Why would they have separate model based solely on lift axle?  Doesnt make much sense. What about 5,6 or 7 axle Granite's? Lol.

What is the difference between a Granite 64FR and an 84FR?

Dealership is the biggest concern. 

Anyone know anything about McMahon Columbus? They bought Columbus Truck a few yrs ago, Columbus Truck was a joke. Lost of Mack guys around here avoided them at all costs. 

I'm considering a new Pinnacle 64T. Local, aggregate hauling, avg 7 loads,400-450 miles per day.  All the guys I've talked to recently have had few, if any issues with new('15+) Mack's. Has Mack quality increased? Heard of & dealt with many Mack issues in the 2003-2010 yrs. There seems to be a ton of wiring harness issues on new ('15+) KW & Pete's. Seems like everyone around here is having problems. Is Mack having the wiring harness problems? I guess basically, talk me into or out of, buying one. lol. Any & all $.02 appreciated.

I started out on R's, Superliners then CL. Dealt with the lovely new '04's, wiring nightmares & constant turbo failure, death wobbles from front ends, etc ,at a company I worked for. Now an O/O, (presently have a Coronado glider). From the majority I've talked to, Mack really hasn't much improved from the 04's. And the dealers still SUCK. Mack "seems" to have the emissions worked out, but the rest is still a crap shoot at best. Always liked Mack, the looks, interior, layout etc, but I really cannot see buying one with all the likely downtime and dealer BS. I was hoping for some positive feedback in general, but sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case for the most part.

Pulling a gas tanker. All highway.

Put your salesmen hats on & sell me on why should I buy a 2016 Mack.The good , the bad and the ugly. Reliability? Service? Mpg ? Chu613, small bunk, local tank work.

Why not do the emissions delete/ecm reprogram on the emissions motor? Your way seems to be way more expensive & a lot more hassle.

Appreciate the info. Mack should have made this instead of the CL

Is there anyone that does deletes? Or get a hold of the military/non US version ecm? Seems like those that do the tuning only do CAT or Cummins and occasionally Paccar.

Exported to Australia, New Zealand & South Africa.

Here's a few I've collected from various sites

The Allison we run is behind a CAT. Its gets about the same mpg 's compared to our Cat/Eaton auto and the Mack/Eaton tractors.The main difference is that when the Jake is on all the time in the Allison truck , it gets much worse mpg, 1 + mpg difference. The Jake is great in this truck , but it drops from 6th to 4th , thus the mpg difference.

We have an Allison 6 spd in one of our KW's . Drivers LOVE it!. They do not want to give that truck up.Its scheduled to be replaced early next yr, and they are begging me to try and keep it( wont happen). Only problem it has has was a selonoid went out at 320,000. Drives and shifts like a car.

Any why on earth would you say the titan is ugly?

I just think it looks disproportionate( is that even a word?)The cab/hood look like their overly tall.

Bring back the Superliner( & NOT the new one they are offering in Australia) a long, square hood. A Mack "Largecar", if you will. The Rawhide is cool, but it cant compete w/ a W9 or a 379.

Thats one of those extremely rare "PitBull" dogs!

Nice find! I love the Superdog with the texas square bumper!

X1000!!!! Looks like they moved the fuel tanks back, and are running Pickett elbows on those 8" pipes.

Would love to see more/closer pics of it.

Beautiful Superliner
