I know they are few and far between but more Granite tractor please. Why so few I have no clue. I would guess they could be speced light like a Pinnacle axle foeward. Not enough of these out there either.

We had 5 Granite tractors that were 03’-05’s. Spec’ed just as light as any thing else Mack was putting out.   I always thought Mack should have done a Valu-Liner type package for the Granite.

Explanation I heard from a Mack dealer is that a lot of customers that really should buy a Granite for their vocational/construction/farm application buy a Pinnacle or Anthem instead because they're a couple thousand $$$ cheaper and the "on highway" Pinnacle or Anthem gets a longer warranty than the vocational trucks like the Granite.

Mack borrowed heavily from the 1998 Ford Louisville redesign when creating the granite as seen in the second pic.

I like that blue cab.  Not enough adventurous companies out there to order unique colors.  

Locally, there is a INTL tractor that was painted from the factory with just about that same blue, but on the frame.  The cab is a standard white cab (IIRC), but the frame is awesome (and they keep it clean).

New trucks look way better when they aren’t completely white.

Dog gone..... that's a LOT of truck!

I was told it isn't even in its final form.  Computerized leveling arms are being created for it right now, and there was some other major addition being planned for it as well.  

At that size, I guess it's more like a Navy ship where systems are added to it as the technology for each system progresses. 🙂

Interestingly enough, I have a friend who says that he has contracted out that company a number of times, and they used that truck on two of his worksites.
