Maybe mine is different, but a 2015 with 150,000 miles and never an issue. Clutch is used a lot too

This new cab interests me. I was told it will definitely NOT resemble the Volvo cab. The guy from Mack said "NO F'ING WAY". And with new leadership wanting to keep things separated, I have my fingers crossed. But who knows. It's all about costs and stock prices.

Why won't paccar use actual photos?!?! I thinks it's kind of embarrassing. They do alright showing specs and some options but the pictures are ridiculous.

I just saw one of these 567's tonight in the cheese plant. A huge company that runs Peters had a early one. Not a sharp truck in the color blue. Up close it looked very flimsy and seemed Volvo 880ish

There's a fleet here running dozens of new 880 kw's. They're pulling tankers hauling milk. I hear the same complaints from all the drivers. Mediocre a/c, tons of electrical issues, dull non semi truck like dash and the paccar motors have had turbo and after treatment issues. I can't speak for the mp8 Mack's, but I have a 2015 with an mp10 pushing 200,000 miles and have had zero emissions issues. But I keep idle time down to 8%

Overhead electrification is early 1900's technology. And a mess.

Buffet is so far removed from reality now that he doesn't make the same decisions the way he used to. Even his investments aren't done the way they were he started making his fortune. Now he's a left-wing mouthpiece and using his money to promote left-wing ideas-like a plug in electric truck.

Very interesting video, battery technology is changing so fast that this may get cheaper.

I still say they should hire Doc Brown and use the garbage to power the flux capacitor.

Switch to low pro's.

The mDrives will last well. They may be single countershaft but they are designed to be single countershaft. Very heavy bearings and gears

I broke one behind cab crossmember. Then the parts guy said you can get severe duty ones. After that never an issue. Most parts guys never heard of the severe duty ones or they're to lazy to do the research.

Any brand truck is only as good as the service you get and how knowledgeable the salesman is that's helping you spec it.

I saw this truck on I94 in MN too. I did a double take for sure.

What a horrible actress!!! I couldn't understand one word she said!

You don't gear a truck up because you wanna run 100mph. You gear it to fit the power band of the engine. The mp10 loves 1100 to 1400 rpm.

My sales guy is Jake at Nuss in St cloud, MN.

Salesmen now just want to sell fleets of trucks. The cheapest package they can put together to get the sale. There's so many options on a truck these days. My last two I ordered, the salesman and I took two days and over 5 hours each day to go through everything. He's old school Mack, he sold Mack trucks to my dad, he eats, breathes, sleeps and shits Mack. He gives you his home number in case you have trouble on a weekend and he'll come in to get you parts or a truck. That's a dieing breed.

I have a 2015 Titan set up as a milk truck. I've always had CL's before this so I have experience with those too. I also have lighter ch's so I know how those are. Comparing a Titan to a set forward CH is apples to oranges. Titans are made for heavy, uneven ground, extreme conditions. Mine grosses 91,000 lbs and does tons of turning and going in and out of steep approaches. A CH is not made for that. As for pulling a lowboy, a set forward CH with 14,300 front and air ride would be perfect. Unless you're pulling in and out of a lot of pits or forests. My Titan was 9,000 dollars more than a granite spec'd the same except with an mp8. As for my Titan, I have 140,000 miles on it. I have had zero emissions issues, zero injector issues and no other issues. Only problem so far it was burning oil. Turns out when the Swedes assembled my engine, they lined all the piston ring grooves up. There was no begging to fix it or complaining, I told them what it was doing and they overhauled it from top to bottom. Even spun new bearings in. As for the turning radius, the titan turns WAY shorter than my CL's with a shorter wheelbase. It's a very nimble truck for its size. Mine is mp10, Mack 18spd, Mack 3.73 rears. I saw the parts in an m drive, they don't need to be triple countershaft, they're designed to be single countershaft, the bearings in them are huge. I wouldn't be afraid of one. Logtruckman makes a good point. The new era salesmen are worthless.

Only $11,000 a month!

Grainger is WAY overpriced in our neck of the woods. I wish there were still mom and pop hardware stores that had the quality stuff. At least your money would stay local.

Haha. That'd be awesome. But I think it may be a April fools prank.........Hugo Gripsapeni? Haha

LTL or a late model Superliner!

My mp10 has a primer. 200 pumps to get to the injectors. The later model case tractors with the iveco engine have been using that turbo hooked to the timing gears for years. It's just on a overrunning clutch and they claimed it adds 3% efficiency.

Bummer about the knee. Looks like a M drive may now be in your future.
