Boasting a robust Navistar A410H 12.4-liter diesel engine delivering 410 horsepower and an estimated 1,550 lb-ft of torque, this truck is engineered for strength and efficiency in the toughest working conditions. Paired with a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission, it offers seamless power delivery and excellent drivability whether cruising highway stretches or maneuvering job sites.
The RH613’s durable tandem axle configuration, supported by a sophisticated air suspension system, ensures optimal weight distribution and superior ride comfort, even when hauling a massive 4,000-gallon tank full of water.

Functionality is paramount, and this water truck is no exception. The tank is mounted securely on an 86-inch cab-to-axle wheelbase, providing a perfect balance between maneuverability and stability. The cab itself, designed with both driver comfort and operational efficiency in mind, features power windows and locks, cruise control, an air ride driver’s seat, and a modern AM/FM Bluetooth stereo system that keeps the operator connected and entertained on long shifts. Climate control is handled effortlessly through air conditioning and heating systems, ensuring a comfortable working environment regardless of weather conditions.
Externally, the truck presents a clean and professional appearance in classic white, a color choice that not only reflects heat but also gives the vehicle a crisp, polished look suitable for a wide range of industries, from construction to municipal water services. The exterior is rugged and functional, with easy access points for maintenance, including a front, rear, and side sprayer system that enhances operational versatility. The power take-off (PTO) mechanism enables smooth engagement of these auxiliary systems, making this water truck an all-in-one workhorse for dust control, compaction, and more.
Safety and compliance are built into every facet of this truck. With air brakes and an air suspension dump system, the RH613 delivers consistent braking power and controlled suspension adjustments, contributing to safer handling even under heavy loads. The truck’s substantial gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of approximately 80,000 pounds means it can handle additional towing responsibilities with ease, making it a highly adaptable asset for any fleet.
