chu613 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 They are being built since last year. They're already on the ground at some dealerships. We expect some next month up here in Canada .

Dirtymilkman Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 The one in our area is a preproduction model, which equals junk. Not a impressive truck. I don't know why they'd send such a pieced together truck out.

That's nowhere near as FUGLY as the Pre-production pics floating about the Internet.. Is the centre of the Bumper just painted Black? or does the Grill go all the way down?? 1 Quote "Be who you are and say what you feel...Because those that matter...don't mind...And those that mind....don't matter." - Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52242-anthem-production/#findComment-391612 Share on other sites More sharing options...

66dc75 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Not that bad looking actually but couldn't they do a better job on the roof fairing attachment? It looks like they tek screwed it on.

james j neiweem Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 A few more rivets/fasteners might be in order to give it a quality look. I hope the rest of the truck is not put together like this. Grill/ hood /steps/fuel tank fairings/cab seem like they were designed ok. Roof fairing looks like some kids dropped it off a bridge on to the truck.

BillyT Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 41, those spot mirrors are an atrocity! Mirrors are supposed to improve safety those block your vision! What's the deal with the flat black plastic? There are a couple of U and DM Macks still running daily in my area,wonder how many years that "Mack" will last!
