A distinct CNG package
The CNG sheet specifies ISL G power and Allison 3000 HS. Its figures must not be applied to a diesel tractor.

01 / FIND YOUR REFERENCE
Choose a reference edition
Start with the model configuration, then choose a publication and explore its documented equipment.
Catalogue reference
Selecting equipment records your research choice. It does not calculate dimensions, establish an available combination or rate a truck.
About this edition & its evidence
April 2013. CNG reference only. The 75 DGE tank package changes position between 4x2 and 6x4. Diesel powertrain, weight and tank packaging are not interchangeable with this sheet.

04 / MODELS, YEARS & CHANGES
One badge.
Different reference points.
Publication dates and launch milestones do not establish continuous model-year ranges. Match the VIN, production date and equipment era.
Regional work, mixed equipment context
International’s used-truck overview mentions both N13 diesel and ISL G natural gas. Its broad ranges do not replace the dated CNG specification.
International Used Truck Center · TranStar overview · undated ↗Inspection and build evidence
Identify diesel or CNG equipment first. Check the gas-system identification and service records when applicable; inspect cab mounts, frame alterations and fifth-wheel installation.
- VIN-linked factory build record and production date
- Engine and transmission identification plates
- Axle ratings, tyre ratings and fifth-wheel installation
- Physical measurements of the individual tractor
05 / PUTTING IT TO WORK
Match the trailer to the whole truck.
Compare the tractor’s actual axle, tyre, coupling and combination limits with the intended trailer. Sleeper length, tank packaging and fifth-wheel position affect clearance; model names do not establish payload.
HIGHWAYTRAILERS.CA
Flatbed
Start with deck length, load placement, axle distribution and cab-to-trailer clearance.
Read the guide HIGHWAYTRAILERS.CAStep deck
Compare deck height, gooseneck geometry and the loaded combination’s height.
Read the guide HIGHWAYTRAILERS.CARGN / equipment hauling
Check neck compatibility, fifth-wheel loading, wet-kit requirements and the complete axle layout.
Read the guide HIGHWAYTRAILERS.CAHow trailer capacity works
Review the tractor, coupling, trailer, tyres and load as one combination.
Read the guidePulling a trailer
Confirm build-specific combination, axle, tyre and coupling ratings, kingpin and service connections, clearance and actual axle weights. GVW is the loaded truck; GCW is the loaded combination. Neither is trailer payload.
Moving the tractor as cargo
Give the carrier measured length, exterior and mirror widths, height, ground clearance and transport weight. Assess deck access, breakover, loaded height and securement together.
Deck height & loaded height ↗There is no single “TranStar towing capacity”.
The model badge, artwork and catalogue option selectors cannot rate an individual combination. Obtain the actual build limits and scale weights.

Reference-specific evidence needed
- Verify exterior body width and mirror width independently, plus overall length, accessory height and fifth-wheel height.
- Production-year boundaries and undocumented earlier variants need their own dated factory sources.
- Confirm emissions equipment, installed powertrain and axle ratios from the individual build.
- Add a dated diesel 8600 / TranStar sheet. The representative diesel artwork does not depict the CNG tank package.
- Historic TranStar conventional and cabover names need distinct records; this file does not merge them with the later regional tractor.
