So I currently have a 2001 mack rd 688 with the 460 in it with 18 speed. I love the truck. plenty of power and it gets up and goes. Im going to upgrade the truck because im doing more work further from where I live and the truck is getting old. I have a 2008 granite tractor that pull my low boy with the mp8 and im very happy with it and its power.  I also have a 2004 granite which is a absolute dog , won't get out of its ways. which truck would you wanna buy with good power dump truck . How are the mp7 motors . any advice is helpful.

I have 2 ..2021..pi64t pinnacle with a 12 spd auto 

I pull a 37ft steel end dump with gross wt of 84k everyday in north texas and absolutely love both of them 

Mp8 engines in both and mack turned both up to 575hp 

I dont have any problems pullung heavy wt with them at all even with the automatic 12 spd 

Also have 2013 cxu 613 mp8 ....415hp 10 spd and its the same way ...plenty of power on all of them and no complaints at all 

The mp7 as far as ive been checking in on them ....they are about 700 lbs lighter and lil better on fuel ...as for power i cant answer that 1

As for fuel mileage 6.5 everyday on all 3 my trucks 

Idk where you live at but those macks is all i see up this way in texas 

Have a great day ....be safe
