combines productivity, reliability,
low cost of ownership and fuel
economy into a road-eating machine.

Highly customizable

No matter your haul, Mack makes
it easy to optimize your Pinnacle
DayCab for anything the job
demands.

Bolted strength

Like all of our trucks, Pinnacle
DayCabs are built strong to boost
owner satisfaction. Mack uses
Huck bolts to increase reliability
and reduce rattles and squeaks.

Chassis configuration

Pinnacle DayCab’s chassis is
designed to provide 50-degree wheel
cuts. This saves you the grief and
fatigue that come from ineffectively
maneuvering tight spots.

Fitted frame

Rely on the right size frame to save
weight and increase fuel economy.
Mack delivers lighter, stronger frames
that are made to fit your truck.

Unstoppable stability

Mack is dedicated to ensuring your
safety on the road. Your truck’s
low center of gravity spreads weight
across all four corners to keep your
cab balanced. At the same time,
our Mack Roll Stability Advantage
by Bendix and exceptional brakes
(including available air disc brakes)
keep you in total control on the
mean streets.

Axle configurations

Available in single, tandem and tri-axle configurations,
Pinnacle DayCabs can be customized with multiple
drive and auxiliary axle combinations.

Higher standards.
Lower emissions.

MACK® MP®7 ENGINE

The 11-liter MP7 engine is built for optimal
fuel efficiency. This lightweight engine has
evolved to run even cleaner. It emits less
CO

than ever before while maintaining an

2

HP range from 325 to 425 HP and torque
ratings from 1,260 –1,560 lb.-ft.

16

MACK® MP®8 ENGINE

The MP8 blends fuel economy, power and increased uptime.
The latest evolution of this 13-liter engine is designed to meet
even stricter emissions standards and deliver optimal HP range
from 415 to 505 HP, with torque from 1,560–1,860 lb.-ft.

Turbocompound
Our MP8 Turbocompound engines incorporate a turbine to
extract energy from exhaust gases that would otherwise be lost
as heat and convert that energy to additional torque on the
crankshaft, improving overall engine efficiency. (Available 2017)

Keep your standards high and emissions low. This next
evolution of Mack MP engines is purposefully designed
to provide the power and fuel economy your truck needs
while meeting new, even stricter emissions standards.

MACK® WAVE PISTON

Mack’s innovative Wave piston delivers a 2 percent improvement
in fuel economy and a 90 percent reduction in soot. The design
of the piston’s bowl enables more complete fuel combustion by
mixing air and fuel better than standard piston designs. It’s a
small change with major results.

MACK® CLEARTECH™ ONE

Mack knows emissions control systems, so we took ours one
step further to optimize the overall package—and the result is
ClearTech One. This new and improved exhaust aftertreatment
system (EATS) is lighter and takes up less space, which saves
fuel and money while improving flexibility. And it continues our
tradition of low maintenance, increased uptime and lower total
cost of ownership—areas where Mack excels.

Automatically shift
your thinking.

Make way for the two-pedal automated
manual transmission that maximizes
driver productivity and helps you boost
your business with better fuel economy.
The Mack® mDRIVE® is built for Pinnacle™
trucks to make highway hauling easier,
safer and smarter.

SMOOTHEST SHIFTING
ON THE ROAD

There’s no clutch pedal. The gearshift is
operated by an intelligent shift pad module
and managed by sophisticated electronics.
Mack mDRIVE delivers smooth shifts every
time and can be operated by more drivers
with less training than a traditional manual
transmission.

20

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

Featuring innovative software and a
network of sensors, mDRIVE continuously
monitors changes in grade (both up and
down), vehicle speed, throttle position,
acceleration, torque demand and combined
vehicle weight. With the engine and
transmission in constant communication,
there’s no compromise.

INCREASED UPTIME

Mack mDRIVE automatically selects the
best gear for optimized fuel economy at
the desired road speed. This puts less
stress on the driveline for longer life and
less wear. Based on proven technology,
this transmission requires minimal service
and significantly reduced maintenance.

MACK MAXITORQUE® ES T300

Weighs less.
Carries more.

Roll over your toughest challenges. This
heavy-duty automated manual transmission
is available with an extended range of
gears—including 12-, 13- and 14-speed
versions—and offers up to 2,060 lb.-ft.
of torque with horsepower ratings from
325 to 605 HP.

Shift to a higher
standard.

The Mack Maxitorque ES transmission
is a rugged competitor. It features the
industry’s only triple countershaft design,
offers a one-piece aluminum case and
boasts the most PTO mounting options
out there.

Purposeful power

This transmission delivers the desired
torque to provide instantaneous pulling
power to match the demands of the most
severe roads.

Smooth shifting

It features a shift rail profile and light-touch
design that allow for smooth transitions
in and out of neutral with each shift. And
because it’s so smooth, drivers experience
increased comfort.

Increased productivity

The mDRIVE HD is offered with additional
low ratios so that drivers are more easily
able to adapt to whatever the job demands,
allowing for increased productivity and
performance.

Lighter than the competition

Even though mDRIVE HD is built strong,
it’s hundreds of pounds less than
competitors, so you can ditch the dead
weight and increase your payload.

Unmatched maneuverability

It offers lo and lo-lo ratios for exceptional
maneuverability and slow speed control.
Plus, our exclusive, shiftable, multi-speed
reverse provides advanced precision.

21

Cruise into
complete control.

Mack’s Predictive Cruise Control
combines the Mack® mDRIVE®
transmission and GPS with a system
that learns on the go. It tracks, memorizes
and stores routes so that next time
you travel those roads, your truck knows
exactly what to do. This makes your job
easier and your day faster, more productive
and more efficient.

INCREASED FUEL
SAVINGS

When you drive a memorized route,
Predictive Cruise Control is able to use its
knowledge of the road’s topography to
adjust vehicle speed, engine torque and
gear, reducing fuel consumption by up
to 1 percent per drive cycle.

OPTIMIZED CONTROL FOR ANY GRADE

IMPROVED SAFETY

Predictive Cruise Control takes the reins
when it comes to managing terrain,
allowing drivers to focus on the conditions
around them.

SMOOTHER DRIVE

Predictive Cruise Control knows what
hills to expect, and when to expect them.
It’s prepared to engage the right gears
at the right times so that your truck—and
entire trip—runs more smoothly.

Before the climb

To gain momentum, Predictive
Cruise Control increases speed
when it knows a hill is coming.

22

During the climb

It applies stored knowledge to
avoid unnecessary downshifts
for a smoother crest that uses
less fuel.

On the crest

It prevents unnecessary acceleration
at the top of the hill.

Before the downhill

The driveline temporarily
disengages, allowing the truck
to roll—minimizing fuel
consumption.

23

On the downhill

It knows when the grade ends,
so it can gently apply the engine
brake to control speed.

In the hollows

For downhills that become
immediate uphills, it allows the
truck to roll, gain momentum
and climb with less effort.
