I am SO glad they finally moved the gear selector out of the middle of the floor! Wow did that look awful in between the seats. This looks so much better. I really like this design.
We own a 567 with the Paccar power train system. We love the auto shift. We are old and have bad knees and hips. This auto shift makes driving more enjoyable especially around town.
@@geargrinder4784 You got a massive selection of old manual trucks to pick from. I would get a 600hp Signature ISX with a 18 speed and 3.55 gears. You can float past most of the gears and play around up mountains.
Yea, the best powertrain for old people would be Paccar's powertrain. Without a doubt. Because it'll be getting towed into a dealer lot for a week at a time, every month or two. It'll afford you plenty of downtime to rest up. Ask me how I know
@@markm0000 ...consider yourself very lucky. If, I caught you floating gears in a truck I owned, it's an automatic firing! Floating gears is for those that are too damned lazy to do it the correct way. They give you a clutch, if, you cannot use it, get your azz out and find another job! Not paying for transmission repairs for someone to damned lazy to do it the correct way! ScottishxPride, Tx.
@@2mkholley not true I've driving both and in traffic weekly the auto is way harder on the driveline than the manual i can just let it pull it self and keep distance in backed up traffic
@@sydhurdle1154you can still listen for your gears, the auto shifts very predictably in traffic. You learn how your gass pedal and rpms trigger different shifts
I love the automated and I don’t care what people say. As long I can make money 💰 in the truck who cares. I can drive a manual but this a new time and the ones that crying it a automated stop being stuck in the 60’s and 80’s
The cowboys who bash auto r just mad auto drivers r not as tired or beat up after a week of driving through the worst traffic ever in history of highways; most ppl who have cdls have done there share of shifting; absolutely nothing wrong with auto,especially in a working show truck; it actually shifts more efficiently then most ppl; no grinding. I love my auto n will b ordering a 2023 ultrashift for comfort,reliability, n medical reasons
It's Not An "Automated Manual"...LOL...There Is NOTHING Manual About It...Not In Any Way...It's An Automatic Transmission...And Automatic Transmissions Nowadays Are Superior In Every Aspect To Manuals.
Beautiful truck. I got one of the last 389’s with the full gage dash. I love it. Didn’t even order the smart nave in this one just because I wanted a full gage package. Sad the 389’s are going away 😢
@@markm0000 well Peterbilt launched the 379X right before they discontinued the 379. They just launched the 389X and I’m told they have a replacement in the works for 2024. I was told it’s a 589. Has a hood similar to the 389 with the cab of a 567. They are trying to make sure it goes over better than the 990 kw did but I’m sure people will not be happy with it
I now drive a auto shift truck and I can drive a manual also I have nothing to prove to anybody. If you drive on road 100% auto is the way to go I even use the auto to get up a snowy mountain road this past winter use the hold a gear feature and pulled right up the mountain
Hey Keith from Angola 🇦🇴 good morning to you, as an Indian 🇮🇳. I am fan of Kenworth and Peterbilt also Volvo VNL of North America 🇺🇸 and this truck is a badass of white colour.
Beautiful truck but Im kind of old school. They are in my opinion ruining trucking with DEF/DPF engines and auto shift. I drive a Freightliner with a DD15 and 12SPD auto and im not complaining as i had a major shoulder injury on the shifter arm but if my arm wasnt all screwed and nailed back together id prefer a manual. I started learning on my buddys 86 W900 425 CAT and 15 double overdrive when trucks were trucks. Still love my trucking no matter what i drive.
Which automated transmission models are available for Cummins engine? And what is difference in price between offered transmissions ? Could that 18 speed auto go with Cummins efficiency? And which Cummins efficiency you recommend 450hp or 500hp ?
Damn! I wish my company had autos. I only fuel Costco’s in and around the Sacramento area. Stop and go traffic, local as can possibly be. Roseville, Elk Grove, Sacramento, Woodland, Rancho Cordova, and Folsom. 5 loads a day, 11-14/hrs a day. GREAT company! I love this job, but some trucks shift like CRAP!Makes the day harder. I like manual, but I’m TOO local for a 10 speed. I think anyways.
Hey Keith, nice pete, I got a 389 my self, question, do you know if I can put an ultra shift or that have to come from the factory, as always, enjoy a lot your videos ., thank you
I would love to have something like this but I would need head rack I would rather a back window in it otherwise I would love to have one Exactly like this
How much does it cost to build this truck. only 23 and i drive automatic but I love the 389 Pete and I want to buy one automatic I’m saving my checks for it !!
Let them know that they can shift in Manual by holding the button on the side. It’s good for mountains grades or if you don’t want the truck to keep going up and down in the gears during slow traffic.
I been driving manuals for the last 6 years and drove an auto yesterday. That’s the way to go unless you’re doing a bunch of off road driving, but other than that it’s good stuff
Could I theoretically put an automated trans in an older pre emissions truck? I just started at one of the big companies and l like driving the autos. But like the older trucks and lack of piss juice
Don't care too much of auto or standard after all we are going to get the autonomous trucks and they are going to get rid of all drivers..then we are going to stay at home..good luck dealers selling trucks to big companies .good luck government getting taxes from nobody...this job is getting ridiculous crazy..to all my fellow drivers who i been seeing during this 30 years journey .good luck and blessings on the road..never lose your humor sense .
Isolates the batteries from every connection in the truck. Very useful if the truck will be sitting for more than a week. That way you do not come back to dead batteries.

I like automated I can drive a standard shift too people act like we still in 1954 is 2022
They are nice to drive.
I’ve been driving truck for forty years. In an automatic now and love it.
That's what I'm saying! Shifting gears is cool but I enjoy everyday work in Auto!
At least with a manual I don't have to wait for my air to build so the transmission will work...
Automatics are for girls.
Beautiful , I use to drive 18 speed manual but after I start driving automatic I don't think I will go back . I like it :)
Anyone that talks shit about Auto never worked with a Auto! If they did they are a liar! Automatic makes life nice!

I'm so in!!! Really didn't think they made such a beautiful truck in an auto! WOW!!!
If I could buy one, This is the Exact truck I would have.
Exact Spec and color is good.
Love it, getting older, so the auto trans is good.
Love it
Wow nice truck I love that you can get automatic transmission on the 389
Thank you for the video. That's a good truck,wish you all the best Keith and take care of you.

Exactly I see so many manual truckers bashing the auto's.
I got to say it's impressive, my last truck I drove before retirement was a white 379 pete.
I can say as an expert on American Truck Simulator, this truck is the king of the highway!
I love peterbilt automatic transmission
This is my dream truck. This is amazing
I like that transmission nice tractor
Beautiful Truck!!
I like the way the put the gear selector saving more space

I believe it would be good on the road but on the field nothing beats a manual
Beautiful rig
It's so bad ass that they come in automatic if I make it far enough I'm gonna buy 1 of these 🚛
I can also drink coffee with one hand on the wheel going down the road in my manual truck!!! No cripples here. Hahaha!
Beautiful truck👌👌👍
Agree 100% on the automated manual.

My dream truck man so beautiful
very very nice truck Peterbilt 389
我非常喜欢💕谢谢你的视频
Old Drivers never die They just get a new Peter Built
This Truck is Gorgeous! I’d definitely would buy this if I had the money even if it’s an auto!! 😀👍🏽🇬🇺🤙🏽
What a beauty and it still does Jake break even though it's automatic
My dream truck
beautiful Truck ♥️🚛
My future truck....I want one
Beautiful, taking a brake from trucking for now, 2024 here I come
The fridge is not on the floor like most sleepers , nice!
After decades of manual shifting… I love today’s auto-shifters.

They keep saying the 389 is going away. I don’t believe it. Peterbilt would never stop making a truck with that much profit margin.

The autos are nice to use. Yea the old trucker in me says.. it's gotta have manual. But my knees say, I'm glad this is an automatic.
I agree auto is nice shifting can be tiring and distracting in city driving
I love this truck
I’m happy if it shifts quickly. Makes acceleration so much nicer.
I love the auto 18 they work good
I'm glad to see automatic in long nose !!

I love pete with auto transmission
I need
One of these
beautiful truck I like automatic
I love this set up I actually want to do a test run on a 18 speed Endurant and the 18 speed manual with the bendix wingman and blindspotter 😁
So good!

I would love to have this
I like it it do the job
This is the exact setup I want for my 389. Can I buy new In stock or do I have to customize a new year model 389 with 18spd automatic shift?
I'll take a auto over a manual any day. I can drive either one as well. Great video
Remembering Levi🇺🇸🗽
Thank you Bill. Funeral was last Saturday. Tough day but good to get it behind us.

Steering wheel holders dream
Hello, How is the fuel economy with 18 speed automatic transmission? Thanks
I would love to have something like this but I would need head rack I would rather a back window in it otherwise I would love to have one Exactly like this
I wouldn't drive anything else right now but an automatic,the first time I drove one change everything for me
I love your boots we have the same taste
How much does it cost to build this truck. only 23 and i drive automatic but I love the 389 Pete and I want to buy one automatic I’m saving my checks for it !!
They totally mess this truck up, starting with the steering wheel, dashboard, and putting a automatic
Let them know that they can shift in Manual by holding the button on the side. It’s good for mountains grades or if you don’t want the truck to keep going up and down in the gears during slow traffic.
I’ve been wondering about that! Thanks!
Ahhh
So how to you manually shift this & can you split the gears?
Hey how much did this truck cost you I’m interested in getting one ?
I love my 2023 579 but dat 389 is my heart 😒😭
I been driving manuals for the last 6 years and drove an auto yesterday. That’s the way to go unless you’re doing a bunch of off road driving, but other than that it’s good stuff
at least 20 years behind the european truck standards.
@@honda900000 yeah, but it still feels good driving a manual 😎
I like the new column shift way more room. Do the arm rests fold back on the mid seats?
Yes, armrests still fold back I believe.
Is it true that Peterbilt is discontinuing the 389 in 2023?
hi. Good truck, how much does it cost?
i like this truck, whats your asking price, thanks
Do automatic Petes work good as a manual pete?
Could I theoretically put an automated trans in an older pre emissions truck? I just started at one of the big companies and l like driving the autos. But like the older trucks and lack of piss juice
Sweeeet
I'll drive this one too, if I get the chance
Can you get dump valve added for spread axle trailer?
Nice,I like it. But fridge is small for me.
Cheaped out on front tires?
Let’s talk about those boots! Daaaang.
Tecovas!
No more classic chrome full gauges package? Instead electronic speedo screen??
💥💥🤙🏽💎💎
Breaks my feels that beauty has an automatic. Queen of the road
What kind of fuel mileage?
Nice Truck rather have a DD16 but can you get one with a 16?
I’d totally get this truck in automatic.

Hey Keith, Great Truck. What is a master disconnect?
Isolates the batteries from every connection in the truck. Very useful if the truck will be sitting for more than a week. That way you do not come back to dead batteries.
