Mack Trucks
Adding to its lineup of over-the-road heavy trucks, Mack Trucks has introduced the Vision Day Cab.

It boasts a host of new standard and optional features that are perfect for LTL carriers, local haul and vocational-on-highway customers. The Vision Day Cab will be available in tractor and straight truck versions in 4X2 and 6X4 configurations.

Headlining the Vision DayCab’s innovations is a newly designed door, with larger side windows and a large lower peep window to significantly enhance overall visibility. The door also includes improved storage space and new, contemporary styling. The new steering column and available seats afford operators generous belly room, while new mirror offerings with breakaway arms, and improved headlamp performance, help reduce maintenance costs. New interior storage features also will be a welcome convenience for DayCab customers.

Powering the new vehicles will be the highway version of Mack’s new ASET (Application Specific Engine Technology) engine family. Horsepower ratings will be available from 310 to 460, and will include a new 380/410 horsepower MaxiCruise‚ engine.

For pure highway use, including regional and local hauling assignments, the Vision DayCab may be spec’d with lightweight MaxAir suspensions and 12,000-lb front and 40,000-lb rear axles.

For vocational-on-highway applications, such as flatbed, dump trailer and heavy duty bulk hauling, the new vehicle offers several options – two frames, an inside channel reinforcement, painted steel and stainless steel clad aluminum bumpers, 14,600-lb front and 46,000-lb rear axles, air and Mack® camelback suspensions, and the new Maxitorque T300 series of Mack transmissions.

Overall, the new vehicle offers GVW ratings ranging from 35,000 to 60,600 lb.

Ramp-up production begins in June, at which time the Vision DayCab will be ready for limited orders through all Mack sales and dealer representatives. Full production begins in October.
