Ray Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I've been a Mack driver and Mack fan for sometime now, but I recently had the displeasure of driving a 2005 Vision day cab that was leased from Ryder. A very nice truck, pretty fast, nice ride, smooth shifting 9 spd, ice cold A/C, But what is up with the hood? It slides all over the place. I stopped a few times thinking it wasn't latched down. It had rub marks on the cowl from sliding back and forth. When I fueled up at Ryder, I asked the attendant if this particular tractor was in an accident and the hood was replaced. I was told all Visions do this. Maybe Mack needs to hire better engineers,instead of Volvo's rejects. Volvo builds a nice truck, but they will never understand the Bulldog heritage. Dumb Swedes.

Superdog Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I can tell you that all Visions don't do that,my Dad has a '01 and younger brother has a '04.Being it's a '05,that would make it a CXN,meaning it has the Volvo designed frame,the hood probably just wants the hell off for pride's sake.
