GearheadGrrrl Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 With only 4 suppliers left in the class 8 semi-tractor market here, profit margins have risen since GM, Dodge, and Ford left that market. Thus FIAT will probably bring the Powerstar here, and Ford might get back into the market too.

RFCDrum Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I like the new Powerstar. I didn't like it before but with the outside intakes and big grille it looks much better.

REOGasMackDiesel Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Looks like a Mack/Volvo hybrid, Mack grill area but Volvo head lights and wheel wells . . .Mike Quote 1953 REO M48.1962 GMC 3000.1969 AMC AMX-390.1983 AMC Eagle SX/4.1988 AMC Jeep Comanche.

bullhusk Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 first 2 pics reminds me of a volvo VNM. i would like to see a new player in the USA market but i'm not holding my breath. I dont really count the CAT trucks as new.I talked to 2 guy's with CAT Trucks and the news was not good, one was a roll-off and the other was a cat dealer truck, motors junk and the hoods break. How true?? I don't know ?? I am no CAT fan so It's only speculation!BULLHUSK Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30961-the-new-for-2012-iveco-powerstar-range-the-new-dodge-truck-class-8-line-up/#findComment-181025 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 The new Bighorn.The top-of-the-hill 7800 Series with its massive grille could surely assume the name "Bighorn".
