Seven Special Features of Mack Commercial Trucks

If you want the biggest bang for your buck, choose a Mack commercial truck for your business. The trucks' performance and design are based on an enduring dedication to customer satisfaction. The results are trucks with high performance, energy efficiency, sleek designs, but extremely comfortable and user-friendly.

Megatron himself in the film “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” chose to be a Mack truck—an allusion to the durability and strength of the company's products.
Here are some unique features that make Mack Commercial Trucks very special:
 
Helps protect the planet
New models of Mack trucks make use of the Mack ClearTech Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) in compliance with the 2010 EPA emissions regulations. Through the SCR, harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx), are broken down into its components: water vapor and nitrogen. The Mack ClearTech Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) delivers near-zero NOx emissions.

 
The Mack Advantage Chassis
Some Mack trucks are built on the patented Mack Advantage chassis, which enables them to carry heavier loads because of the addition of four frame rails and other Mack-engineered cross-members. It allows for greater maneuverability with newly-introduced greater wheel cuts. You can also expect to drive in complete comfort with the reduced noise and vibration levels.
 
Support and Customer Service
Should problems come up, Mack's trained technicians manning their phone lines can help you resolve those issues efficiently in the quickest possible time, and even send help faster than any other in the industry through their network of parts and services centers scattered across the country. All this with a touch of care and humanity—another symbol of dedication to customer satisfaction.
 
Efficient Exteriors
Mack commercial trucks splash shields keep the engine snug from the elements. This produces a longer component life, and enables you to save on repairs and replacement costs. The splash shields also lift with the hood for easier access for repairs.
A special safety feature called the Mack Road Stability Advantage System is designed to protect all trucks from rolling over. You can drive with confidence and the assurance of safety.
 
Comfortable Interiors
Mack commercial trucks are now designed with a curved wraparound dashboard, with gauges and controls conveniently placed for easy access. The Mack optional Co-Pilot display allows you to view real-time fuel economy and trip data, detailed maintenance and fault summaries, and supplemental sensor readings.

 
Durability
Mack trucks have the longest lifespan and they have the best resale value in the industry. With their custom designs, they are able to serve the specific needs of their customers as well.
 
The Bulldog Emblem
Need we say more? The Mark brand itself carries a value that is recognized industry-wide. Every Mack truck is a badge of true prestige and quality.

How to Find Commercial Trucks Online

Choosing a commercial truck from hundreds of websites can be quite daunting and tricky for some, and even more so for first-timers. The payoff is good, however, because once you find the truck that squarely matches your need, chances are, you will love that truck as much as your pet dog.
Here are some guidelines to follow when finding that truck on the Internet:
 
Find out what you need
Commercial trucks come in many shapes and sizes, and each is designed for a specific purpose. Say yours is a movers company, you might very well need a large box truck. Now if you are already sure about what you need (or if you know a bit more than the average person about commercial trucks), and you have a specific make, model or fuel type in mind, a lot of dealership websites allow you to key in those information in their product search box so that you get to narrow down your choices. Some other bits of information that you can use are color, mileage, engine and even price range. As you can see, it is trucks galore out there but worry not because these websites are your friend.


Where to look
There are websites that sell used and/or brand new commercial trucks. One of the most popular sites for used trucks is eBay Motors. Online classified ads are also a good source.
Online dealers associations can easily be found through search engines. Here at Globaltruckandmachine.com, you can check out some trusted dealers that are near to your location.
One of the key things to keep in mind when buying anything online is to protect yourself against those who misrepresent themselves or their products. As much possible do business with a dealer or a seller who has a verifiable positive record for selling trucks. If you are buying a used truck, ask for the service records to be sure that the Vehicle Identification Number matches it, and that there are no recurring problems.

Compare
It is a good habit to compare prices to snatch the best deal. Once you already know the kind of truck that you need, check out as many reliable sellers and dealers as you can and compare their offers. You may also want to include your travel costs to the prices as you compare. If the overall costs do not fall in your budget range, you can consider buying from a seller nearer to your location.
Some websites provide average price listings of used commercial trucks. Try to find out yours, print it out and show to your seller. This way, you might be able to negotiate for a lower price.
Try to find out as much as you can about financing too. Some finance companies do not readily provide financing unless the vehicle has been inspected by the DOT. Ask all the relevant information and check if you fully agree to and accept all the terms and conditions of the contract.
