Bullheaded Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Volvo Mack has already lost their heavy haul customers. No trucks and no engines. Damage is done. They didn't even want to try and compete with the North American Titan. It was a great truck but way overpriced and no "real" sleeper options.

HeavyGunner Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Neat slideshow swishy.

I was quoted 16-18 weeks wait on a fairly standard Mack back in Sept. Start ticking Too many option Boxs or asking for something a bit "odd" They get a bit shirty with you for slowing the line down too much. unless of course if you want a batch of 'em....??

Bullheaded Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Nice pics. That last one is something I know....pulling the Morbark horizontal grinder around. Nice truck. Does the shorter wheelbase affect your allowable gross weight like it does here? Where I am here you get punished for not having a stupid long truck.

You want the biggest condo sleeper on a Western Star or 122SD? You got it. Want it twin steer with tri-drive? No problem. Want a steel butterfly hood? Okay. See how that works Volvo? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55191-something-for-the-the-us-mack-design-team/#findComment-413520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
