The Mack MD6, a Class 6 model, and the MD7, a Class 7 model, began rolling off the line Sept. 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 lbs., and the MD7, which has a GVWR of 33,000 lbs., Mack now offers a complete lineup of Class 6 to Class 8 vehicles. Both MD Series models are exempt from the 12 percent Federal Excise Tax (FET).
“The entire RVO team is committed to developing and building the MD Series to meet the high-quality standards that customers expect from a Mack truck,” says Antonio Servidoni, Mack vice president, medium-duty operations. “We are extremely proud to represent the Mack brand in the Roanoke Valley in Virginia.”
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 in. Mack modeled the MD's cab, hood and grille styling on the Mack Anthem, Mack’s highway model.
