For 33 years my dad had a Uniflite cabin cruiser, 42 feet long. For those that think that's a truck, it's not, lol. Uniflite was a boat company out of Bellingham, Wa.. It came out of the factory in '73 w/twin Cummins 903's which are 8 cylinder & about 330 HP apiece, maybe a tad more. My father bought it from the original owner in early '83 & took great care of that boat and those engines and I learned to love Cummins ever since. Back in '73 when our model was made Uniflite either put Cummins in them or 6 cylinder Detroit's My old man always said the Detroit's were excellent engines too. When I see a Pete w/Cummins it makes me happy especially since CAT had to get out of the truck engine business. Anyway, gorgeous Peterbilt you had there and my only thing is I'd want the double bunk which you mentioned. Nice vid here too.
You can get a Green APU for way less than the TK TriPac. The Green APU can be set up to keep your batteries fully charged. Parts for the Green APU can be had at any automotive parts store. It also weighs less than the TK unit. The top of the CB antenna should be at least a foot higher than the faring for better SWR and reception. Having a 13'6' trailer behind it will block the signal. I have3 had CB Radios since 1969 so I know something about it
I drive a 2019 version of this same model. LOVE IT. Super comfortable to ride and drive in. As for upper bunk...WHO CARES?!! Mine has one but it is useless unless you are team or 2 dudes. i would rather have the open ceiling for excellent stereo sounds. Couple of things you didnt mention or show, Excellent Stereo system with huge Subwoofer under bunk!! and....nice pull out workstation, also, the factory fridge is excellent, lastly, the privacy curtain uses a full-length "flexible" magnet as a closure, Works really well. NO more fighting a stupid zipper up and down. you can just push it and the curtain opens!! BUT....my ride is ....White...whaat-whaa....I love that Orange...Looks tasty!
You can't go wrong with that Cummins. I'm glad the grill isn't plastic like my Intertrashinal truck has. I like the orange 🍊 of course I'm from East Tennessee.
Usually when you order it without a top bunk you also order extra cabinets that go along the sides and back wall this truck has neither for some reason
My career has mostly been in KW T800 W900 and T680/880 but I did get to drive a 579 once as a rental and I loved it the cab and sleeper are amazingly designed the perfect combination of old school and new
Love the paint on that machine. I think that the 579 are the best looking tractors on the roads today, although I have no idea what the overall opinion of them is from the people who have extensive experience on the road driving various makes/models of semis.
Just drove one for the first time yesterday, amazing truck. I've loved my Freightliner Cascadia, drove one for 7 months, but this new Pete is just on another level. My only complaint are the mirrors, the mirrors are too small, can't see much out of them, sure I would get used to them after a while though.
If manufacturers can somehow make the damn steering wheel last for more than 200000 miles without falling apart and make the sleeper cabin a lot more insulated, it would make a world of good. Noise from the apu fan hanging on the back just reverbiates inside the sleeper and sucks when trying to sleep.
I hardly hear my APU fan in My Volvo 760. Then again hauling a refer that normally is running 24/7 make you not notice the slight APU condenser fan running.
If you're not trying to pull a deck with it, and the axle ratio is fairly tight, it should give good mileage. As to fuel prices, they are coming down, at least in the far North. Down to $6.40 US/gal.
$5 dollars a gallon is cheap that’s about £3.89 pounds, we’re paying between £1.77to £1.90 a litre in the uk so that’s £7.90 a gallon or when converted it’s just under $11 dollars a gallon and we run at 44 tons goss or 97,000lbs
It’s expensive for us but at the end of the day the US is the 2nd largest oil producer in the world. Unfortunately you guys in mainland Europe just don’t have that sizable of an oil reserve. Everyone says become energy independent but it’s not that easy if you don’t have that much of a natural reserve. US gas will be inexpensive again eventually. Blessings to you.
These new dash information systems for trucks and cars are expensive to replace. It is all integrated throughout the entire systems plus the many computer chips and motherboards. There is no long term warranty on electronics.
@@exilemike I never had a problem with em. I'd take the fuel economy benefits of super singles over duals if I'm ordering a truck that'll have the highest mpg.
I've had my CDL since 1995 and all I've driven were manual transmissions! If I had to start driving again I wouldn't drive an automatic! In my mind an automatic is like Christmas without Santa, it doesn't feel right! Lol
Hey man great view I like Volvo truck scania and last Peterbilt but man this new Peterbilt is so looks good strong aerodynamics bravo to Peterbilt for USA is best truck I from Europe but dam I love this Peterbilt.
Nice cockpit upgrades. A modern dash, steering wheel, etc. however, I am not comfortable not seeing dedicated primary and secondary air gauges. Even if the digital dash is fully configurable. Looks like the buyer is still staying old school on the brakes by staying with drums front and rear. This is a pretty truck. I like the looks of the truck overall. But it kinda has the overall look and feel of a Volvo VNL 670. Not necessarily a bad thing, unless your totally a conventional long nose guy.
Man its SO QUIET! That really suprised me. Started liking those big trucks, the game Snowrunner got me into liking them and the Diesel Brothers also helped. And tbh im not a big fan of the orange but i also have to admit that i do like it. And i like oranges anywya and a cold sliced orange tastes really good, as long as you dont bite down on the seed. But the single bed and verry high up to the celing isent nececarely a bad thing, specially if your tall and not a big fan of crawling into a sardencan of a bunk bed lol.
I just was handed a 2023 by my company, similar but with the smart cruise control no Nav. I absolutely love it except for one little but annoying thing: the 4 way switch is on the left side of the steering wheel. You can’t see it and have to reach to turn it on.
I used to work for Rush Truck Center in Winter Garden FL. And, The closest model to the 589 was the 387. Honestly nothing against what Peterbilt has done with keeping up with the times, I still like the look of a 379 better. Granted when I still worked there we were getting in the 388’s and 389’s. Still think the long square hood looks better than the 386/387 Round style hoods. By the way I loved working for Rush
Yes they do have a special program of making LNG and CNG trucks, but to build one your self online, you need to beg them to send you the right pamphlet& dealer to order from.
The sad part is owner put 17k+ into having an apu and espar and that driver is still gonna be idling the truck. Full lockers is a must. Needed in every truck
@@otrookie I am not saying your not a truck driver. So do idle some don’t. Most I see with an APU don’t idle nearly as much as without. They say if your under 50% idle time on the life of the truck it is actually not bad. Just saying your comment assuming he is going idle all the time without knowing the driver.
@@wizard_of_poz4413 It's just probably because majority of truck drivers over there would rather choose a truck with manual shifter then make their work easier and use an automatic one. Over here in Europe we'd rather drive our personal cars with manual transmission and use automatic trucks because it's easier when you drive long distances.
@@wizard_of_poz4413 I wouldn't know that so I have no say. But this Peterbilt so far looks closest to what we have in Europe, at least dashboard-wise and the shifter placement with the retarder
Meanwhile here in UK, I look at this gorgeous looking 579 with severe envy. Damn these narrow ass impractical roads. Closest I will get to this is maybe the DAF XG+ (also being a PACCAR brand). Maybe one day.
What are the brand of seats and size of those seats that you have in that truck. I am spewing a truck and right now looking at atlas seats but like the features on these seats.

Without the top bunk, seems like a missed opportunity for more storage bins. Can't have too much storage.

Agreed.
Unless you need to stand upright while standing on the bed 😭
Not everyone needs that much storage
Don’t worry, you won’t need much space for mac Jones.

Nothing beats a 389! gonna buy that style of truck until i end up in a plastic bag.
Thank you for the video, all what I can say is this truck looks very beautiful!Happy Easter to you !
Super impressive truck! Thanks for sharing it!
The inside reminds me of a 10yr old freightliner cascadia. They'd never beat a pete, but they were miles ahead on the interior space.
Mr Volvo may disagree?

My only complaint are the mirrors, the mirrors are too small, can't see much out of them, sure I would get used to them after a while though.
There is nothing wrong with the mirrors.
They make another version of the mirrors that are more like the old school size mirrors.
Are you still driving it? How is maintenance and mpg so far ? What engine and transmission
It's amazing how an interior sleeper Peterbilt 579 part will fit in a Kenworth T680
Beautiful truck! I love that Omaha Orange!
Would love to come over from the UK and drive one of these 👍🏻

Nice truck but I just can't imagine having huge payments with $5 a gallon diesel...

As to fuel prices, they are coming down, at least in the far North. Down to $6.40 US/gal.
Maybe if you were dumb and signed a lease. Get your own authority, and keep 100% of the fuel surcharge.
@@testosteroneinc.3800 I did that year's ago but that's totally irrelevant..$5 a gallon diesel is still $5 a gallon regardless

Beautiful, congratulations, that the best choice 👏 ❤️ I love peterbil.
A Flow Below on the drives would really complete the aerodynamics. I’d spec it as a 6x2 with a lift axle and super singles, too.
Super singles suck, if you blow one, you're done,with duals you can run till you get to a service center.
