I drive these macks everyday and they are awesome
Stephen Gauthier ,why some people say that the new Mack have many problems?
Stephen Gauthier so do I,they’re garbage. Underpowered, cheaply made. Try keeping the guard dog screen scratch free, oh wait you can’t because they use plastic instead of glass. The steering wheel blocks your view of the tach and speedo all the time too. I drive a 455 horse daycab with a 13speed 3.83’s. It’s true what they say. They run like shit, I mean a dog.
@@Seveneleven44 I'm driving a 2016 pinnacle automated trans and this truck is really good. The only downside i see is the seats, i wish they were like the cascadia's, they're very confortable.
Wow. I love it.
Does VolMack have any demo trucks that don't have mdrive? I haven't seen a ride and drive with a manual in years.
is the engine break automatically engaged with the transmission system
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?
I had a pinnacle quad automatic best damn I've ever drove at 30 years on road or off
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
Eric Haley yea the mdrive is Mack and he said the engine was.
It does not " you're loaded." When you apply air to the trailer, it automatically goes to 2nd gear loaded or empty.
Mack Is very nice🚛👍
I want manual Eaton Fuller transmission!
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
I miss them Eaton fuller 18 speeds
I'd like to see em start on Ivey conditions with the automatic,still think you have more control and feedback with manual transmissions
there is an option for manual where you can have it stay in gear and shift yourself... He said it within the first two minutes of the video??
plus thats what this video was all about what the fuck are you talking about
bow does the mdrive downshift tho without engine brake??
Yes, It shift just like if you were to be grabbing gears yourself. Its an AMT Automated Manual Transmission. Meaning it still has a clutch plate meaning longer life and better control than a typical Auto. The MDrive is amazing and very smart and much lighter than most other competitors out there. With the Manual, Performance and Auto modes you cant go wrong. There is an option for whatever the load or road may throw at you.
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.
U press the m on the shifter and it will hold it
@@MegastarKaran from other videos I have watched all you do is press the Drive button.
impressive but does it have a bug zapper in the Cab?
Steven Marcinkowski lane departure warning system
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
If run out of air while in parked' not in neutral won't cranked .
Nither be able put it in neutral..this transmission needs air to shift...
So it's very important to let your driver's knows about that.
Don't need to towed..you can transfer air from other truck..
the hell is that buzzing
Nelson V lane departure warning system
mack quality
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 know in a car you can't put it into reverse when the vehicle is moving. I assume it's the same with this. When I was driving my dad's 1973 camaro z28 with an m20 you couldn't slam it into reverse as well.
Don't know man could you place that shifter a little farther away !!!!!!!!!???????
MrMaz111 I had the same thought
If GM made the truck it would be in the Glove box..
Lets see how good this truck does in nevatove temps or on the ice road. Lol
what's the cost?
over 100K
where is navigation screen?
So the transmission is like a school bus but more bells and whistles.
I don't like those clicky switches. Would prefer the knobs over switches. Much easier
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.
Andrew Donohue that’s because it’s a Volvo transmission including the engine mp8 is a d13
not a bad looking truck one my top 4 trucks 1st Kenworth T 680. 2nd Peterbilt 579. 3rd Western Star 5700 's and last but most certainty not least the Mack Pinnacle cxu 613 now if only if only they would 86 the push button auto or that stupid flip switch auto like what have in the freightliner western stars I'd rate them higher at least on a Pete or a ken you can get them with a shifter on the floor where they belong but that's my opinion
Agree with the 5700EX. Wonder though, how does the driver seat leg room compare? I have found Mack to be tight. Have not been in the Western Star.
You guys are great but automatic transmissions be long in cars.that take off looked painful
Yeah I been look another job
Automatic is for swift drivers
I don't like the buzzing sounds. it sounds like wires seriously shorting out in the dash
Idk what that was. That's the camera. I own a pinnacle. 80,000lbs, I pass all the trucks going uphill from GA to VA.
Try it on a muddy hill twice as steep, (clay mud)
Sugy Books when are you driving on muddy 30% grade?
Mud?!?!
If I were you I would get rid of that rattlesnake in the cab.
I want one I don't care what yall say .
I miss driving my mack. I drive a Kenworth T680 now and it's without a doubt, the worst truck I've ever driven.
daniel55645 I thought kenworths were supposed to be really great trucks.
Bradley Preston They use to be. Now just over produced cookie cutter crap to compete with frieghtliner.
MACK ALL DAY. Founded in Brooklyn Baby. The real American truck. The Bulldog, watch out!
or you could just get a manual.
Mack trucks died when the CL series was discontinued
I think it did with the end of the R model, not the RD but that original style R model. It all is thanks to Volvo...enemy of SAAB and Macks alike.
rebranded volvo
Would never buy that automated bull crap. 10 speed manual or nothing.
No thanks
The worst truck i have ever driven.
You can't truly call yourself a trucker with an automatic 'I'll do all the thinking for you dumb trucker'gearbox it has to be manual or as our American cousins call it a stick shift.
Junk...drive a '17 dump truck daily
Worst truck I’ve ever driven. Fuck a Mack. I’d rather walk.
That guys is sitting so high. Stupid design. Sorry. But, there is a reason why owner operators do not like a trucks like this...
Mitsubishi Is the best truck you can buy, Not this yank trash
Fact ! Longer life & better returns on Mitsubishi we have run them for 20 years trouble free.. Macks run on 60's technology
We had macks at my last job with 3million+ miles on them.
daniel55645
No you didn't
Interiors Outlook Yes we did. There were a few with over 3million. Most had over a million. I had an 07 Pinnacle that had just crossed 900,000 miles when I quit
daniel55645
KM not miles 3 million would take 25 plus years of very heavy use. I call bull shit.
