We Own Work: Behind the Scenes of the All-New 2017 Ford Super Duty

Five customers were given never-before access to the toughest, smartest, most capable Super Duty ever. Hear in their own words why We Own Work.

Mack adds 13- and 14-speed option to mDrive HD trans, intros new exhaust aftertreatment system

Mack Trucks’ mDrive HD will soon have offer two new spec options: 13- and 14-speed spec’d for vocational and severe-duty markets that make use of low reduction gear ratios. Mack introduced the new options at the NTEA Work Truck Show taking place in Indianapolis this week.

The mDrive HD is an automated-manual transmission designed for vocational and off-highway markets. The company markets it as a rugged, reinforced version of its on-highway mDrive transmission. The new 13- and 14-speed options for the mDrive HD will be available for order in August on Mack Pinnacle, Granite and Titan models.

The 13-speed offering will be available in direct or overdrive configurations, and the 14-speed will be available only in an overdrive configuration. The 13-speed transmission offers easier starting on steep grades or when the truck is under a heavy load, Mack says. The 14-speed option is designed for curb pouring applications or low-speed heavy-hauling, Mack says, where the ultra-low-speed reduction gear is needed. Both transmissions offer up to four reverse gear ratios.

Mack releasing smaller, lighter and more efficient ClearTech

image003Mack also announced at the show an updated version of its exhaust aftertreatment system. The ClearTech One, which Mack says is a smaller, lighter and more efficient version of the original ClearTech system, will also be available for order in August for Mack Pinnacle and Granite models.

The new ClearTech one combines into one unit the diesel particulate filter, selective catalytic reduction system and diesel exhaust fluid system.

Finally, Mack announced several updates to both the mDrive and mDrive HD, along with longer standard warranties for both. Updates to the mDrive models include: a redesigned gearbox control unit, a new clutch with a larger torsional damper and new component wear monitors. Warranty coverage now extends to 36 months with unlimited miles for heavy-duty applications for both the mDRIVE and mDRIVE HD. For severe-duty applications, warranty coverage is extended to 12 months and unlimited miles for the mDRIVE, and 24 months, unlimited miles for the mDRIVE HD.

Ram Chassis Cabs Offer Wide Range of Power Takeoff Options

For 2016, the Ram Commercial lineup will offer each of its heavy-duty pickup truck chassis cabs — the Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 — with a power-takeoff (known as PTO units) option in several different configurations, more than any truckmaker in the segment.

A PTO unit is a mechanical setup that typically runs off the transmission, using engine power to operate equipment while the truck is stationary, such as an external compressor, generator, water pump, post-hole digger, landscaping cutters or just about anything else that requires energy.

It's not unusual for heavy-duty pickups to offer a PTO option, especially when special-purpose customers or industries are involved (such as oil, forestry and mining), but what is unusual is the array of choices available to chassis-cab buyers. Ram's PTO feature can be ordered on any of its three chassis-cab models with either the 6.4-liter gas engine or the 6.7-liter inline six-cylinder turbo-diesel and with 4x2 or 4x4 drivelines. Buyers also can choose whether to position the PTO on the right or left side of the vehicle — depending on the driveline and/or powertrain choices.

All models of the Ford Super Duty chassis cab (F-450, F-550, F-650 and F-750) can be ordered with a PTO option; the first two offered with a stationary model for gas (V-10) or diesel (V-8), the medium-duty trucks offer three different types of PTO, called "live drive," but must be ordered with the Power Stroke diesel and can operate either stationary or while driving ($280). GM offers a chassis-cab model for its GMC or Chevrolet one-ton trucks (GM offers nothing larger) and only offers a PTO option for the six-speed Allison transmission (standard with the Duramax turbo-diesel).

The Ram PTO reportedly provides a best-in-class 60 horsepower and 250 pounds-feet of torque, at a cost of $295. Ram Commercial has a network of 950 dedicated dealerships across the U.S. and Canada.
