Popular Post Bullheaded Posted Thursday at 04:22 PM Popular Post Share Posted Thursday at 04:22 PM I just don't see it fitting in with what the current Anthem is doing. I just can't picture that thing with wide base steer tires pulling live bottoms, dump trailers, and floats. Not to mention my other gripe.....if I wanted a Volvo, I would just buy a Volvo. 1 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75649-new-mack-anthem/page/3/#findComment-578091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bullheaded Posted Thursday at 04:27 PM Popular Post Share Posted Thursday at 04:27 PM They have a new feature on the Mack web site where you can split between the old and new Anthem, so you can see how much better the old one looked, LOL 1 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75649-new-mack-anthem/page/3/#findComment-578092 Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted Thursday at 09:23 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 09:23 PM Yes the old Anthem looks better but the new Anthem interior is improved IMO. Like the looks of the Mayflower cab. Volvo bought Mayflower are they going to make new cabs at this facility?

james j neiweem Posted Thursday at 09:37 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 09:37 PM The Cummins L10 is to replace the Cummins L9 and the X12. Looks like a lot of power from a small pony. So Mack is offering Cummins L7 in the MD, L10 in the Anthem, Cummins Natural Gas in the Cab overs. I wonder if the new Cummins Gas engine will be an option?

mowerman Posted Thursday at 11:17 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:17 PM That’s pretty much the way they’re going with everything these days Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75649-new-mack-anthem/page/3/#findComment-578112 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the stupid looking cyclops speedo/tach that I absolutely hated in the International HX and Cat trucks. No styling whatsoever. But like you say, don't need that anyway. New breed wouldn't know how to read gauges anyway. They just need their tablets, laptops and headsets mounted somewhere so they can telemarket call while going down the highway. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75649-new-mack-anthem/page/3/#findComment-578119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted yesterday at 03:59 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:59 AM So I guess the new Granite and Pinnacle will be a Volvo VHD? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75649-new-mack-anthem/page/3/#findComment-578120 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it sad how everything we know about trucking no longer applies, LOL Remember the days you could diagnose any problem just buy looking at your boost, pyrometer, oil temp and air and fuel restriction gauges. I miss those days. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75649-new-mack-anthem/page/3/#findComment-578132 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granite not sure What Mack should have done with the MD is offer an extended or crew cab. Something with a back seat to compete with the others for the RV hauler applications. Especially now considering here in Canada, an new loaded Superduty pickup truck is $120,000. Better off to just buy a medium duty to pull your trailers. Not much more, easier to service and will last a whole lot longer. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75649-new-mack-anthem/page/3/#findComment-578135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Well, all in all I’m glad I’m done. Most of the good days are gone. If not all of them around here I was about sick to death of driving once we lost all the CB chatter three or four years ago. Now that I am retired I really don’t like to drive anything anywhere. I cry about driving to the gym three times a week 5 miles away.
