”
“Collaborating with Harley-Davidson has been a great experience from the beginning,” added Kapur. “Our customers are passionate about both brands. Combining the bold look of the International LoneStar with the uniqueness of Harley-Davidson delivers a winning product for customers.”
The International LoneStar Harley-Davidson Special Edition embraces life on the open road with a unique combination of style, comfort and profitability.

Inside, the LoneStar Harley-Davidson Special Edition lets drivers feel like they own the road, with a comfortable and uniquely styled work environment that easily converts to an innovative living space. The LoneStar interior is known for being more than a cab — it’s a suite. And, now it adds the unique Harley-Davidson look and feel. It features rich leather upholstery, turned aluminum gauge faces, dark rosewood cabinets and a dark walnut floor. Yet, it still has all the comforts of home with a sleeper that works like an office and a pull-down mattress that easily converts the sofa into a 42”-wide bunk. Built for a select few, it even includes a limited production number plate on the shifter.
