The big reveal? The all-new 2025 Mack Pickup Truck, a full-size beast that’s finally stepping into the consumer pickup game. Mack, the folks who’ve been hauling heavy loads since 1900, decided it was time to bring their rugged know-how to everyday drivers who need serious muscle.
High-Tech Features: Smart Tools for Smarter Driving
Safety? They’ve loaded it up. Adaptive cruise control keeps a safe distance on highways, while lane-keeping assist nudges you back if you drift. There’s even a 360-degree camera system for tight parking spots—super handy when you’re towing a trailer. And for the eco-conscious crowd, an optional hybrid mode switches to electric power in city traffic, cutting down on noise and emissions. These features aren’t just gadgets; they make long hauls less tiring and safer.
Powerful Engine: Raw Horsepower Meets Real-World Grit
Under the hood, the heart of this truck is a beastly 6.7-liter V8 diesel engine pumping out 450 horsepower and a whopping 1,000 pound-feet of torque. Paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission, it launches from 0 to 60 in under 7 seconds—plenty quick for merging onto the interstate. Towing capacity hits an impressive 20,000 pounds, perfect for boats, RVs, or construction gear. I tested a similar setup last year, and the low-end torque pulls like a freight train without breaking a sweat.
Smart Technology and Mileage: Efficiency Without Sacrifice
Beyond the basics, smart tech shines in the Mack Connect app. It tracks your truck’s health in real-time, alerting you to maintenance needs before they become breakdowns. Over-the-air updates keep software fresh without a dealer visit. On mileage, that diesel sipper shines in mixed driving—city hauls might dip to 15 mpg, but smart regen braking in the hybrid option boosts it back up.
Price: Value That Packs a Punch
Starting at $48,000 for the base LR trim, the 2025 Mack Pickup undercuts rivals like the Ford F-250 while delivering Mack’s bulletproof build. Top out at around $65,000 for loaded models with all the bells and whistles. Factor in the five-year warranty, and it’s a steal for pros or weekend warriors.
