Sterling was Ford, don't know a thing about them either. International Harvester still at it, as ever. At one time GMC Ford & Dodge made class 8 & 9 trucks.

Sterling has been owned by Daimler since the 90's, but no more. Daimler has closed Sterling permanently. Still make Freightliner and Western Star.
International Harvester has used the Navistar name for decades.
Mack trucks are owned by Volvo but still made here (and everywhere else).
PACCAR also owns several foreign brands (Leyland, etc.)
