james j neiweem Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Does anybody know if the CL replacement will come out when the MP10 engine is introduced? Will there be a new mack line up that looks like the Australian line up? Will mack get a COE like the Volvo twin in Australia. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Barry Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 We have heard tons of rumors but no hard facts! Mack is being real secretive about the release of the new MP10 truck! I think we are gonna be happy, though! Quote Barry - Watt's Truck Center Parts Manager and BMT Webmaster...1-888-304-MACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroR Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I for one will not be happy with the new cl or any other truck , new motors will never run like the older ones, or get get the same mpg, and how much are we suppost to pay for a new truck, i talked with a local salesman at mack and when he told me the price of a new granite (tandem dump) i was amaized on how much the prices have gone up. This is only my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaddeusW Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 20080131125609762.pdfFrom the newest Bulldog Magazine.Oh my god I think I have died and gone to heaven! The Titan is coming! Woooooo hoooooo! Ok let me calm down first. Will they have the vertical air intake snorkels as an option? And I bet those Meritor/Volvo planetary axles will be an option. Volvo got one thing right take the toughest truck mack has ever made (No. 1 selling road train hauler in Australia) and bring it to North America. Titan is a very worth name to be put on a Mack truck!Also since Mack Australia is now inline with Mack America will we see other crossovers like the Metroliner? Would be great if Mack had a premium class 6/7/8 truck to compete with Kenworth and Peterbilt 300. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

Doug Maney Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Saturday January 12, 2008, I-78, milemarker 20I thought I saw a long nose Mack on a lowboy trailer headed west. It was burgundy with masking tape on it, it looked as if it was going to be striped. It may have been done for camo. It caught me off guard, I initially thought it was a 9900 International but then my brain caught up with my eyes and I thought I saw a Mack cab. It looked interesting, not completely as it had been explained. It appeared long, low and sleek, a little more street friendly that how it was described to me before. I heard big, rugged and almost RD-800 ruggedish, I guess not.Doug Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

A few weeks back some "big block" customers got an early look. It was also my first chance to the the truck with chrome and a paint job.

james j neiweem Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 I know that the MP 10 is in the family and will be a fine engine, but I think they should offer cummins and cat. This will be a popular truck and broadening the engine base should broaden sales. People buy tucks for different reasons. Some by price, some by name brand, some by dealer, some buy warantee and service and yes many by engine manufacturer. Here in Connecticut mack has lagged due to the big power (Cummins & Cat) in the Petes and Kw's. Mack look at what works and compete. Long live Mack. Stop all this Volvo/New Mack bashing. Macks are still made in America by Americans. They are still made of steal, cast iron, aluminum. Still use lube oil and diesel fuel. Still have dedicated design and engineering people, and they still have one thing no other truck has and never will, the MACK NAME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
