After unveiling its newest heavy-hauler at the ConExpo show in early March, Mack Trucks introduced the Titan and its exclusive 16L powerplant to the on-highway market at the Mid-America Trucking Show. The company also rolled out a new high-end “Rawhide” edition of its Pinnacle long-nose conventional aimed at the owner-operator market.

The new Titan is intended for off-highway and on-highway heavy-hauling applications such as logging, severe bulk hauling and heavy-equipment transport. It is the only Mack truck powered by the company's new MP10 16L diesel, which produces up to 605 hp. and peak torque of 2,060 lb.-ft.

On the outside, the newest Pinnacle edition features a Texas chrome bumper, stainless steel cab and sleeper skirts, bullhorn exhaust stacks, and other chrome accessories. The Rawhide edition's interior offers button-tuck, ultra-leather seats and brushed nickel on the dash.
