The International Transtar 4070A is a licensed truck in SnowRunner.
Once a bestselling cab-over in the United States, this truck holds up well. Its powerful engine supplies enough torque to transport goods over any road, providing it's paved. Keep it out of the ditch and it'll do its job well everytime.
Unlocking[]

It is found via world exploration on the Smithville Dam in Michigan, Transtar 4070A is located in a swamp in the southeast part of the map and it is granted to the player for free upon reaching it.

Description[]
A highway truck in the truest sense, the Transtar possesses good fuel economy, large tanks, a powerful engine, and impressive top speed. This comes at the cost of having no upgrades to make it suitable for off-road use. The truck appears to be based on an late 60s to early 70s model based on the turn signal placements and the headlight trim design.
The Transtar much like the Ford CLT9000 is extremely good on paved roads but due to the lack of AWD or even a differential lock, it can't be used off-road. Its low hanging bumper gives the vehicle extremely poor clearance in rough terrain and can catch on obstacles like rocks or mud slowing the vehicle down or even damaging it. It also lacks larger tire options which only further weakens this trucks potential.
With proper upgrades the Transtar is capable of reaching speeds around 49 miles per hour making it somewhat average for its size and the slowest in its class. The Transtar has a above average fuel tank capacity of 265L and is very fuel efficient on paved roads making it a good choice for runs on paved roads where mud can be avoided.
Overall the Transtar is king of paved roads, and while not useful beyond, it does incredibly well in its realm.
With the Phase 6 DLC Haul & Hustle the Transtar gained raised suspension and the ability to fit 42' tires which improve its ability to tackle partianly uneven surfaces such as slightly flooded roads, but much like the Ford CLT9000, there's not much purpose to use it beyond that.

- The Transtar is clearly shown to be equipped with an inline 6 cylinder diesel but during engine startup a V8 diesel is shown instead. This trait is shared with the Navistar 5000-MV and Ford CLT9000.
