james j neiweem Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Do you think Pinnacle axle forward is a good model describtion. I think it borders on dumb. Leave the pinnacle name for the axle back but how about a new name for the axle forward. Maybee Superliner again. Why not they still use it in Australia. Also how about the Australian grills as an option for the axle forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I agree,all the new names are dumb in my opinion.Vision,Granite,Pinnacle,Titan,whatever happened to just calling them by model number,B model,R model,F model,etc??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM6285 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I find today's way of naming some MACK TRUCKS models a little out of pace. PINNACLE,what the heck does that name relates to TRUCKING? Only names I like are Granite and TITAN...but of all of them TITAN is the name they should KEEP.Why do they did not bring back the SUPERLINER name?I like the old method of using letters and numbers and my favorites are B61, R600, RD600 to name a few.Isn't the VISION what became into PINNACLE?TERRA-PRO ???? Say what??? I still call this one MR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I talked to a long time Mack employee in Macungie this year. He said he retired because he was tired of the Volvo BS. I think we all are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmackattack Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 It is sad. The recent mack model names sound like golf clubs. Granite and Titan are more in line but still lacking a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HK Trucking Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 With V*lv* in charge, it's only a matter of time 'til they introduce a new model called "Trojan". Quote "If You Can't Shift It Smoothly, You Shouldn't Be Driving It" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 With V*lv* in charge, it's only a matter of time 'til they introduce a new model called "Trojan". And the primary ingredient of the truck will be latex rubber instead of plastic. Their flagship truck will be the "French Tickler". Marketing slogan will be: "The ride is so good, you'll really enjoy getting screwed".Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

convoyduel Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 The "Interstater" was the little known and little used name of the F model eastern cabover that came out in mid 1972 with the new plastic dash boards.Although the R models didn't get a wholesale name change with the new Command Cab interior in late '72, they should have called them the "Oxidizer".
