Mack Trucks has introduced the all-new Mack Anthem®, a redesigned truck aimed at regional-haul applications. The new model focuses on improved maneuverability, better fuel efficiency and enhanced driver comfort.
Compared to Mack’s Pioneer model, the Anthem features a shorter bumper-to-back-of-cab length — 113.5 inches versus 125.5 inches — making it better suited for navigating tight and urban spaces. Its redesigned hood improves forward visibility, reducing the risk of front-corner collisions.

Fuel efficiency is up to 10% better than the previous Anthem, potentially saving fleets around $5,000 per truck annually in fuel costs. The truck is offered in day cab, 44-inch sleeper, and 64-inch sleeper configurations, with a cab nine inches wider than the prior model. Driver comfort is addressed with features like ventilated and heated seats, massage functions, and stand-up sleepers with premium mattresses and blackout curtains.
Safety updates include an optional digital mirror system to reduce blind spots, a front airbag and an Integrated Curtain Airbag designed to protect drivers in rollovers. Driver assistance systems have been shown to reduce near-miss incidents by 43%.
The Anthem also incorporates Mack Connect telematics for enhanced fleet visibility. Features like the MyMack driver app enable remote cab climate control and vehicle monitoring. Over-the-air software updates and a predictive maintenance system help reduce unplanned stops by 20%, while integration with Mack’s GuardDog Connect cuts overall downtime by 37%.
The new Anthem targets industries such as bulk hauling, dry bulk, food and beverage distribution, general freight, and less-than-truckload services, especially where weight sensitivity is a factor.
Orders open in August 2025, with production starting in January 2026. Demonstration models will be available at Mack dealers nationwide.
This launch follows extensive customer feedback and aims to meet the evolving needs of regional-haul operations with a focus on efficiency, safety, and driver experience.
