bbigrig Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Why doesn't mack USA offer a nice big sleeper likes those on the titans here ? It would be a big hit in CanadaYep they would be a big hit in Canada......If Mack felt there was enough of a market share to gain in building them.....It took almost 4 years to get Mack to build a less then 40" sleeper onto the Titan. When I spoke to Mack Canada's marketing man about sleepers on Titans a year after the release that was his answer. "Not enough money to be made in that market segment". God forbid you build a big heavy truck with a sleeper you can do more then rest your head in. Meanwhile every KW, Pete, Western Star, and Freightliner go by here hauling heavy with an average of a 60" midrise sleeper on them. Mills Heavy Haul from Halifax Nova Scotia mounted a 60" slightly customized midrise on a Titan. He has blown the doors off me a few times passing through Ontario. It looks beautiful. It took a customer to do it on his own.This is as good as it gets in North America.

james j neiweem Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Well let me see.

Mackdaddy2030 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I love how lots of Australian Macks have the Bulldog mudflaps on the double humps. Does anyone know the dimensions of them? I can't find any hear. Was wondering if I could order some from there. Though I see them in white. I would lke black with the white Bulldog logo: Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34119-some-modern-aussie-macks/#findComment-267545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
