Nice pic! I love these Titans, I just hope they can sell them. My Mack dealer is "stuck" with 3 of them, and from what I hear, many other dealers across the country are as well.

Ok, so it looks ok, but it is no longer a Mack. Volvo motor, bye bye mack motors, git it time & it will have a big diagonal bar in the grille. Not to mention being severely over priced for what it is. my 2 cents ap40rocktruck

MP-7, MP-8 & MP-10, Volvo engines, Volvo designed Volvo manufactured. On a recent tour of the Macungie assembly plant, only saw one all mack chassis, at least the basics. Mack axles, Mack steel springs, and six spoke wheels. All the others were a mix of axles, on a variety of air suspension, Ridewell, Chalmers, & Hendrickson. Allison & fuller transmissions, mostly Volvo motors, with a few small Cummins here & there. Ap40

Oh ok sorry, a friend of mine told me once that there were only Mack engines in the CL's and I thought it was the same thing for the Titan.

Man that reminds me of what happened to the Autocar (White) Trucks... I just hated when I saw the diagonal bar in the grill and then, the Autocar logo on the side of the hood... It's sad to think this is what the Mack Company is headed towards... -Mark

Just as a note, those Cummins engines you saw were Cummins Nautral Gas engines. And I don't believe for a minute that Mack's will "evolve" into Volvo's. Volvo has done a lot of things, but they aren't that stupid. They know how important the Mack name is to the construction industry. We must also keep in mind, that if Volvo didn't buy Mack, it wouldn't be here today. Even though the Volvo and Mack engines are built in the same plant and share the same engine block, they have their unique differences. Here's another pic of that Titan show truck.
