Buyers comparing day cab tractors options will find the Mack Anthem spec'd as a high-output machine, running a 445hp engine and 52,000 lb operating weight.
Compared against every other day cab tractors page on this site, the Mack Anthem's 445hp puts it in the upper half of the horsepower range for day cab tractors models tracked here. By operating weight, it comes in at 65% of the heaviest day cab tractors model in this dataset.
The numbers below assume a 60-month $1-buyout capital lease on the $143,795 Anthem: $2,931/mo at an estimated 8% APR, ending in full ownership rather than a residual payoff. For financing at this level, lenders generally price this range on a sliding scale tied to time in business and credit profile rather than a flat rate. Across the full 60-month term, total payments come to $175,851 — about $32,056 above the $143,795 cash price, which is the real cost of financing instead of paying up front.
At an estimated $2,931/month, this ranks #7 of 12 by estimated payment among currently priced day cab tractors models — 1% above the day cab tractors average of $2,902/mo.
On the tax side, this $143,795 purchase is Section 179-eligible under the 2026 cap of $2,560,000, and 100% bonus depreciation -- back in effect for equipment placed in service after January 19, 2025 -- means a qualifying buyer could potentially deduct the entire $143,795 in the year it's placed in service rather than depreciating it over several years, subject to the buyer's own taxable income and CPA sign-off.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the estimated monthly payment for a financed Mack Anthem?
An estimated $2930.85/month over 60 months at a base APR of 8%, including a $750.00 doc/origination fee.
Does the estimated payment change based on credit score?

Is the Mack Anthem eligible for a Section 179 tax deduction?
Yes. Under the 2026 Section 179 cap of $2,560,000, qualifying businesses may be able to deduct the full purchase price in the year it's placed in service, subject to CPA verification.
Does 100% bonus depreciation apply to a financed Mack Anthem?
Bonus depreciation was restored to 100% for equipment placed in service after January 19, 2025, and it applies more broadly than Section 179 -- it isn't capped by the $2,560,000 Section 179 limit and generally isn't affected by a business's Section 179-eligible income limit. Financing rather than paying cash doesn't disqualify a purchase from this: the full $143,795 placed-in-service cost is typically what counts, not the amount actually paid that year. Confirm applicability with a CPA before filing.
What's the total cost of financing this Mack Anthem versus paying cash?
Over the full 60-month term, estimated payments total $175,851 -- about $32,056 more than the $143,795 cash price. That difference is the estimated cost of financing (interest plus the $750.00 doc fee) rather than paying up front.
How much would a down payment lower the monthly payment on this Mack Anthem?
Putting 10% down ($14,380 on this Mack Anthem) reduces the estimated payment from $2,931/mo to roughly $2,639/mo at the same 8% estimated APR -- a real reduction, since a down payment lowers the amount actually financed rather than just the sticker price.
What is the typical resale or auction value for a Mack Anthem?
Estimated 5-year residual value is approximately 38.5% of MSRP.
