When I was a young teenager back in 1980, a neighbor bought a gorgeous brand new bright white 359 with an extended (58"?) sleeper, 4 air horns and tasteful chrome accents. He SPECIFICALLY had it built with a Cat engine because he hauled minerals out of quarries. I know the 389 is discontinued, but will Peterbilt even build a special order 589 with a Cat engine? Or do they just build them with Cummins engines? I can still remember the unique sound that 359 with the Cat made when my neighbor would drive through the neighborhood.
The 589 is a good-looking modern 2024 truck. I've driven 359, 352,362,377,379. My 359 glider heavy hauling engines with no power steering, spring suspension for 10-12 hrs. (had Popeye arms) driving, those days are over. I remember the nit picking when the 379 came out and I'm sure in 2045 when the 889 comes out they will wish for the 589.
Hey, @ least it doesn't have the paccar engine! Paccar engine's are designed for European cabovers. Cam comes out the back of the engine & the other components are driven from the back of the engine too. I'm not against the performance of the European engine, but it would be nice if it was design modified for conventional trucks in north America. So many like to keep equipment and rebuild it as needed till its not possible. This engine has to be removed from the mounts for some repairs that traditionally would not be nessisary costing time & money.
It's been a trend lately not to have roof horns. I know it's harder to clean the roof with horns, but I like round trumpet horns on the roof! Wonder if it's like the lights having to reprogram a computer to activate additional air horns too? I'm not against technology, per say, just unnecessary complications. Old style wiring was so much easier to trouble shoot on the road.
If they would a just left the old doors and windshield shape from the 389 it would look much better.

U cannot get a cat motor in a new truck
@jakebrake1326 thank you for your response... So is Cummins the only option for a Pete or a KW now?
@@Alloyman6419 Cummins and paccar
@jakebrake1326 that explains it, thanks again!
@@Alloyman6419 yes sssssiuuuuhhhhh

Best classic truck out there.
Always liked and owned a long nose Peterbilt truck. Can you get the viser painted instead of stainless steel.
Hello Rick! Yes sir, we can do painted visors on the 589.
Very nice the future looks bright for the 359 and I love the sleeper on the white truck in the background

So glad I got out of the business before the 389 was discontinued. Shame on peterbilt this is absolute trash.
We need more people to get out of the business so it can get better.
U couldn't afford the lug nuts on it little boy
The truck isn't trash, but the def system probably is.
Thank Kenworth for the W900L
It needs a redesigned cab,windshield, dash, doors, and roof
From the cab to the steps, its all kenworth. Paccar needs to replace the emblems to kw.
Can you order it with a built in table instead of the mattress? Use sectional “pillows” instead?
Nope
1 piece windshield, might as well be a Prostar
Hello this is beautiful more than a Kenworth w900
This just doesn’t do it for me. To much like a fack . knock off . They should have asked some Peterbuilt owners, to help with the new makeover.☹️
LOOKS LIKE AN INTERNATIONAL CAB TO ME. NO THANKS ,I'LL KEEP MY 379.
Reminds me of a Western Star for some reason.
And u remind me of a Volvo driver that wears Volvo flip flops
@@jakebrake1326 That's tough talk pickle smoocher.
@jakebrake1326 And you remind me of someone that would tell people that fish are biting when they're not.
Beautiful Truck 😊what is the price
Call him up and he'll tell u the price of it
How much
No Horns!
More than likely train horns installed under the truck.

Do I dare ask the price of truck ?
Is it gonna kill you
I’d assume it’s somewhere in the 185+k range.
@@OpeoAslam uh no
