    I've been looking at a Mack forum. Lot of great info.

    I absolutely loved the CH series, and the new rawhide series with the snub nosed flat grill and mildly sloped hood makes it look mean with bull rack pipes.

    I've just never driven one. I'm saving up money and hoping to sell my car so i can save up faster.

    I'm sure they come in other colors. Meh, to each their own. I like the way it looks myself.

    Mack still uses their own programming for different torque and HP curves though. They usually end up with a little more low end grunt with torque than the Volvo engine.

    Its already painted CRST gold too!!!! Ready for you to fleece purchase for only $1,000 a week. Go get it !!!

    That sleeper is WAY too tall...... Im a flattop guy. Now I seen a T660 midroof the other day that I wouldn't mind having.

    As for the Mack, a CH Rawhide is the only way to go. The new Coronado isn't bad either, has lots of ground clearence for job site work.
     
    DrtyDiesel and Flat Knuckle Thank this.
