I currently own a 2009 prostar skyrise sleeper and I'm thinking about buying a Mack.
I'm not sure if I can afford a new Anthem maybe a 2016-2018.
Any susjestions what to look for or stay away from. I would need a double bunk.
Thanks

Just in case you don't know. Volvo own Mack and it's Volvo engine painted red. Maybe they have Cummins engine as option. The Mack engine and automatic transmission are all Volvo.

The grey and gold motors are long gone. But still, if i had to go new-ish I'd probably have to go volvo-mack. Out of all the new EPA turds they seem to have the least amount of issuesAnother Canadian driver and earnies2 Thank this.

I’m not sure how useful this reply will be, but I drove a 2014 Mack Pinnacle with the M-Drive auto. I know it’s basically all Volvo or whatever, but I have never driven and don’t know anything about Volvo. but I gotta say It was definitely the smoothest, quietest truck I ever drove. I’m no fan of auto transmissions, but if I had to have one I would take that Mack M Drive any day over any of that Eaton or Detroit DT whatever crap. As far as reliability I can’t really say anything because I only drove that truck for about six months, and that one was emissions deleted.

When Mack left the superliners they went downhill in my opinion.

The M drive is not an automatic transmission its a automated shift 12 speed ... do you remember what you got for fuel millage?Another Canadian driver and Kyle G. Thank this.

The superliner was a great truck I had the pleasure of driving one pulling a RGN. I also drove a 5 star General that was another great truck.....Another Canadian driver and Judge Thank this.
