Mack Trucks just produced its 10,000th Mack MD Series truck at Roanoke Valley Operations in Virginia.
The Mack MD6, a Class 6 model, and the MD7, a Class 7 model, began rolling off the line on September 1, 2020.
The Mack MD Series is built specifically for medium-duty applications. With the introduction of the MD6, which has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 25,995 pounds, and the MD7, which has a GVWR of 33,000 pounds, Mack now offers a complete lineup of Class 6 to Class 8 vehicles.
Mack Trucks MD Series Models
Both MD Series models are exempt from the 12% Federal Excise Tax (FET). The MD6 and MD7 models meet the needs of a wide variety of medium-duty trucking applications, including dry van/refrigerated, stake/flatbed, dump, and tank truck vocations.
The MD6 model does not require a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) to operate for non-hazardous payloads. Available in 4x2 configurations, the MD6 and MD7 models feature a sharp wheel cut for enhanced maneuverability in tough urban settings.
The MD Series cab design features an industry-best bumper-to-back-of-cab (BBC) measurement of 103 inches. Mack modeled the MD's bold cab, hood and grille styling on the Mack Anthem, Mack’s highway model.
