Future Macks?

[james j neiweem]

Read on facebook from a Mack (expert?) that the CH pinnacle is going away shortly to be replaced by a new axle forward Mack with a new design cab. He also stated that a new Anthem replacement will follow with the new cab. May be a bunch of whooy but the Mayflower cab is abot 30 years old. He did not mention any Granite changes.

Just going to be a Volvo with different badges on it, but no dog on the hood because that reduces the milage by .00000001

I’d only been working at the dealership for a year when we got in the first CH’s ,  first one we got was built 8-29-1988 with a E-6 350 4 valve head engine. That Mayflower built CH cab seemed like a spaceship compared to the R-models then. Probably due for a major update as bad as I hate to say it.

The Mack ch cab is actually more aerodynamic than the Volvo cab. Something like 2% more efficient. What scares me is Freightliner set the precedent by killing the Western Star cab and using the shakers cab. Hopefully Volvo doesn't use that idea.

I was just gunna say that....probably do like Freightliner did to Western Star......it will be a Volvo with Mack emblems. And cost more. LOL

Look at the Anthem. I'm almost scared to see how much worse it can get. Glad I'm not trucking any more.

Don't kid yourself, as new trucks go, those 49Xs are pretty good looking. Maybe the new (?) Mack will have some more trucklike eye appeal the a VNL or VHD

 I always like an 'R' model..  When I got out of R  models and DM's,  I went into a CH..  It seemed like twice as much room and I did'nt catch my fingers on the vent window, while wheeling around on job site's and tight places  ..    As far as the title of this post, "Future Mack's?"  sounds like an oxymoron, or mabey irony..      jojo
