Mack Trucks has been in business for more than a century. Over the years they've built a bit of everything, including buses, trains, APCs, and fire trucks. The Mack tradition of introducing innovations into their products – theirs were the first trucks with air and oil filters, drive shafts, and power brakes – continues to this day. Just as importantly, their trucks are still built with the power and tenacity that earned them the “Bulldog” nickname long before the bulldog mascot ever graced their trucks. So a Mack isn't your ordinary truck; it's a vehicle with a pedigree.
The Mack R series was introduced in 1966 as a replacement for the beloved B series. By this point, Mack had learned from the experience of producing tens of thousands of vehicles for the Allied war effort in World War II, and thousands more of the B-model Macks. Then, as now, the Mack was truly an all-purpose vehicle.
This 1998 model has only had one owner and has been well-maintained for its entire service life. It only has 62,497 miles, and 4,350 engine hours. It is equipped with a low-mileage E-7 Mack 350 engine, and has a 18,000lb front axle, 58,000lb rears, air and pintel hook for pulling a trailer, and a 14ft 6in Beau Roc Steel Dump Body. The Mack 12-speed transmission with a 4:64 gear ratio, and a low-mileage Mack E7 350 engine -- in other words, the stuff that counts when you count on your truck -- are also in top form. The truck has a tare weight of 26,800 lbs. Its model number (RD688SX) breaks down as follows: RD: Heavy Duty R 688: Chassis and engine designation S: Six Wheel Chassis X: Extreme Duty (in case the Heavy Duty part wasn't emphatic enough for you) In short, this truck will survive anything you throw at it, and the little bulldog on the hood will still glower at you, as if to say, "Is that all you've got?"
Mack is as well-known today as it was a century ago for its tradition of power and innovation. Its commitment to quality and longevity also should not be overlooked. Mack trucks from the 1940's through the 1960's can be spotted, to this day – some with bungee cord and duct tape strategically placed – still chugging stubbornly along. That bulldog may not be pretty, but it's roadworthy, with a big heart that just won't quit.
