The Bulldog was back on the road again with the 2008 Mack Performance Tour, featuring the biggest and boldest trucks ever from Mack Trucks, Inc. The new, top-of-the-line Rawhide Editions of both the Pinnacle highway and Granite vocational models feature the very fuel efficient, yet extremely powerful Mack MP family of engines.

The Mack Performance Tour came at an opportune time for truck operators considering which engine can take them into 2010 and beyond. The Tour was an outstanding way for customers to experience the quality, power, performance and fuel economy of the Mack MP engine family. Each Mack was loaded to legal capacity to give customers a real feel for the power of the MP engines.

Matt Elliott, Heavy Truck Specialist with Performance Equipment in Mississauga was pleased to note the interest shown by trucking professionals during the Performance Tour. Speaking with Road Today, Matt explained that the dealership adopted a different way this year to reach out to the industry audience. Instead of organizing an Open House, the salesmen were out in the yards of trucking companies showcasing the features of the latest models. Prospective buyers were able to test-drive these trucks and got their queries answered by experts.

Since the Tour kicked off in Texas in April, Mack has sent its trucks fanning out across North America. Customers can track the tour with a full schedule and video highlights from other drivers at www.mackperformancetour.com
