    You have to have it displayed if you plan on idling your truck in any of the California ports.

    They are built by a subcontractor in Lancaster, PA, last I knew.

    I believe its an option, as over the summer I've seen both versions on trucks rolling out of the factory.

    They are waiting for the deflectors to be installed. The fairings aren't installed at the plant, they are installed at the MOD center, unless it will make the truck too tall for shipping, in which case they are just strapped to the frame behind the cab. (Correct me if I'm wrong 3P).

    I don't know where they draw the line, but I spoke to Rose a few months ago with a request, and I was told they don't handle "newer trucks", only old ones. Not sure exactly what the consider "newer".

    Love that UPS 613! UPS recently purchased some LNG powered KW T800s, but I don't think we can count them on the same playing field.

    The Christmas Tree truck is cool! I'm still surprised that Air Products still uses 8-lug rims though.

    A UPS 613? Now I hope to see one of those!

    I think I'm going to have to see one in person to formulate my true opinion on it.

    That is insane. I wish all their trucks were orange. I'm not a big fan of white trucks.
  11. granitefan713
    I was wondering when they would hit the line. I'll have to keep my eye out for one.

    Here's the odd ball, I like this shade of blue much better as a stand alone color, but I think the dark blue fits in nicer with the other colors. Wow! It seems the foreign countries are getting some cool stuff. Will that truck get the Mack emblem in the front?

    Same here. I heard they had turbo and rear-end problems with he shakers, plus they didn't necessarily get the greatest service on them. There are 10 Pinnacles on the order, plus one in a much brighter blue, with a chrome bumper. Not sure what the story is with that one though.

    Now that is a sharp Titan! I also love the Bolus Freight Mack Pinnacle in the background! (Those are starting to show up at my local dealer)
  15. granitefan713
    Hmm, that black one looks familiar. I like the orange one with the sleeper better though.
  16. granitefan713
    Very cool. I'll be around the plant and Customer Center tomorrow, and am hoping to see some awesome stuff.
  17. granitefan713
    That was an awesome truck for sure! I was shocked to see it when I pulled into the Customer Center on Saturday.
  18. granitefan713
    Very nice truck!
  19. granitefan713
    I was there on Saturday, but missed the photo, I was in the plant.
  20. granitefan713
    Now that is cool! Thanks for sharing these pics, keep them coming! P.S.: You can have them park that one out by the Mack sign this weekend.
  21. granitefan713
    I believe the factory tour is just Saturday like in the past. You probably won't be able to drive over yourself this year either. Just hop on the bus at the show and they'll take you over. I believe they usually start around 10am.
  22. granitefan713
    Awesome trucks! I really like that CXU high-rise! Paint it blue and we'd have a winner!
  23. granitefan713
    I love piggyback trucks. They're always new (99% of the time).
  24. granitefan713
    I'll be there.
  25. granitefan713
    Let me put it this way. I'd rather have a Mack of course, but I'd take it before I'd take a Kenworth or Peterbilt. Or, if it were between an '85 R-Model, or a '12 VHD, I'd take the VHD. Ooops...did I say that out loud... Overall, its not a bad looking truck IMO. I like the axle forward, like the one pictured, much better than the axle back.
