Mack Trucks Introduces the All-New Mack® Granite® at ConExpo 2026
LAS VEGAS, NV (March 2, 2026) – Mack Trucks today unveiled the all-new reimagined and redesigned Mack® Granite® at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, ahead of ConExpo-Con/Agg 2026, March 3-7 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The all-new Granite significantly advances Mack’s vocational truck lineup, delivering an all-new cab, cutting-edge safety technologies, enhanced driver comfort and industry-first features designed to set a new standard in the vocational segment.
“The all-new Mack Granite embodies everything Mack stands for: legendary durability, uncompromising performance and a commitment to our customers who depend on these trucks to get the toughest jobs done,” said Stephen Roy, president, Mack Trucks. “We’ve completely reimagined the Granite from the ground up, bringing the same level of innovation we delivered with our Pioneer and Anthem models to the vocational market.”
Industry-First Safety Technologies
The all-new Granite sets a new standard for safety in the vocational segment, introducing multiple industry-first technologies that bring advanced protection to demanding work environments.
The available Mack Protect™ safety suite, the same system available on the all-new Mack Pioneer™ and all-new Mack Anthem®, includes front camera, front radar and 270-degree radar coverage with both passenger-side and driver-side radar systems. Having both driver-side (left-hand) and passenger-side (right-hand) radars is a first for the vocational segment.
The Granite is also the first vocational truck to feature an Electronic Park Brake (ePark Brake) with rollaway protection in conjunction with auto release when shifting into gear. Additional safety features include standard front and available side-curtain airbags, standard LED headlamps and fog lamps with available cornering lights.
Standard on every all-new Granite is E911 auto-call, which automatically contacts emergency services when in cellular service range, if an airbag deploys or the system detects a rollover or collision – another first for the vocational segment.
An optional proprietary camera system provides up to five camera inputs, including backup camera and downward-facing passenger-side camera for enhanced visibility of certain blind spots, particularly useful for certain customers in urban operations. An optional Digital Mirror System is also available.
“We’re bringing safety technologies to the North American vocational market that have never been available before,” said Alex Lee, Mack Trucks senior product manager for vocational and medium duty. “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.”
Configurations and Availability
The all-new Mack Granite will be available in day cab and 44-inch sleeper configurations in both axle-forward and axle-back positions, with multiple front and rear axle ratings to handle specific customer requirements. The truck is offered with graphite and bright trim packages, with features including LED headlights, three-piece bumper options and available sun visor. An optional hatch provides fluid access for snowplow applications.
The new Granite will be available for order in the latter half of 2026. Production of the all-new Mack Granite will begin in January 2027, at Mack’s Lehigh Valley Operations facility in Macungie, Pennsylvania, where all Class 8 Mack vehicles for North America and export are assembled.
Performance Built for the Vocational Market
The Granite features the new Mack MP®13 engine, delivering greater power, up to 540 HP and 1,950 lb.-ft. of torque, while providing up to 3% improved fuel efficiency compared with the previous engine. The updated Mack mDRIVE™ automated manual transmission, available in 12-, 13- and 14-speed configurations, provides 30% faster shifts for improved responsiveness and shift quality. The 13-speed features a low reduction creeper gear for improved startability on steep grades and with heavy loads. The 14-speed features a 32:1 ultra-low-speed reduction gear ideal for precision work like curb pouring and loose soil conditions. The Granite also offers a Cummins X10 engine, rated from 350-450 HP and 1,250-1,650 lb.-ft. of torque, with an Allison automatic transmission.
The Granite continues Mack’s legacy of durability through its legendary axles with the new MaxRide air load distributing suspension, a non-torque reactive eight-bag system proprietary to Mack that delivers superior ride quality and load management.
“Ride quality matters in vocational applications; our customers are navigating job sites, rough terrain and city streets all in the same day,” said Tim Wrinkle, vice president, product owner, vocational and medium duty at Mack. “The Granite’s MaxRide air suspension delivers a smoother, more comfortable ride that helps reduce driver fatigue and keeps drivers performing at their best.”
All-New Cab Delivers More Space and Comfort
The Granite features an all-new galvanized steel cab that is significantly larger than its predecessor, with nine inches of additional width at the B-pillar for increased interior volume and driver comfort. The cab meets all ISO safety standards and passes the stringent Swedish Impact (BOF10) test, demonstrating Mack’s commitment to occupant protection without sacrificing capability.
A new ImpactShield one-piece bonded curved windshield provides improved durability and impact resistance, while the shorter 113.5-inch bumper-to-back-of-cab dimension in both axle-forward and axle-back configurations simplifies bodybuilder adaptation and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements across all markets.
Driver-Centric Interior Design
The all-new Granite’s interior was designed with input from more than 30 professional drivers through an unbiased clinic at Virginia Tech, based in Blacksburg, Virginia, where drivers without knowledge of the Mack brand rated prototypes and provided feedback on ergonomics, placement of controls and visibility.
“Everything in this cab was designed around the driver,” said Vince Lokers, specialist chief designer, Mack Trucks. “We focused on creating a driver-centric, commanding, ergonomic layout with wrap-around controls and high visibility. Features like our new steering column-mounted shifter, flat-bottom steering wheel and electric brakes were all positioned in their best ergonomic position based on direct driver feedback.”
The interior is available in three trim levels and features a new digital instrument cluster, updated materials and features carried over from the Mack Pioneer and new Anthem, and an all-new three-way adjustable steering column. An available premium air-shock seat offers four-way lumbar support, massage and heating/ventilation functions. The new door panel design incorporates HVAC ducting that delivers heating and cooling at the driver’s shoulder, a feature borrowed from the automotive segment for enhanced comfort.
A new bodybuilder tower positioned between the seats provides a convenient mounting surface for body builder controls, gauges and equipment. It can also be optioned as additional storage with a lid, which is critical in day cab applications in which storage space is at a premium. The interior also includes built-in productivity features like the aluminum top-of-dash t-slot and side-of-dash accessory mounting plate, providing reinforced, easy-to-access mounting locations for ELDs and other devices. Standard top of dash dual USB-C, 12-volt auxiliary power outlets and an available wireless phone charger add convenience to power multiple devices.
Bold Exterior Design with Heritage Inspiration
The all-new Granite’s exterior design was developed in parallel with the Mack Pioneer, ensuring a consistent brand language across the entire Mack lineup.
The hood profile draws inspiration from the iconic Mack R model, with a lowered side air intake that provides increased visibility in front of the A-pillars, while maintaining vertical space up front for a higher performing cooling package.
“The Granite was not just an adaptation of the Pioneer,” said Lukas Yates, expert chief designer for Mack Trucks. “This is an all-new platform that was created to be applicable in both highway and vocational applications. We wanted this truck to look tough and confident going down the road, built to be very rugged and handle anything. The design emphasis was on durability and functionality while maintaining the Mack DNA that our customers recognize and trust.”
The new stainless steel grille represents a significant advancement in quality and durability. “This is the best grille we’ve ever done on a truck,” Yates added. “It’s very strong and rigid, with a level of quality I haven’t seen on anything else.”
A new modular bumper system addresses the complexity of vocational applications, which traditionally required more than 60 bumper variants to accommodate different tow and axle configurations. The new design features a common centerpiece that accommodates both center and side tow configurations, with interchangeable end caps for axle-forward and axle-back positions. This innovative approach maintains all customer options while dramatically improving production efficiency. The stamped three-piece bumper integrates cornering and fog lamps in a robust, durable solution.
New LED bullet lamps on the cab roof provide a clean, modern aesthetic while meeting regulatory clearance and identification lighting requirements. A new axle-forward headlamp maintains the same lighting performance and signature Mack ‘M’-shaped daytime running light as the axle-back version in a more compact package.
Advanced Bodybuilder Integration
The all-new Granite introduces the latest generation BodyLink IV, featuring a completely redesigned electrical architecture enabling new customizable logic and diagnostics. The system supports flexible switches and system controllers that can be programmed enabling virtual interlocks and automations to improve upfit, productivity and safety.
Connectivity and Uptime
The all-new Granite keeps fleets connected and running with Mack Connect telematics, providing real-time visibility into vehicle location, performance and health. Over-the-air updates enable remote software updates to one truck or the entire fleet, minimizing downtime and service visits.
The MyMack mobile app gives drivers and fleet managers convenient access to critical vehicle information from anywhere, while remote diagnostic capabilities help identify issues before they become costly problems.
Combined with Mack’s established dealer network and uptime support services across North America, the all-new Granite is designed to keep trucks and customers on the job.
Mack Financial Services makes it easier to get into an all-new Granite with quick credit decisions, flexible financing up to 100% of the truck, and terms up to 72 months. Customers can also protect their investment with integrated insurance coverage, simplify budgeting by rolling service contracts into their truck payment, and gain immediate parts and repair authorization across the Mack dealer network through FleetPREFERRED. Terms and conditions apply.
