Red Horse Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Just got an email from Mack with a teaser photo of a new truck to be announced 4/8. Check your emails. By the sharp angle of the hood looks like it might be like a 90 BBC tractor/truck. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75178-mack-announcement-april-8/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue-but like I said my bet is it is a short BBC judging by the steep angle of the hood. Ill try to post what I received. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75178-mack-announcement-april-8/#findComment-569684 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 67RModel Posted February 18 Popular Post Share Posted February 18 They announced back in November they would be launching a new "flagship" highway semi truck in 2025. Probably just a Volvo VNL with a different grill and a bulldog on the hood. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75178-mack-announcement-april-8/#findComment-569713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackpro Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 The new Mack Max Aero is debuting soon. I’m sure it will be very similar to the new Volvo VNR Max Aero with the sloped back windshield. The Volvo actually look well thought out under the hood after checking it out in person. I did notice it had the small in-line Cummins style SCR/DPF exhaust system. I heard last week that the Mexico plant will only produce Export models that are not for sale in the US 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75178-mack-announcement-april-8/#findComment-569739 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or dumb like a fox. the next announcement from Sweden will be...." After careful consideration and to remain competitive in the market place, given th commonality of drive trains, the Mack organization will be integrated into the Volvo operation blah blah. History repeats itself. White Motor bought Sterling in the early 50's then said..."duh but we have Autocar". end of Sterling.

Over an hour long..very well done show..teleprompters were in the floor. Truck is good looking..much b etter looking than Cascadia or any of the Paccars. I can't imagine what it will cost..Also the number of systems it has, almost scary in terms of complexity.

Mackpro Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) Didn’t watch the video, just went to the Mack website to see the new Pioneer. At least the MP8 got bumped to 515 HP and 1900 pounds of torque. The turbo compound engine MP8 is still at 505 Hp but torque is 1950 foot pounds. Not sure about the 8 bag rear air suspension but looks like you can still get the older Max lite suspension and Mack axles are still available.
