What Happened

The all-new Mack Granite introduces the Mack Protect safety suite with front camera, front radar, and 270-degree radar coverage including both passenger-side and driver-side radars—a first for the vocational segment. It also features an Electronic Park Brake with rollaway protection and auto release, standard E911 auto-call, and optional side-curtain airbags.

We’re bringing safety technologies to the North American vocational market that have never been available before. Features like the ePark Brake, 270-degree radar coverage and E911 auto-call are going to make a real difference in protecting drivers who work in some of the most challenging environments.
Alex Lee, Mack Trucks senior product manager for vocational and medium duty

The Granite is powered by the new Mack MP13 engine delivering up to 540 HP and 1,950 lb.-ft. of torque, with up to 3% improved fuel efficiency. It offers the updated Mack mDRIVE automated manual transmission with 30% faster shifts, and also a Cummins X10 engine option. The truck features a new MaxRide air suspension for improved ride quality and a larger galvanized steel cab with nine inches of additional width.

The interior was designed with input from over 30 professional drivers, featuring a driver-centric layout with wrap-around controls, a new digital instrument cluster, and available premium air-shock seat with massage and heating/ventilation. Connectivity is provided by Mack Connect telematics with over-the-air updates and the MyMack mobile app.

Why this matters

The new Granite brings safety features previously unavailable in vocational trucks, including E911 auto-call and driver-side radar, improving protection for drivers in demanding work environments.
