Are you sure that transmission isn't an 18 speed auto shift transmission. Eaton numbers it's gears as LL (Low Low) L (Low) then 1-16 for eighteen speed transmissions and the same save for 1-11 for thirteen speed transmissions. I'm curious what is the best fuel economy you are getting with that drivetrain setup.
You'd be correct Hudson! The fuel mileage on this truck isn't a great example because it spends most of its time hauling 80,000lb loads, 120,000lbs gross in the hills of northern Ontario, However it's averaged a little over 6MPG doing this.
I haven't driven a 579 yet. I eventually want to buy my own truck but I dont know if I should get a Peterbilt 579 or a Freightliner Cascadia. Im definitely getting a manual transmission as automatic is horrible.
Bunk size is also a huge factor comparing the Kenworth to this unit. Much taller than this Peterbilt, but this unit is equipped with full lockers, a 15 L ISX Cummins and an 18 speed automatic, opposed to the Kenworth's 13 L Paccar engine and 12 speed automatic.
It all depends what concept of truck you get, Cascadias, Western Star 4700's, Kenworth T680, Mack Granite, International Prostar's all have much wider cabin's then this model.
Trucker_Trav6132 But no American truck has such a big cabin and are not as tall as European trucks I saw American trucks in Croatia are not that big trucks And are not strong as a European of 730 or 750 factory hp
Our trucks are 13 feet 6 inches tall, and the cabin is a couple inches of that height, however no american trucks come factory with a HP rating of 700, the biggest factory HP is 600 I believe.

How the hell you turn the trailer lights on?
There is a knob to the left that twists!
How the hell didn't you know that?
I that a Bison truck?
Unfortunately I'm not allowed to disclose that kind of information, but if you have a keen eye I'm sure you can find clues.
Bad Azz!!
Amazing interior.... not a fan of the yellow color outside
wash, spin, dry, tumble. Sorry that was a scene from Airplane. :-)
what size flat screen TV could you put in there?
We have a driver that squeezed a 40" tv in it, it's snug but it fits, the mount is located in a different position then most trucks.
Steve steve. 18" will fit easily, a 24" is tight.
How do you turn on the outlets? My inverter is not popped?
i give it to peterbuild over freighlines on the seat
My its 2017 peterbilt 579
Mpg
No fridge?
Yes sir it does have a fridge, it is located on the lower passenger side of the bunk, I guess I forgot to include that!
American trucks have such a narrow cabin compared to European trucks

Trucker_Trav6132 European truck 15 to 16 feet 7 inches tall and the cabin is around 11, 12 feet

This truck is wayyyy too tight inside. I can't stand half roof trucks while over the road. It's a pretty truck though. I'm just too tall for it.
That says FORD all over it!😂😂😂

good English bravo ..most of us truckers are speaking with theirs ass****
Thank you! I do my best lol. Keep it shiny side up, driver.
Automatic??? Wheres the fun of driving a truck if its Automatic😒
nice but not a classic
There's nothing like the classics my friend! Unfortunately they are a dying breed.
I hear yeah but it is a nice rig
okay,go buy a Volvo.
Currently have one as well, a 2016 Volvo VNL 670 13 speed with a 15 liter cummins.
