cfesting Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Mack Truck is the subject of National Geographic's Ultimate Factories - it will air for the first time on 1/14/2012 8PM EST."The Mack Titan is over ten tons of chrome and steel and this new American truck is built right here in the USA at the Mack factory in Pennsylvania."While I had seen a general mention of it here before, I hadn't seen an airing date so I thought I'd post.Have a good one, all!

cfesting Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Some reading while we sit on our hands. The first link is pretty complimentary and worth the short read; the second link is general info. http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/ultimate-factories/mack-truck-blog/http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/ultimate-factories/facts-mack-truck/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack 3P Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 GREENSBORO, NC (January 12, 2012) – The National Geographic Channel will premiere its episode of Ultimate Factories featuring Mack Trucks, Inc. on Saturday, Jan. 14 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT). The hour-long episode will take viewers behind the scenes, showing start to finish what it means to be Built Like A Mack Truck®. A heavy-haul Titan by Mack™ takes center stage as its Mack MP10 engine – top rating of 605 hp and 2,060 lb-ft of torque – rugged Mack Cornerstone chassis and air-ride equipped cab come together to form the most powerful truck Mack has ever built.“Filming a show about Mack trucks was definitely one of the coolest gigs I've had,” said Ultimate Factories associate producer Francis Cordero in her blog about the episode. “There are hundreds of people involved in the making of this truck in three main facilities. We filmed at all three locations, the first at the Macungie Assembly plant where the trucks drive off the line. The second facility was the Powertrain center where the Mack engines are made. The last location we filmed at was the Customer Center where Mack trucks are test driven on a closed course.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaysm35a2 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I like the Superliner drag race. Any TV show air time for Mack can help. I spotted the guy that collects antique Mack's from the show Undercover Boss on the line installing a grille guard or bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

convoyduel Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Watched it four times here already with my kids. It was a good episode and seemed to represent Mack well. I personally like the mention about the difference between a chrome and gold bulldog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
