I drive these macks everyday and they are awesome

[abecoulter]

is the engine break automatically engaged with the transmission system

[peppaboy]

What is the problem when you park put it in neutral and the truck don't start it cycle threw but don't s crank over I had two m drive trucks do that and had to get towed back to my company yard

I’m a company driver they have a 2016 Mack truck. First time using one and been using it for just over a month now. My biggest problem here with this truck is that when I’m getting closer to making a complete stop this truck accelerates instead of going neutral to make my stops smooth. But I have to deal with the fear of hitting another truck in front of me. How can I take this mode or fix this problem? I don’t wanna get my first accident from this problem. Help me fix this.

I had a pinnacle quad automatic best damn I've ever drove at 30 years on road or off

[GermanPanzerAirsoft]

I want manual Eaton Fuller transmission!

[Scott-tnvn]

It does not " you're loaded." When you apply air to the trailer, it automatically goes to 2nd gear loaded or empty.

[ryanmeana]

bow does the mdrive downshift tho without engine brake??

[thomasshaw]

I'd like to see em start on Ivey conditions with the automatic, still think you have more control and feedback with manual transmissions

[MrMaz]

Don't know man could you place that shifter a little farther away

[stevenmarcinkowski]

impressive but does it have a bug zapper in the Cab?

[gexoll]

I have been delivering local freight forever. Next week i'm going to buy a day cab. I am looking at a 2015 cxu613, Because the only mac I ever drove Was a box truck once once and the turning ratio was terrible. My question is For getting into tight places would you recommend this truck?

[erichaley]

Is that a pedigree mack? Looks like the dog was solid gold on the hood.i have a 2014 pennicle and I absolutely love it. Very quiet cab

[lestermunyon]

Mac is the best on fuel mileage it looks like this automatic transmission will help for all the girls I want to drive a big truck

[brockwaymt]

Does VolMack have any demo trucks that don't have mdrive? I haven't seen a ride and drive with a manual in years.

[paulconklin]

How would you lock a gear in winter time going up hills? Can you lock it into gear at any speed and how to get it to unlock from
The gear.

[dylanvalenti]

Lets see how good this truck does in nevatove temps or on the ice road. Lol

[jaimecastro]

I own one, out of my four truck s two volvos and a freightliner ...this is my favorite. smooth and quite ride fuel miles its great! I wish the key were bigger its micro small to open the tool boxes must used the same key, also the space between the steering wheel and seat its very limited, one more thing, , they should have the gear box bottons more away from the engine brake its too danger by mistake I had pushed the reverse botton insted of engine brake and the truck gets in N and there's no way to shifted back to drive...other than that I love my Mack truck..

i think mack has the best automatic, i have driven an automatic T680 and hated it. however regardless of brand automatics i dont like period. its just not a truck with a real manual eaton.

[robkiger]

So the transmission is like a school bus but more bells and whistles.
