Great breakdown. They definitely average better mpg than 7.6, that idle time really made for a bad representation. I truly do love how comfortable my Pete is, but that part comparison was pretty shocking.
Kenworth W900L trucks are the most comfortable trucks and has always been BUT they are the most expensive trucks on the market and it always been and it always will be.
I bought brand new Peterbilt 579 in 2021.It was 565 HP 18 speed.This truck has C15 motor and touch wood I have 466600 miles and have no major problems besides only oil change.I cleaned DEF ONE TIME ONLY.This truck is beautiful and very reliable as long as u drive @ 65 miles/hr .
Further proving the point, proper maintenance and road safety prevents most things! Most people act as though DEF creates an issue all the time, and you're at 466600 miles and only one clean!
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News it’s true.Even dealership in Stockton told they don’t have to heat it since it looks very clean.I was charged less for cleaning.
Hey Ronen. Luv your videos. Although I am in Australia. I find most of the information is very applicable. I'm a owner operator. With a 2005 Western star. Towing a road train carting grain cheers Tom
I would say that in today's market they are average trucks. I am driving a Kenworth t880. It's all cheap plastic inside and nothing to brag about anywhere else.
As someone that drives a 2023 579 with the mx-13, I can tell you that its been pretty decent so far so long as you run fuel injector cleaner on the regular because the injectors can have issues. Definitely a comfortable truck. Freightshaker gets its name for a reason. Also, the transmission is pretty smooth on the truck as well for the automatic. The only thing I definitely would say needs an update is the infotainment system they put in there. The software crashes all the time and runs android 4.4. They really need to update it. Only other negative is the fridge is small. Otheewise, solid truck and hardly have to worry about the shop because I'm almost never in it!
Golden cow (now white cow 😂) got about 60 2024 Petes and I got one of them that I just moved out of - back to a Cascadia. (You can probably see I am a company driver.) It can manage some mad fuel mileage - try 24L/100km hauling light. That's 10mpg. It rarely go above 30L/100 unless I'm hauling heavy like paper on hwy 17. The bunk AC is less integrated than Freightliner. Initial build quality is questionable. A rubber bushing/cap on driver side handrail is crooked from factory. Buttons are lazy. Something don't sit right; 2 curtain hangers broke already. Shore power is a 20A plug, very hard to get cord for; I had to make my own. I will need 2 keys when I run these, because there is no remote luggage door release, unless you get one with sleeper access door. Need the second key to open it for tools while truck is running. Cummins X15 is fine, but that 12 speed manumatic is a headache. It keeps throwing transmission faults, and I really hate how it manages near the speed cap, plus it coasts at 500rpm instead of the usual 700rpm idle, makes for one shaker, and it does it from any gear, and will not override unless I go manual mode, where it imposes various limits just to stymie me. I think the root cause is 12th gear being too tall. The last time it went to the dealer again and they offered me a loaner truck, I asked to move "permanently" into it, dropping a laundry list of complaints along the way.
I bought my 579 in December last year so far I love it. I get around 8.5 mpg my only complaint is I should have gotten a different axle ratio but I’ve not had any issues with the truck at all
PACCAR engines are not known for reliability. Were it me, I'd be putting a Cummins X15 and a diesel-powered APU. I don't like the battery pack APU because the prime mover will start up in the middle of the sleep period and then the damn thing will start revving at about 1200-1300 RPM - immediately after starting!! No time to allow the oil pump to get the oil up into the top of the engine - which is of course not good for reliability.
@1:55, For me, the reason I would strongly consider getting a Peterbilt, is there power going up heels and mountains! Secondly, is there comfort. After that, Freightliner, definitely beats them in every other aspect.
That is why I drove a mechanical. The fuel economy was a bit worse, about 6.2, but I could patch it with wire and fix it myself, or at least drive to MY mechanic whose rate was less than half that.
Hey. I do have the 2024 Kw t680 . Paccar mx13 510 ho and I do step Deck work with diesel APU, and im doing over 9.5 mpg. Also, I have the 2020 Peterbilt 579. Also, with paccar, 510 HP. Whit rig master diesel apuI love pets and Kw. I owned the Volvo 760, and I did love it also . Owned the international.. I don't. Care about people talking shit about paccar. They are good.

Peterbilt and kw all the wayA I DONT idle, AND TAKE CARE of THE TRUCK THEY WILL TAKE CARE of YOU
_It really depends on the engine, but you can get a lot of power and fuel efficiency. If you just delete that EPA system and get rid of the DPF filter. The Cummins is the best engine for power efficiency, yes, it is well known amongst American truckers that Peterbilt are expensive to repair_
I drive a 96 9200 with a 12.7L set at 525 1750 and I get 6.8-7.5 loaded depending on how much I’m pulling in my tank and empty I’m getting 9.8. She ain’t pretty by no means but she goes above and beyond getting it done.
Hey Ronan, you mentioned the peterbilt would cost you 150k usd that seems really cheap. Does that include the taxes? In the USA there is FET tax charged by the dealership when you purchase brand new unit and its usually around 17,000 usd depending of the built. There is no exemption to this tax.
The bumper price made a dent by 5000$ as compared to others and that’s when the parts comparison went bad. The other parts were more or less in line with the rest.
Yes that is a lot for a bumper! These newer trucks the bumpers are crap and to low to the ground. At the same time If a driver is a good driver they should not be damaging bumpers. I am 62 years old and have never damaged a front truck bumper.
The amount of money you profit Will be washed by the depreciation at the resale unless you have a good paying rates/market. All in all its a lose lose situation for all trucking companies.
Never will be another N-14 or ISX 15 the X15 is horrible unless u tune and delete it and adjust some parameters I still dive a ISX 15 not ready for a inframe but I rather that than buy a new truck unless that Truck has A Cat in it and Not the Acert C-15😂🫡

I would not buy a Pete simply because they have a much reduced support network in my experience and definitely do not get one with a Paccar motor. Freightliner might not ride as well but you can get them parts and fixed anywhere.
@@xenogames5610 I'm in NYC, there is one small repair shop on Staten Island (very nice guys, but it is not a good location for me) and one parts house in Brooklyn that is very slow to get parts. Most Freightliner parts I can get either the same day or the next day from multiple dealers.
@kmg501 Well, that's just unlucky. My local pete pretty much has everything in stock, or at least available the next day. Also, any pete I've been to across the country has been the same way for me
Our company recently switched to 579 w/Cummins motors. Nothing major has broke yet but build quality is junk. Leaking trucks, loud front suspension noises, alignment problems, electrical problems, stuff just falling off the trucks. Just built like crap. I’d rather have my International LT back. Most of the drivers would
Yes, that what i noticed. Switching back to Volvo. I bought 3 brand new petes, 1 they couldn't repair had to return it. Two other ones always have oil leaks, pdf problems, etc. Only 400k on the engines. My volvos started having same problems at 800k.

That depends on the driver doesn't it? I'm sure with proper maintenance and road safety these trucks will last a lifetime with no major breakdowns. As can be said about most trucks really
Let's be real, the only reason people drive the 579 is so they can say they drive a peterbilt. Just the same with the t680 and Kenworth. The reality is the 579 and T680 are the worst Tupperware torpedoes available today in the North American market.
@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News Cascadias are the best business/bottom line truck. Volvo is the best drivers truck. LT625 is the best value truck. What's the 579 and T680 the best at? Nothing, it's cascadia price, LT625 build quality, volvo maintenance, and the worst ride quality of all the aerodynamic trucks. The only reason people want 579s and T680s is for the badge on the hood.

Some say how many pennies they get each mile ....I get 0.78 per mile would take a cut for equipment I could take pride in . Pride in your ride .
Peterbuild has very expensive spare parts and not all shops have them, not all shops take them for repair. An hour of work costs more and not all mechanics know how to service. An old truck with a Packard costs much less than with a Cummins.
