Well I had a Freightliner and trust me, downtime is horrible, one month for simple things. Now I have a Mack and it only took 3 days and is running perfectly
i'm a company driver (local). they lease cascadias from ryder. POS trucks. if i wasnt getting paid well, i would work somewhere else. junk, especially for hauling milk
I have a cascadia and it’s pretty so idk about the one you drove and I driven both before but I would say Volvo does have a better transmission tho now who has a automatic transmission that is almost undriveable is paccar it’s dangerous slow at shifting it doesn’t want to get out if it’s own way.
MACK Hands down Im Old School and Love A Truck That looks And Feels Like A Truck I also Love The MACK Name and The mack looks So much better it's more unique not so basic and everywhere and very Aggressive Truck like while fresh and New Even tho Mack Is with Volvo I still love Mack
One of the Mack Trucks production facilities is in Wacol, a suburb of Brisbane, the capital city of the Australian state of Queensland. They build some impressive trucks there - models include the MetroLiner, Anthem, Trident, SuperLiner and Titan. Three different engines are available: Cummins ISL/L9 (MetroLiner only), Mack MP8 (Anthem and Trident) and Mack MP10 (SuperLiner and Titan)
Did they stop building the E-9 down there also? I know up here in the states when all the other engines went electronic they stopped producing them here
@@Retired88Msadly, they did.... the last iteration, the EA9 (the E9 with electronic controls) was not real popular so they dropped the V8 completely and went to the Cummins Signature and the Caterpillar C16
@@JoeHupp I drove 2 of them up here in the states The first was in the special edition 1985 Mack Magnum Superliner ; the black one with the yellow and red stripes with Magnum on the hood. It had the cable throttle so the air ride cab would work but was always being adjusted for stretching. This one was putting 500 horses on the ground. The second was a 92 Superliner but this one had the Williams air throttle and with the air pressure turned up just right I had 690 horses on the ground
I normally like Freightliner but my company got all new 2020 Cascadias back in '19 and mine has been a lemon this whole time. It's been in the shop over and over for the same problems. We only have about 2 dozen in the fleet and even the owner of the company says mine is cursed.
As a O/O we have a coupe that do team driving, they just purchased a new Western star 5900 and it’s went to the shop 3 weeks after they purchased it. Within the last 15 months it’s been in the shop 5 times. 1 they were down for 3 weeks. A western star is a glorified Cascadia. Trust me, Mack is coming on strong and has been. That Anthem is different, and bad ass
None of these new trucks even compare to the older ones...unless your priorities are heated seat and electronic gizmos...These things are supposed to be work trucks , How does that work if you are in the shop all the time trying to find which wiring harness won't let the truck move.?...Expensive plastic crap...give me a new B or R model Mack , mechanical diesel engine and an 18 speed...or even the FL model Freightshaker with a 3406b ...at least they were cheap and reliable...
Hey I'm a new trucker and I'm really curious about the mack, I've driven a peterbilt, volvo, and kenworth so far, and I assumed the mack would handle like a heavy kenworth and freightliner a really cheap volvo but you say you prefer the Freightliner?! I'd love to hear your experience with em and how they ride
I've driven a 22 Cascadia and a 23 anthem. As far as driver comfort and visibility the Cascadia wins hands down. Anthems are tiny inside and their sound system sucks hard. Not sure where the rugged claims are coming from with the Mack their bumpers fold easier than paper.
Mack america isn't that rugged, and mack Australia isn't as rugged as they used to be. The mack superliner, trident and vision are the more rugged end of Mack as a brand
The freightliner trucks I’ve driven over the last 6 months have been complete garbage. Meanwhile I know somebody who owns 12 Mack anthems, gets consistently 8+ mpg, with an engine and transmission that solid as a rock, as well as no major breakdowns yet
If I were to buy one of those trucks simple go Mack they're built better they're more reliable and tend to to have less breakdowns which means less time= more productivity. Like the saying goes if the wheels ain't turning you ain't earning. Which is why for the best bang for your buck Mack wins out hands down. Freightliner are only good for fleets who buy in bulk and can afford to have 2 or 3 trucks down. Let's put it this way there's a reason why most owner/ operators tend to go with Kenworth and peterbilt and Mack.
I have always been a fan of the Mac name and truck especially as a little kid living in Tulsa Oklahoma area we happen to have a Mack truck Distribution Center I enjoyed looking at them but when it came to the everyday was just get it done and being able to get parts and service out on the road without even thinking twice about it it's always been Freightliner you can order any combination of engine you want but far as cabs being able to move around in them tiny ass docks where the Union drivers don't want to move their ass
Funny, I drove both trucks, the Mack got better fuel economy and the ride was very comfortable. The Freightliner was just as good on fuel and a comfortable ride. The narrator this comparison kept referring to mack as a “off road design”, so what?! Mack is a tuff truck and reliable. So is the Freightliner. I personally own a mack, not the anthem, good ole squarenose mack. This video is not 100% accurate.
Iv drove a mack pinicle with supper bs with the mp 8 505 with a 18 speed that truck would pull with 140000 pounds loved that truck drive a mack grant now tamdem temdam mixer truck works good for the job it dose
In life we chose what we like In business we have to chose whatever put ((Money in the Pocket)) Im a Volvo guy But in reality a truck is like a wife Depends how Jesus Bless it!!! You can have problems with every truck You name the brands!!!
After having driven a freightliner argosy with a cat c15 and Mack trident with an mp8 (Volvo running gear) both on and off highway conditions, Freightliner too plastic compared to Mack Mack engines not that great compared to the likes of cat Cummins Detroit etc Mack has the looks and a more comfortable ride compared to an argosy
(Before watching video with my knowledge) Well. Freightliner had a fuck ton more parts and shops that would fix it. Mack(Volvo) not a lot of people work on Volvos. I would rather drive a underpowered base option cascadia. Then a max spec Mack.
Yeah sorry but freightliner is cheaply made. Transmission is not a good mate with either . Only thing I have to say is I would rather use a Volvo or kenworth. I have not used a mack so I cannot say much.
Neither. You've clearly never driven a Scania r730 or volvo fh of any sort. You get out not exhausted unlike the American stuff. And the electronic stuff from Mercedes is literally waiting to fail.
@@saabrailfan310 ride quality, the DD 15 is a piece of shit that cost millions of dollars to fix. The one boxes are awful 27,000 to fix a one box forget about it plastic everywhere garbage.
Mack is the most underrated truck of usa

I love the shape of the mack trucks
My Cascadia failed after 200k miles im back in a W900 now!
Same motor…
@@KSE828 No the cascadia had a detroit dd15 the W900 has a Cummins
1st the Mack truck is very wonderful , terrific and nice 👍🏻 ❤
Volvo rides much better than Mercedes (MB's automatic gearbox are awful) therefore I would choose Mack as a Volvo supported brand.

Mack Anthem ❤Lego also released it, it's beautiful. Lego 42078
Mack used to be great trucks. At one Mack made engines, transmissions,axles, and suspension. Now all they make is a cab.

Can you do a show on Australian trucks like the Mack Titan, Superliner and Trident.
Mack for me.
I have driven Make trucks for many years and feel they are much heavier duty with a much longer useful life therefore a less cost per mile.

Oddly enough, statistics show modern trucks are more reliable and spend less time in shops than the older "simple" trucks.
I just got out of a Freightliner (19). My company put me in new Mack. Not even close... Freightliner!!!
how do you like that freightliner cab raddle
@@topgun1457 I had that truck almost 4 years, never had the rattle

YEEEESSS!! Finally price included
Mack for sure! Less breakdowns and please don’t say it’s a Volvo! It’s Mack power train and assembled by Volvo
I've driven a 22 Cascadia and a 23 anthem. As far as driver comfort and visibility the Cascadia wins hands down. Anthems are tiny inside and their sound system sucks hard. Not sure where the rugged claims are coming from with the Mack their bumpers fold easier than paper.

I like the Mack truck, but no manual gearbox option ruins it for me. I won't buy a truck with an automatic transmission.
You can get still get a manual transmission in a Mack but not one built by Mack
Eaton, Fuller and Spicer along with Allison fully automatic s.
Freightliner vs t680
I drove many freighters an every one of them had issues.I think they are junk KW’s and peterbuilt’s are better trucks
If you said you like freight liners in a pub in Australia the bar tender would spit in your drink
Altho good video bro :)
Thanks happy you liked it
@@TruckTropia np bro man i enjoy alot,when i grow up i wanted to be a truck driver
Freightliner!
Cascadia should be pronounced like cascAdia like the second letter a pronounce it as capital
Mack has a better radio system
Mack isn’t Mack anymore
Another awesome video
Honduras ❤
The freightliner trucks I’ve driven over the last 6 months have been complete garbage. Meanwhile I know somebody who owns 12 Mack anthems, gets consistently 8+ mpg, with an engine and transmission that solid as a rock, as well as no major breakdowns yet

Isuzu vs Hino please.

I would have to go with the Cascadia. It’s a better type of truck compared to the rest, excluding Scania.
Western star vs kenworth
Dealer network is what matters 2 me
I like FREIGHTLINER better more room inside 💯💯💯

Freightliner 👌
Mack all day...
Hi
I ented a truck driver i am 14 years old
There’s no point in comparing Western star. It’s all Cascadia. Peterbilt and Kenworth it’s all the same. Mack Volvo it’s all the same.
Mack is the best!
What's the difference??? They are both junk plastic trucks with little hoods
Freightliners are the cheapest to fix and maintain
In life we chose what we like In business we have to chose whatever put ((Money in the Pocket)) Im a Volvo guy But in reality a truck is like a wife Depends how Jesus Bless it!!! You can have problems with every truck You name the brands!!!

Freightliner too plastic compared to Mack
Mack engines not that great compared to the likes of cat Cummins Detroit etc
Mack has the looks and a more comfortable ride compared to an argosy
Cascadia has better storage and is bigger inside for sure!! Besides that Mack all day

Dime . Maxitorque and rear axle are de Best in the industry
This isn’t true. It’s a Mack power train but assembled by Volvo
@@geoffreystreater4394 the last mack motor was the E series. The MP series is all Volvo.
Ill go with Mack built better love the design i always be a Mack guy
