Mack Trucks recently hosted a virtual deep-dive session about the Mack® MD Series of medium-duty trucks for more than 300 people who represented more than 200 different municipalities and companies, as well as their Mack dealers.
The event highlighted features of the MD Series exterior, such as sharp wheel cut for maneuverability and industry-best bumper-to-back-of-cab measurement. A highlight on interior features included a standard air-ride driver’s seat and an ergonomically designed dash. Mack designed the event to increase product knowledge about the Mack MD Series. The event also allowed customers to more completely understand why the MD is best suited for their needs.
“With the addition of the Mack MD Series, Mack now offers a complete lineup of Class 6 to 8 vehicles, enabling us to deliver the right truck for our customers’ needs, whatever that may be,” says Jonathan Randall, senior vice president of North American sales for Mack Trucks. “Customer response has been outstanding, and we look forward to delivering on our Mack commitment to offering the best solution for each customer.”
The session included important product information related to exterior and interior features and benefits as well as a Q&A session with Mack executives. The session was offered virtually and was filmed at Mack World Headquarters in Greensboro, North Carolina. Customers represented municipalities, beverage, construction, sand and gravel, and fire.
The Mack MD Series is currently in full production at Mack’s Roanoke Valley Operations (RVO) facility in the Roanoke Valley, Virginia.
THE MD SERIES
The Class 6 Mack MD6 has a GVWR of 25,995 lbs. The Class 7 Mack MD7 has a GVWR of 33,000 lbs. Both models are exempt from the 12% Federal Excise Tax (FET). Both the MD6 and MD7 models are available in 4×2 configurations.
These new medium-duty trucks will meet the needs of applications requiring dry van/refrigerated, stake/flatbed, dump, and tank truck vocations. Furthermore, the MD6 model does not require a CDL to operate for non-hazardous payloads.
The Mack MD6 and MD7 models were designed with the driver in mind. Both offer comfortable and ergonomic features to ensure a quiet ride. The Mack Anthem® inspired the exterior of the MD Series, matching its styling through the grille and hood design.
Geotab Go supports the MD Series offering access to Mack OneCall™ agents, available 24/7 at the Mack Uptime Center.
The MD Series models feature a sharp wheel cut for optimal maneuverability in tough-to-navigate urban settings. The MD6 and MD7 models offer a BBC measurement of 103 inches. They also have a clear back of cab and top of frame rail to make it easy for body builder adaptations.
Additionally, the Mack Body Builder Support Team and the Mack Body Builder Portal will support the Mack MD Series. This offers customers, body builders, and dealers the tools needed for a quick upfit process of truck bodies and equipment. Mack MD model information on the Body Builder Portal is currently available.
The Mack Body Builder Portal includes manuals, wiring diagrams, Technical and Maintenance Council (TMC) recommended practices, and diagnostic tool information.
