Mack Trucks has announced updates to its MD Series of medium-duty trucks, which includes both diesel and electric models. The changes include a larger cab and new safety features.
Jonathan Randall, president of Mack Trucks North America, stated: “The launch of the refreshed Mack MD Series once again demonstrates Mack’s commitment to delivering the best medium-duty truck for our customers. Since the MD Series was introduced in 2020, Mack has continued to listen to our customers and make ongoing improvements to meet their operational needs.”
The MD Series is available in two models: the MD6 (Class 6) with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 25,995 pounds, and the MD7 (Class 7) with a GVWR of 33,000 pounds. Both are exempt from the 12% Federal Excise Tax.
Key updates to the MD Series include:
- A cab that is four inches longer, providing more seat recline and leg room
- An overhead console for additional storage
- Premium satin aluminum trim
- Improved seating with lumbar support
- Enhanced LED lighting
- New steering wheel controls for cruise control, telephone, and audio functions
New safety features include ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) with ATC (Automatic Traction Control), radio mute in reverse, and a park brake alarm.
The company has also made changes to facilitate body installations, including pre-wired body builder connections, relocated air dryer, and updated wheelbases to industry-standard Cab to Axle dimensions.
Randall added: “The MD Series continues to build on the success of our initial medium-duty offering. Built with Mack’s heritage of reliability, these enhancements will provide a more versatile and efficient truck, across a wide range of applications.”
The MD Series is designed for various applications, including dry van/refrigerated, stake/flatbed, dump, and tank truck vocations. The MD6 model does not require a Commercial Driver’s License to operate for non-hazardous payloads.
