The new Anthem features a 113.5-inch bumper-to-back-of-cab length, making it ideal for navigating tight spaces and urban environments. The redesigned hood dramatically improves forward visibility, allowing drivers to see approximately 12% closer to the front bumper.

Fernando Couceiro, vice president of highway trucks at Mack Trucks, said that in addition to excelling in maneuverability, the Mack Anthem has the potential to save up to $5,000 annually in fuel costs per truck.
