This is the new standard.

Combining unmatched driving and resting comfort, advanced aerodynamics, and game-changing fuel efficiency, the new Mack Pioneer sets a new standard for long-haul trucking. Engineered for uptime and built to keep you ahead of the curve, Pioneer redefines what it means to lead the road.

PioneerTM pushes every boundary for
comfort, efficiency and safety.

Efficiency that goes further than ever.

Optimized aerodynamics

Combined with an improved powertrain, Pioneer’s sleek, sculpted shape reduces air resistance for an overall profile that offers up to 11% better fuel efficiency.

New Mack MP®13 engine

The all-new engine delivers more power with less fuel consumption, providing 3% greater efficiency.

One-piece windshield

A new one-piece windshield is bonded directly to the cab, delivering improved aerodynamics, reduced wind noise and increased cab strength.

Comfort that raises the benchmark.

Most spacious Mack ever

A 76" high sleeper roof provides plenty of room for standing up, and increased cab depth and width of up to 4.7" and 8.5" respectively.

MaxRide air suspension

Advanced suspension utilizes electronic ride height and eight tuned airbags to provide the most stable and best ride ever.

Command Steer

A highly advanced active steering system, Command Steer can help reduce driver effort by up to 85% and improve driver productivity and comfort.

Safety that looks ahead, beyond and behind.

Mack Protect Safety Suites

Utilizing radars and cameras, available Mack Protect alerts the driver to potential road hazards, and intervenes with braking, engine control, and even corrective steering to help avoid collisions.

Digital Mirror System (DMS)

The available DMS combines dual camera “wings” and interior video screens to provide clear, real-time views that replicate traditional mirrors for enhanced visibility and safety.

All-new steel cab design

Built for long-term durability and crash protection, the fully welded high-strength steel cab is designed to keep drivers safe and secure.
