mack mhe9 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I like my hood but I would buy a cabover in a min. Short wheel base and light to get around New England. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbigrig Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Where is that KScarbel???? I've got a question for him...... Back in the early 90's at the Canadian truck show, Mack displayed a Renault Magnum Cabover for the heck of it.... I remember seeing a different Renault Magnum cabover with E-tech for power here at Mack Canada in the 99 or 2000. It was branded as a Mack with a CL emblem in the center of the grill. I'm trying to remember if it was badged as a "Prestige" I wished I got a picture of it then. Does Kscarbel know anything about its short existence? Was it a test truck or for show??? I think that Renault is starting to look like a Volvo FH cabover. Does this Renault have a flat floor like the Magnum inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 It is a Volvo cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel67 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 In Australia they run the Renault magnum as a mack branded truck. For a little while I was told Renault wanted to bring the magnum here to Canada And the USA as the new mh with the v8 engine. I guess there was no interest here in North America. But continued and brought the Renault magnum to ausitralia and sell it there as the mack magnum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But continued and brought the Renault magnum to ausitralia and sell it there as the mack magnum.They brought 1 up to Canada badged as a Mack (not a Renault) It had an E-tech for power not a V8. Pretty sure it was autoshift trans equipped... I think it was badged as a "prestige". It was also a left hand drive. Painted white. It was in 99 or 2000 at Toronto Mack. Saw it once, no camera. Wish I knew what happened to it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksheep Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 As far as i can remember the magnums in Australia were all powered by Cummins signatures, still a few running around but most of them have now gone to the dismantlers yards. imho they were a big mistake.

RFCDrum Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 They did not anymore. The later ones had six cylinder Mack variant and then Renault engine at the end I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
