    I've changed my mind completeley on this being a Dart inspiration and go with KS assessment of a Euclid. I've seen Euc's that look just like this. KS to the rescue again.

    Fjh- Yes the old Mack is dead but there are still plenty of old Macks around too enjoy. As for the new Macks at least they are still around. I'll bash Volvo all day but I still can't bring myself to bash the new Macks to harshly. They do have a lot more cab configuration options now with the new cabs. The only Volvo that I like the looks of is the Volvo VHD axle forward. Take care!

    Early KW after Dart acquisition would be my guess. Like tjc said.

    Looks like they want to build two very separate models for heavy haul and logging. 1.) One a heavy haul conventional tractor with Cummins X15 (probably 18 speed or Allison) 2.) And the other is a Scania diesel hybrid with generator and motor like a locomotive I wish them luck. They seem to have a pretty good team together. They are looking for investors.

    Since Western Star dropped the 6900, it looks like the only competition for the KW C580 will be the upstart Canadian Edison Motor offering. Pretty interesting Company

    What are the specs on Mack AB and AC engines
  7. james j neiweem

    Awesome thanks! Who was the gentleman in the video?

    FJ good point! I forgot Volvo screwed with Acar also!

    Let me guess. Made a good looking grill to look hideous?
  11. james j neiweem
    Better looking old or new Granite-IMHO old' Better looking old or new Anthem-IMHO old Better looking old Pinnacle (CHU) or new Keystone-IMHO Pinnacle Better looking Old Mayflower cab or Volvo cab-IMHO tossup The new Mack grills are not that appealing( look Cheap) Update-Chrome versions are decent That being said I guess the new Volvo cab interior exceeds the older Mayflower cab interior dimensions and layout. I guess these new models have to grow on you. Get rid of the new hideous bumper and go back to the old rectangular one with the bent ends. ( Rugged looking) They may be offered as options,

    Mack installed engines in Ohskosh mixers for a short while when they had a joint venture for front discharge mixers. I guess Mack will never again be in the front discharge mixer market. Volvo probably doesn't even know what one is!

    Kind of looks like a Lund visor. Always liked those. 20,000 thousand may seem high but you are getting something scarce as hen's teeth. Hope fully it's not bondoed to death.

    It pops up from time to time on the March 2 reveal. Looks more Volvo than Mayflower, I may be wrong.
  15. james j neiweem
    Nice motor home chasis!
  16. james j neiweem
    Also Volvo recently bought the Mayflower cab. Why would they turn around and dump it.
  17. james j neiweem
    If you look at pictures of the MD electric on facebook they already show the Volvo cab not the Mayflower
  18. james j neiweem
    Saw an add on face book showing the new MD electric with a Volvo cab? I thought the MD was sticking with the Commercial Vehicles cab for now. Quite confusing for sure.

    How did that work out for you White? Europe is smiling like a Cheshire cat. Add to that Freightliner, Western Star, Mack, Detroit Diesel, Navistar, Oliver, Cockshutt, Superior Diesel and many more. And now Trump wants to get into bed with China. More rough road ahead for the US. Let China keep to the Far East!
  20. james j neiweem
    How did all of the trucking and agricultural joint ventures betwween the US and Europe work out? I will tell you -European take over. Trump stop fooling around with our enemy China. They are in it for the long haul. You only have three more years

    Sure seems like the new Granite snippet shots on facebook look like a Volvo cab not the ch cab. I hope I am wrong. Two new models coming I see.
  22. james j neiweem
    New Granite snippets sure look like the Volvo cab. Iguess they are saving the Mayflower cab for the MD's for now.
  23. james j neiweem
    Welcome back Swish!
  24. james j neiweem
    Mark T. You say the new Granite is already in production. Does it get a new cab? Any thoughts on the Pinnacle replacement? Mack needs a continuation of the axle forward conventional. All other manufacturers offer this option

    This is a continuation of Bullheaded's New Mack release.
