Theyre junk. Plain and simple

@@RixifyTV I’ve never driven one full time is why I ask. It’s a shame R-models we’re know for being able to put any driver in them they were so well built.5-6 speeds a monkey could do that. I started in heavy wreckers and there were a lot of Mack’s,Louisvilles and T-800s. When you say junk it’s what components,fit and finish,paint???

it's not worth listening or even responding to that guy. It's just another one of those narrow minded dumb4asses that think their oppinions are somehow (facts) or whatever. I don't know why there aren't all that many of them. But i do know that a lot of people are fine with driving them. Even the hard-core manual fans often give credits to the Mdrive automated transmission. As long as their not the childish manchilds that only want 1 thing and nothing else and can't handle it when it's not that 1 thing they want. And i see a lot of people liking the low-end torque the engine gives. They're probably not the best out there and definitely have their weaker spots. But let's be honest. What truck doesn't. Even the best of the best trucks out there, won't satisfy every indifidual person, and will have their weaker spots. My only guess as to why they're not around as much as (for example, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Freightliner and so on). Might have something to do with Mack simply not being as big of a brand. As well as the Anthem not being as fuel efficient as the Freightliners or as stylish as the Peterbilts and such. So they just kinda fall short on both sides. That doesn't nessasarily make them (bad) though. They're just not for anyone in particular. Those who like it, like it. For their own reasons. Those who don't. They just don't. Which is fine. As long as they don't act all child-like and rip on it just for the sake of wanting to hate it. Which happens often unfortunately. While they rarely give a decent or reasonable reason as to why.

@@fuzzybutkus8970 It's the same engine and transmission that are in the Volvo's, albeit with seemingly different programming for shifting. So it starts with the best OTR transmission in the industry from the get-go. Each one of the Mack Anthem sleepers I've sold has amazed the end-user (who is sometimes not the buyer, but the fleet driver who the owner of the company bought the truck for) with the comfort of the drive. In that, they are so different than Mack's previous sleeper offering. I don't know why the RixifyTV believes they are junk; they hold together well with that Mack-truck toughness, and many of them (if taken care of) will last hundreds of thousands of miles beyond Cummins and Paccar-powered trucks in the years to come. And, they are 100% American manufactured. Not built in Mexico or Canada like Peterbilts, Freightliners, Internationals, etc. So perhaps RixifyTV isn't an American, and he's supporting his local country's economy?

@@DannyHanny_ Mack’s have always been known for their workmanship and dare I say it the ability to put just about any driver in one and the truck will take it. I started in 84’ and a lot of the R-models were still around in construction. I started driving heavy wreckers. A ton of old Mack’s around in that line of work.lol. A company in Chicago named Sams seemed like they saved them up to haul construction trailers.

💥👍💥

thats a volvo dd13 rebadged engine check out a current model and you will see same engine and transmission with identical push button transmission pad

Greetings. I believe that this truck was red from the factory. It does have the Mack MP8 in it that is basically the same as the Volvo D13. We're in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Nunca habrá otro mejor

If we get them for good prices, we sell them for good prices.
