The Heinz Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Looks identical to me. Is this the NEW STANDARD that Mack says is coming soon? Something wicked is on its way for sure, and not the cool wicked. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75361-new-mack/#findComment-572634 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 67RModel Posted April 2 Popular Post Share Posted April 2 I guess the bulldog hood ornament creates too much drag and had to be eliminated to save a thimble full of fuel over the trucks lifetime. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75361-new-mack/#findComment-572647 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Joseph Cummings Posted April 2 Popular Post Share Posted April 2 I wonder if the dies still exist to stamp out an LTL Could you imagine if you could buy an LTL glider kit 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75361-new-mack/#findComment-572653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Heinz Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 The bulldog likely hadn't been installed yet, the truck looks like it was delivered incomplete considering there's tape over 1/4 of the truck's body. Although they probably did delete it to make it .0000001% more aerodynamic. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75361-new-mack/#findComment-572656 Share on other sites More sharing options...

navypoppop Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 You can see in the grill where the MACK letters will go and the indent in the tape on top front of the hood for the bulldog. It will not be long before Volvo just totally deletes this once great American icon.

tjc transport Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 i will also add, if they ever offered an LTL glider kit, i would snatch one up.... then stuff a 600 HP X15 cummins with allison trans in it just to use as a daily driver. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

It looks like there is enough room and frontal area to get the cooling you'd need in there. It has to be as big as a 379 I would think What do you think about having windshields that open like the early L cab? Three hinge doors and a more modern door latch would strengthen up the cab Edited April 3 by Joseph Cummings Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75361-new-mack/#findComment-572687 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Joseph Cummings Posted April 3 Popular Post Share Posted April 3 I wonder if you could get the kind of manifold pressure needed for like 600 HP from a Roots type blower. so you could make it sound like this and get a little flame out the stack 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75361-new-mack/#findComment-572698 Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Well the new Mack is out and it is called the Pioneer. Volvo clone with Mack hood and grill. Should have placed the Mack logo in the center of the grill instead of the bottom. I like the looks of the Anthem better. The pioneer will have a much improved interior I guess. Rumor has it that the Pinnacle axle forward will be dropped. Mack will not have a competitor in the long hood market leaving the likes of Paccar, Daimler and VW the lone providers. This would be a shame. The Mack Pinnacle axle forward is a good looking truck in my opinion. They are seen all over the Boston area. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75361-new-mack/#findComment-573295 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for a massive recall about it to come out, only for there to be no inventory.
