What Happened
The Mack Keystone is a new vocational tractor built on the legacy of the Mack Pinnacle, sharing advanced technology and safety features with the Mack Pioneer and Anthem. It offers higher ground clearance, a robust suspension, and the Mack Maxride suspension for demanding conditions. The truck is available in axle-forward and axle-back configurations, with three cab options: day cab, 44-inch sleeper, and 64-inch sleeper.
“The Mack Keystone represents our commitment to providing customers in agriculture, construction and vocational markets with a truck that’s as capable on rough terrain as it is on the highway.”
“The Keystone is designed for terrain versatility; it thrives where the roads are unpaved, uneven or even nonexistent, then transitions seamlessly to highway driving.”
