granitefan713 Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 Thanks, are the GU model tags going to replace the CTP...? I also thought the CXP(Pinnacle) was the replacment for the Vision, or are these current tags being used until the MP8 becomes available?

Mack 3P Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 The MP10 will be in the "CL replacement" scheduled for early 2008. The most that could show in at Mid-America are pictures or models.The highway product is called Pinnacle. The CXU is axle back, the CHU is axle forward.The construction product is still called Granite, the GU8 is axle back, and the GU7 is axle forward.Refuse is MRU & LEU.The "U" now means is it has a US07 engine.Don't feel bad. The names get confusing for us also, names are created then not used. The CXU was called CXK for a while.

ThaddeusW Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 "The highway product is called Pinnacle. The CXU is axle back, the CHU is axle forward."Ah I see. So the CH lives on as an axle froward model. Also will the Vision name be discontinued in favor of the Pinnacle name? Another question is why the new small and offset Mack lettering? Is the large lettering still available? My biggest question is the rumor of the Volvo cab replacing the Mack cab once the Mayflower contract expires true?

I haven't seen a production CHU yet.A new cab will come some day (years). I don't know when the Mayflower contract expires. I would not call it a "Volvo" cab as much as a "global" cab.

granitefan713 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 I really can't see Volvo phasing out Mack due to the amount of people who buy a truck for the Mack name. I would hope that Volvo would realize thay by phasing out Mack they would loose too many customers. In regards to the small offset lettering, I actually like it, at least its better than the Vision which only had Mack on the small emblem in the "V" (Volvos way of putting their name on Mack) on the hood. Also, isn't the small offset lettering only on the Pinnacle?

Mack 3P Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 There has to be some appearance difference between the Pinnacle and Vision. There will be no Volvo label, logo, sticker, or emblem on a Mack or Renault. It is part of a brand marking spec.
