This video shows the driving position of the mighty Ultraliner, and gives a bit of a view of the countryside as well as the state of the roads. You can also hear the V8 bopping away.

I don't know but it gives me relaxation and calm to see how you drive, it's like visual therapy. ❤

I like seeing from the driving position ! I've driven in Australia a few times. Being from the states I thighs it would be tougher than it actually was . The most trouble I had was shifting manual . Since the gear pattern is the same as here but sitting on the opposite side means the lowest gears are away from the driver. That gave me the biggest issue . And my hire vehicle had the Indicators on the right . I couldn't tell you how many times I switched on the windscreen wipers while trying to indicate . 😊 🌵

Thanks mate. It’s a bit quiet for a straight piped V8, but it still has a nice note

Lovely sound as you went through that junction and picked up speed going up through the box mate. Looking forward to seeing (and hearing) more, thanks again for the ride along. Cheers, Norm.

Thanks for watching and commenting Kym, and thanks for a snippet into your history. Most of the old trucks and engines of all manufacturers had a bit of character. They all had their own sound. I’m lucky I get to have a bit of a muck around with these old things while still using them for work.

Sounds marvelous glad to see the roads are normal. Worse " road" in Australia would have to be the Dawson Highway from Rolleston to Springsure.

I haven’t been on that one, but did a few roads around that area early last year and they were a bit rough. Quite a few of the roads in Qld black soil seem pretty ordinary

Best truck they made and.I can't even bring myself to say the name of that pathetic company that bought them and killed the mighty V8.

@oldrigsdownunder7301 Жыл бұрын

The Ultraliner was a truck well before it’s time. It’s a pity Mack was taken over by 2 companies that had their own cabover range and had no interest in keeping the Ultraliner going. They would’ve been a good B double truck with a Cat, Cummins or Detroit after the V8 was finished.
