Jack saw the sparkle in your eyes looking at that peterbilt.looks good on you
You should have seen the sparkle in my eyes when I saw this video. I drove a 2010 579 until 2014 when I retired. It was home sweet home for my wife and I after she came to the States from the Philippines. In fact, she gave the truck the name "Aurora" and that is how we always refer to it to this day. We retired to the Philippines in November 2014 and we miss Aurora all the time.
The outside looks pretty much unchanged and the interior is as roomy as ever. Our set up was very much like this one and we lived comfortably day in and day out. I like the addition of the built-in refrigerator. We had two 12V coolers, so the frig would free up some space.
Thanks fora trip down memory lane (ours was the same color as well). I always look forward to your postings. God bless.
it is nice to see more videos coming out from you. Always a pleasure.
Another classic Jack video!
Thanks for the ride Jack your Awesome keep the videos coming thanks again
Nice Peterbilt, thanks for the tour.
I've never driven an automatic, looking forward to the opportunity.
Enjoy the ride,Jack, rubberside down....
Having been a "lorry" driver here in the UK since 1975 and driving "articulated" lorries since 1981, I find the American trucks fascinating and beautiful to look at after some of the dull cab over lorries that we here in Britain drive. I love the conventional long nosed trucks you have the pleasure of driving over there in USA. The Peterbilt you featured in this video was a stunning bit of kit. The auto shift arrangement on the steering column has been used for quite some time here. I have been driving a Mercedes Actros for the past 8 years with the same idea for selecting Drive or Reverse. Automatic lorries are becoming very common here in UK . Can't imagine why anyone would want a manual option when the truck can do the work. Most come with a manual mode anyway if you choose to work harder. Love your videos and comments and already a big fan of Indiana Jack.
Automatic is lazy.
So thankful for all your videos brother!! Always praying for you and your family, for health and happiness and blessings!! You give so many to us 🇺🇸❤️
Nice demonstration Jack. Very impressive and beautiful Peterbilt. They really are first class. I like the shift selector where they put it. Something else out of the way and streamlined. Thank you for taking us trucking in a gorgeous new Pete. Like you, I love trucks.
JACK I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! SO MANY SMILES... THANKS FOR SHARING
I still love trucks i traded 18 wheels years ago for wings i fly for a living i been following you for years jack keep the video's coming love see how trucks are progressing in new technology
Great video. I think if you had that truck in the last couple of years you would still be trucking full time. The transmission shifter is in a great place , out of the road for getting into the bunk etc.
Love the Pete looking awesome 👍🏻 keep on trucking jack.
If you are 6’5” that means the top of Little Guys head is at your belly button!
Very nice Pete, one of my favorite trucks
Thanks for sharing Jack. Nice looking truck. I would drive it.
Nice truck !!. Freightliner has the shifter on steering wheel column also. It a good spot for it
Wow I love that truck very nice and very amazing and loaded truck and very nice storage also great truck jack
I could see you driving that truck into all the TA's and Loves around
Nice truck Jack. Thanks for sharing the video...
I absolutely love these trucks! I'd maybe like to have one someday with an 18 or 13 speed.
Love the truck. With all the electronics you get used to where ever the shifter is!
Does the refrigerator have a safety latch on the door to keep it from piping open on a bumpy road like current models of Volvo? 🤠
Keep doing the videos Jack. Since you went off road I can't find any one to follow,(suggestions please) You were the very first trucker video I watched and thank you for all the fun adventures. John Mullaney 38 years of trucking!
JBG travels and riding with Dave are both pretty good vloggers
Hay Indiana Jack I love what you do man keep doin it rock on brother.
I have the 2018 579, I'm 6'4" tall. I love mine
Jack. Wish you Thanks giving. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU. AND You're family.. Love from New Zealand. Xx
Very nice truck, cant wait to get back to driving again.
Hello Jack; Thanks for the tour of the Pete.(very impressive).
My I suggest a possible future video of the Truck show in "Greencaslltle Virginia " in October. It's a three day event,and has absolutely beautiful "Big Rig trucks at the event" if you haven't been, I really think you and the subscribers would enjoy it.
As always enjoyed the videos
Isabella
great review Jack, I think the shifter is in a good spot
Hey jack great video, loved that color on that truck, what’s the horsepower?
I drove a 579 with a 13spd in it i loved it super nice truck
Single Bunk? What's the sense of having the loft then? just more area to heat and cool. Id rather have the mid roof, running single or team.
Thanks for the tour Jack, I love trucks too, even if I an retired. I think some of the Volvos have a transmission switch like that, I know John (JBG Travels) new Volvo has that shift. He graduated from a 2013 Freightliner Cascadia with 10 speed manual, and he wanted Auto shift so bad he could taste it LOL., however he is one of ADL's best drivers I believe. I'm not sure but I think the Frieghtliner Cascadia has a similar shift on the right side of the steering column, you put it in gear using the switch, then the handle is like a paddle shifter so you can shift by sound or by hand but it has no clutch, I consider it auto shift as well. You asked so I gave you my best opinion. /// I got your joke about the storage box right away LOL... I've always like Peterbilt, and this seems to be an exceptional truck. I surmise the real test will be when it's pulling a near capacity loaded trailer. If some of my spelling of these trucks is not correct, please over-look it as I did not bother to look them up on Google, I took my best stab at it, but I think a smart guy like you will know what I'm talking about. BTW, that blue color is pretty much my favorite color of any truck I've seen. I believe Ford still paints Robin Egg Blue which is lighter but just as pretty and Freightliner puts out a nice blue color too, but lighter in color. Also the interior lay-out of the truck you showed was very nice. Had a very nice dash board, roomy and quiet.
Beautiful Truck Jack
Hi Jack,great truck,i can see you living in it 😉
Hello Jack , enjoying the 579 Peterbilt . Do you as a long time truck have a opinion on the x 15 engine . I have heard both plus an minus on it .Take Care ,Be safe . 👍👍😊✌
I love the truck though I would want a double bunk for an additional occupant. I would also want a manual transmission though the automatic is nice when going through a traffic jam or city in some respects.Thanks for your review😊.
I just read about the Volvo I-See transmission that learns and memorises routes and their topography to optimise action... Does Peterbilt have same kind of stuff? I know, many are so old school they become sick of new features but I'm actually very interested... Waiting to get free of that steering wheel, too!
Jack loved the otr videos best of luck in semiretirement
Great Review, Saw sparkle in your eyes & bounce in your step. I would stay right where you are @ Jack. Appears you got a good job at this time, I got feeling Trucking Business just starting on its Up's & Down's. But right now, If bought a new one it would be a Peterbilt. New engine are very fuel efficient to point amazing. My TK 2011 model is just about outdated on fuel efficiency. Trucking every penny counts.
I have driven several Pete's and like them. The shifter is in a convenient spot. A lot better in my opinion than on the dash. Pretty hard to compare MPG's when we don't know what HP the engine is rated at. Another great video! Maybe you are going to want to start driving again, now that you have finally been behind the wheel of a good truck! LOL
I Like it....the Shifter Spot is Better than the Volvo I was Driving..it was on the seat, made it hard to kick the feet around to get in the sleeper.....All trucks just take a little getting used to...But I would Sure Take this one!!
I think the shifter is in a good location. Too many trucks have them down beside the seat or up on the dash, so you are reaching for them to use it.
PB looked real good,however reminds me of that"new"car smell that hooks you everytime,that is until you see the monthly payments,would imagine you can really jack the price up by optioning it out with lots of bells and whistles,BTW what year did you show that new engine?
Great video! Nice Pete!
Great looking truck. Was that leather interior? Transmission shifter was different but no worse than any other truck. Just different style. I always heard they were one of the best built trucks on the road.
This truck came to me courtesy Peterbilt of Atlanta (Chad Neighbors) 470 548 2310 cneighbors@peteatlanta.com I think you should buy it! :-)
Got one and I love it
When I drove over the road, I always took my boots off before going in the sleeper compartment.
Preach on brother Beavis!
Can you show the process of you booking a load of the DAT load board
Would have liked to hear more about the specs Jack... Hp, fuel capacity, jake brake, but all in all, Thanks for the peek at a new Pete..... Safe travels bro.
Love the Pete. I owned one when I was trucking.
Awesome Pete!
Good to see you jack mighty fine semi somne one will be glad to get that baby.sam
Beautiful rig
Okay, I got to know! Does it have heated seats?
On my second 579 good truck first one put 550000 had isx . Just got new one with x15 and is one month old
Test Drove a 579. Very comfy and quite indeed
High quality video!
That is a very beautiful truck.
The transmission selector looks kinda cheesy and weak. How long would it hold up?
Looks really Nice! 👍
Jack did you not say your over or around 6' 4"
this is cool
great video Jack the 579 is my favorite new tractor. They are nice looking, have very responsive handling, tight turn radius, ride nice, and a lot of room. Too bad you can't get gliders anymore because the 579 gliders the best choice in my opinion. Sorry but I am not a fan of the Cumaparts and these emission friendly engines. Give me a C15 or Series60 and I'm good to go.
I got this same truck. Mpg is amazing 👏
How much mpg we talking about?
@@davidkattan1275 i pull a reefer with side skirts. This truck avg low 8's fully loaded and close nine empty. Running 68 its only turning about 1225 rpm. Now its not the fastest in the hills with the 2.79 rear end. If you want more performance you will have to put the auto in manual mode and shift it yourself. I only got 88k miles so I expect mpg to go up once I get lil more miles on it.
Great review. I hope you eventually get to at least see the new Autocar. It is not a trash truck but a reentry of Autocar into cross county trucking.
Nice to see they didn’t cheap out and actually got the sears seats
I drive the 579, But the 2018 Model/ double sleeper. Been driving mine for 7 months, I have 84K on her now. the review looked, pretty much the same. I truly love the shifting of the truck, and the 12 speed, trans, really powers up the hills. even with 44,500 lbs. and paddle shifting down, to catch a lower gear faster, for a better climb rate. leaves everyone else behind. got a question. I pass your exit all the time. is it okay, to come into your yard, with someone else company truck?. Just want to say Hi.
Sure drop on by we'll leave the lights on for ya.
Beautiful truck
I drive a 20 579 with automatic, it has a Paccar engine and Pete's transmission. I wish it had an Allison trans they shift easier, glide into the grears.
very well appointed truck
sure different than the ones I drove! The simple transmission doesn't seem like trucking but with back issues it would sure be easier to drive.
Nice truck.
How much does it cost?
I thank it is a very nice truck
When your on the road like you are you deserve to drive a nice truck!
How’s Shnieder trainer job goin Jack?
Love that truck ❤️
What a beauty!
I was thinking about getting another Volvo, like my old 2008, but I've been hearing horror stories about service and parts for them lately. I've almost certainly decided my next truck will be a Paccar.
Nothing but issues lol
Don't get the bendix radar, this Pete is awful with it. Going back to freightliner
You had the Panther truck b-roll - I drove by Panther’s headquarters today. 👍🏻
Did I miss the shifter?
So how did that truck got there if it never driven before ?
just off the top of my head, the shifter being where it is I could easily get confused with wiper handle while driving down the road
1:02 Nice music! When did you get so funky Jack?
Hello Jack the real test will be putting it to work with load on it but I would like to drive it because it's an automatic.
Refrigerator size for an UltraLoft?
Love the video, but I fail to see the difference between this Pete and the last 5 or 6 model years, aside from the engine...
The Pete t680 is a beautiful truck too. If you haven’t done the t880 you should do that one too
awesome my brother bought 2020 Pete 389 it's awesome too I did give it up to drive it personal health reasons I did not drive it what time I have a lift here I am going to enjoy the way I want to
How does it go? They forgot the stick.
Is he still around? I haven't seen any newer videos
A very nice truck but dont know how long that shiftlever will do its job, it looks a bit flimsy.
That's my ultimate dream truck except I'd want it in legendary blue, but regardless that's a beautiful blue too.
What ever happened to the 18 speed standard?
Most companies aren’t building trucks manual anymore unless customer specifically orders a manual. Trucking industry is going full auto now. Started few years ago...
Nice truck but I want one in a manual transmission(13 speed).
I agree though I would probably get it in a 15 or 18 speed.
years ago the word was that automatic transmissions caused heavier fuel use, is that still the case ?
CrimeVid these aren’t automatics like your car these are standard transmissions like you’d find in a traditional truck but instead of a stick coming out of the top you have two electric motor that do the shifting.
@@Jimmypupkin Constant mesh gearbox, the gear change is computer controlled. No torque converter so fuel consumption is as good if not better than driver controlled.
CrimeVid No, automated shift transmissions are much more fuel efficient. These aren’t automatic as in a car, rather a manual transmission that the truck automatically shifts at the optimum time.
How much for this awesome truck IJ
Looks nice but I think volvo makes some of the nicest interiors especially the new 860 or even the Kenworth t680 with diamond package
Nice design of the Volvo interior. Some complain that the material/plastic feels a bit cheaper than Pete and Ken, but I got no first hand experience
weres jack gone did he pass away
Collision mitigation system is a nightmare. Ours is constantly locking the brakes for no reason.
