Mack Unveils Next-Generation Granite Vocational Truck with Enhanced Configurability and Body Integration

Cab width increase

9 inches

Bumper-to-back-of-cab

113.5 inches

Optional sleeper size

44-inch mid-roof

What Happened

The next-generation Mack Granite features an all-new galvanized steel cab that is 9 inches wider at the driver's shoulders, with a reduced 113.5-inch bumper-to-back-of-cab for better maneuverability. It also offers front axle-forward and axle-back options for tailored weight distribution and bridge law compliance, plus an optional 44-inch mid-roof sleeper for extended routes.

The next-generation Granite is more configurable, more adaptable, and easier than ever to integrate with vocational bodies. It’s a focused evolution driven by the needs of fleets, body builders, and operators who rely on precision, productivity, and uptime.
Alex Lee, senior product manager, vocational and medium duty trucks, Mack Trucks
Purpose-built configurations
  • Designed for mixers, dumps, roll-offs, refuse bodies, and municipal/construction duties
  • New BodyLink IV with Parameter Configuration Tool for seamless electrical integration
  • Configurable switches, interlocks, and logic functions without additional harnesses or controllers

Why this matters

The new Granite aims to improve productivity and uptime for vocational operators by offering a truck that is easier to configure and integrate with specialized bodies, reducing build time and costs.
