Jamaican Bulldog Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Did Mack offer the RD 800 in AWD maybe for military applications? I know the set back axle RM was often offered in AWD and set up as municipal plow. Also did the RD and RM have the same length hood only with the RM set back axle and shorter fenders? Was the RM offered with a V8 Mack? I build models and want to get some info for realism.

ThomasL Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 The RD800 was offered in AWD configuration. Not only in military applications but also in civil. The Mack RM was also available with Mack V8 (E9) 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62926-mack-rd-800-and-rm-awd-and-engine-questions/#findComment-453513 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A RM V8 is also very interesting, it seems to have the room.

Jamaican Bulldog Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Is a RM hood the same length as a RD800 but only with a set back axle?

Maxidyne Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 IIRC the RM hood was shorter. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62926-mack-rd-800-and-rm-awd-and-engine-questions/#findComment-455815 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD800 AWD was built and tested in both Canadian and American logging industries in a tractor multiple trailer application. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62926-mack-rd-800-and-rm-awd-and-engine-questions/#findComment-458265 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ppsyclone Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Why did Mack not offer AWD on DM800? They offered it on the RDs. And its predecessor model, the B8136 offered it.

davehummell Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I was on vacation up to Mt. Katahdin camping and we drove up into paper company lands and there is not anyway you could place another log on the trucks that run the golden road. The triaxles had bunkers higher than I see around my area you gave the trucks the right away it was their road.
