Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted November 28, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2016 Just flogged this from Facebook for your viewing pleasure Big news for Mack fans today - a Mack World First ! The largest, and complete, set of one of every limited edition Mack conventional ever made was assembled in central Queensland. Spanning nearly 30 years, starting with the US-produced Magnum and Freedom Super-Liner models, with the Aussie BiCent, in its rightful place at centre stage, and flanked by a Centennial Trident and topped off by the biggest - a Southern Cross Titan. A very special gathering and awesome lineup ! . 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47811-world-first/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I need new specks, the Trident looks better than the Titan. .

kscarbel2 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 The Trident is clearly my favorite, Paul. She's a looker. . . . Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47811-world-first/#findComment-353334 Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Is the black Mack a Trident or a Superliner? They need to bring that over here. Shouldn't take much. Looks like the hood would do it Edited November 30, 2016 by james j neiweem Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47811-world-first/#findComment-353546 Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Beautiful, The Superliners look small compared to the new ones, poor old B would be lost in their shadows. Which one of the Bi-Centennials is it? Can't make out the name on the deflector.

Timmyb Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I think Mack are happy to use the reputation of the old trucks to sell new ones. But to actually supply parts and service to the older ones and they seem ashamed that they ever built them. My 2c.

Speaking of the axle-back variant, the hood is shorter, to allow for a shorter BBC for legal B-double work. Shorter by 155mm (6.1 inches). The Trident's front axle is set back farther than the Titan and Super-Liner, 1297mm (51.1") versus 1058mm (41.7") respectively. The axle-forward Trident's front axle is set back 737mm (29"). https://www.macktrucks.com.au/~/media/files au/brochures/trident_ab.ashx?as=1 https://www.macktrucks.com.au/~/media/files au/brochures/trident_af.ashx?as=1 https://www.macktrucks.com.au/~/media/files au/brochures/titan_brochure.ashx?as=1 https://www.macktrucks.com.au/~/media/files au/brochures/superliner_brochure.ashx?as=1 As for the dimensions of the U.S. market Titan, they no longer publish any specifications on their website.

james j neiweem Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 That Trident axle forward is the best looking truck on the planet with old school spec sheets to boot. With offerings from Cummins, Volvo, Meritor, Dana, Eaton and Mack. It seems like Aussie models would work in Canada and some western states. Maybe all states with future regulation changes. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47811-world-first/#findComment-353636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
