    Yes most only need 13L but i read somewhere that half of all american class 8 trucks sold today still have a 15L engine so mack is only competing for 50 % of the total market ,no wonder why they only are getting 5-6 % market share. .

    If those were available here at a competitive price theyd sell like. Hot cakes

    The ones in those pictures above look different than american cl 's ,those aussie ones look to have a sharper drop to the hood and fenders look different . I have seen pics from new zealand that look just like american ones .

    Im from new england , when i was growing up in the 80s pete and kw were still pretty rare in logging and construction . Everybody had mack,international ,autocar,gmc, and ford ,wasnt til the mid-late 90s when paccars started to get popular now there everywhere

    Yeah everybody wants a pete or kw now days everything else is dirt in the united states as well

    Looks promising i could see this setup on a granite dump truck if the charge will last a 12 hour shift could be pretty good if its reliable .

    In the late 90s when cat started offering 475-550 hp and pete,kenworth ,international ,freightliner,ford, western star started having those big power trucks right on the lot competing against macks 350-460 hp trucks it was over for mack , plus mack onlyofferd sloped nosed models no classic look truck , the reliability slipped i think mainly because they were trying to compete with 15 liters with a 12 liter . I also dont know why mack dealers havent revolted against volvo and told thwm what they need to compete especially i the northeast where mack was dominant . I dont get it.

    12-13 liter is all most need but most want 15-16 liter even if only hauling 70-80k gross. I know alot of dump truck guys running 70k lbs with 550 cats and cummins , yes overkill but they want that power

    It looks ok but i was hoping for a more square look .

    Looks promising from what they've been posting , could be something good , a company rising from the ashes that the swedish overlords burnt down

    Looks like autocar is maybe debuting a new old school look conventional at the waste expo nest week , they have been teasing on their fb page

    Ive been hauling alot of pulpwood to ip in ticonderoga ny i like pulling in to the yard in my titan in a sea of w900s and western stars . Nice to be different.
  20. 41180
    ,Be intersting to see what this truck will be , if its a euro cabover with a bulldog on the front itll flop . If its a conventional with american dna it might be ok
  21. 41180
    Must be a paccar thing because our w900 has a dummy stack on the left side
  22. 41180
    Ive been talking with them on and off the past year , id like a nice simple glider from them , we'll see what happens
  23. 41180
    We all need 1000 pound feet of tq to get groceries , these diesel pickups are retarded ,theres no way that kind of power is needed or even able to be put to the ground ,and you know ford will put theirs up to 1050-1100 pounds just say they have more ,pretty soons the rams will have a x15 in theirs .
  24. 41180
    Yeah i didnt say it was great i said its been ok . The driver seat also already broke had to weld it . Really the mack titans we have were better than this when they were brand new , but we have had issues with plastic coolant lines on the titans and broken motor mount that ruined the flywheel housing cost 10k to fix that .so we'll see how this kw is when it gets 4-5 years old ,time will tell.
  25. 41180
    Our new kenworth has been ok its a nice truck its got a x15 about 65k miles on it its had a def pump go and check engine light is on but not i. Derate ,he brought it in to dealer they say doser valve problem most likely and it lost a carrier bearing. Ill keep you updated .
