Vladislav Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Interesting display! And I like that RD aside. Have Anthems became common on the road in your neck of the woods? Thanks for sharing.

Mark T Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I don't see a shifter in that Anthem. Do the automated manuals ( or automatics ) work for you guys ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hear complaints apart from unusual or perhaps unexpected shifts They do appear to hold up okay even at 130 ton GCM Paul 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some UPS Anthems lately, but the UPS center in our area went away from them as fast as they could retire their fleet of CXU's. They were constantly having problem after problem, many ended up in our shop. I know a guy that works with them moving their equipment around, and he said they hated their Macks.

The Heinz Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Yeah, Volvo hasn't been kind to Mack, neither has emissions requirements. Emissions hasn't been kind to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upsman Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Our cxu’s are the most reliable compared to our freightliners and kw’s. I’m in an anthem for a year now and no issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 anthems are sure not hard to look at UPS has just a few of them in my area,,,mostly freightliner IH and kenworth,,but i believe atleast some of the freightliners are propane or natural gas,,,i understand thier slugs on the hills,,,,but then again,everything is with triple trailers,,,bob...
