So, seeing as I have been more busy since I retired. I have not kept up on this site like I want to. So, what's happening with the Max's being made over in Europe. I sent the company an email like a year ago wanting to know what the latest is with the Max's being sold in the US again. In fact I have sent several emails. I don't get so much as a "huh" from them. So, where can we get parts. And just what is the status. Are they ever going to make a comeback here again. I sort of felt like we been snubbed over here. I'm thinking that I might want to look at Argo's for a future buy. But I love the old MaxIV. Anybody have any new information?????

There are some links on the MXIATV.COM site worth looking at. One explains (???) production delays. One asking for SN data on production years 2013-2016/7. Others have data on FAQ's and historical data As for info on what is "happening" for the future of the MAX line, that is anyone's guess. I also have tried to contact them through their "CONTACT" page and only get an occasional "auto response". Personally, I think that MXIATV has hung us all out to dry.
Both 6x6PARTS.COM and MAX6x6.COM have some parts for now.

Yes, I believe we are looking at a machine that will not be seen in the U.S. again. It's sad to think of. What a great machine it had and if filled a market that was pretty strong right up until 2017 when things started falling apart. In that respect I have been seriously thinking about going the Argo way. I really enjoy the Max but am starting to look into the future. It's like SAAB corporation. When they folded they had a seriously good product. But now try to get parts. It's complicated and expensive. I hope the EU can get it's act together but don't have much hope.
And on top of it... I have a broke down machine. It would be nice if you could just load it up and bring it to a dealer like the Argo.Last edited by wheeler; 05-23-2019, 10:34 AM."I'm NOT stuck, I'm just temporarily stopped"

I truly understand the SAAB reference, as a 48+ year SAAB owner. My last car, a 2004 9-5 Linear Wagon is getting a little long on wear, and like you said, while there are parts, they are harder to find, and more expensive. Again, too bad, as like RI, what was originally a great vehicle, boht went down hill under subsequent ownership, to the point they rode it out of business.
