I like the looks from the front view and it doesn't look like its falling on its face from the side view.

There goes some more Mack funding down the drain.

Mr. Hancock thanks for the lesson. Where in NH are you located? My daughter lives in Durham. When I visit her I go truck spotting. Lots of dump activity up there.

Beauty! Questions. Doesn't appear to have a long hood. Why the thermodyne emblam? Was it converted to diesel?

Could put a little more design quality into the grill.

Looks Navistarish to me. Shacker also. Beats the Mack big dog. Oh that's right there is no Mack big dog. Seems as though Volvo can't figure out how to get an Aussie dog over here. All you have to do is hold the interior up to a mirror and copy. KW 980 looks ok to me coming on the heels of numerous ugly T660's and 2000's. Like the looks of the T-880 also.

B dumps like that were popular in NY city and Chicago as well. Thanks for posting

Diesels are more efficient at putting fuel to the wheels than power plants are putting fuel to the batteries.

Mack eater.

Will Austalian hoods fit on American Mack's?

Sweet replacement for the LT/B-73/75

KS That's funny!

I did not know you could heavy spec an Anthem.

That is right before that dumb ass White Motor Corporation (that couldn't take care of business) opened the door for Volvo to go nationwide.🤕

Are there any grill options from Mack for the Anthem and Pinnacle? Can't say I am sold on the bow tie grill for the Pinnacle. The old horizontal bars on the CH Pinnacle looked great. Have not seen any bow tie Pinnacles on the road as of yet. Also I never likes the grill on the US Titan. It was not as sharp as the Aussie grills. Which brings to mind would Aussie bonnets fit on the CH?🙂

KS- I take it VW gives Scania full autonomy pretty much as does Daimler with Freightliner and Western Star. Would be a good model for Volvo in regards to Mack.

So sad to see Illinois/Indiana construction Mack's slip slidin away. T880's are all over Ct now to. Not a bad looking truck.

I also saw a Sysco Anthem a couple of weeks ago in Middletown Ct. I've seen about 3 Anthems so far.

Took a trip to NH from Ct. I 395/ 290 to Durham NH and back. 7 hours of road time. I didn't see one Anthem. This area along with eastern Mass used to be loaded with Mack CH's pulling dump trailers, tankers etc. Not so much any more. Peterbilts have pretty much ko'd the CH and everything else. Quite a few Western Stars and KW's. Almost no Granites pulling trailers. A decked out CH is about the best looking truck on the road. I think they might regain there dominance in the RI- Boston- NH- Maine area if a Cummins option was offered for the MP engines and there injector issues. Noticed that Severino is now buying Western Stars for their newest dumps(long time Mack user). Also noticed long time Mack user Continental paving is buying new KW T 800's. Not looking good for former Mack country.

Thanks for the info JH.

Thanks fellow Mack nuts

What is a Mack granite 64FR designation?

No wonder they have no money left over for Mack! They will spread themselves so thin like Mack and White did and the Chinese will jump in with both feet.

KS- Used to like BT's green and yellow paint scheme. There COE Freightliners looked sharp. Wasn't a fan of the low rider IH COE's though. I am not sure what else they ran.

Should be able to turn those Mack's into Shackers in no time Does appear to be a pretty decent operation per their website
