Overview

What this generation is, and who it suits.

The Anthem is Mack's aerodynamic highway tractor, built around the MP8 diesel and mDRIVE automated manual. It modernized Mack's on-highway presence with a sharply styled cab while keeping the brand's reputation for tough, straightforward trucks.

Fleets choose it for driver comfort, integrated drivetrain efficiency and Mack's dealer network in the Americas. Elsewhere it is rare, so parts and service planning matter for any import operation. Used values track the North American freight cycle.

Frequently asked questions

How is the mDRIVE transmission?

Well-regarded — smooth, efficient and durable in linehaul duty, with the usual requirement of software and clutch service by trained dealers.

Is it suitable outside North America?

Only with a solid parts pipeline; the truck is capable anywhere, but support is concentrated in the Americas.
