New Mack in the fleet

I just picked up the first of four new Mack Tridents today for work. This one is a prime mover and the next three are truck and dogs.

535 Mack (Volvo) MP8 engine, 1920 foot pound/ torque. It is beautiful to drive although tomorrow will prove it when it runs loaded. It has surprisingly ended my boss' love affair with the KW brand..............that and the price tag of a new Paccar product!! :o

That's the exhaust box. It runs with Ad-Blue like a Volvo and if you check out most European trucks now they only have a pipe coming out at knee height and no stacks (zero emmissions to keep Julia happy :D), but being Americanised it is fitted with stacks.

The turning circle is phenominal!
