- Since its debut in 2012, the Model 579 - now Peterbilt's on-highway flagship - has received a few of the aforementioned refinements, like the addition of the hyper-aerodynamic EPIQ package in 2014 and long-awaited integrated sleeper, UltraLoft, four years later. Beyond those, design or technology upgrades were incremental and subtle.
When Peterbilt debuted its refreshed Model 579 last year it marked a fairly significant revamp - at least for Paccar, which has historically favored small refinements over full-blown reinvention.

For a over the road truck this is one sharp looking truck! This truck and the Next generation T680 are my 2 favorites.
2016 was my last pet … over heated and water in my floor brand new truck

10 mpg without load, with 80000 pounds 7.5/8 mpg approx, the difference is that a European like a volvo Fh of 500hp produces more torque (2065ft lb) than a X15 565HP or a DD16 600HP consuming 10mpg with 40 tons in mountainous countries of Europe.
After putting a few miles from new " 50k" , I can tell you the fresh outside update didn't improve several issues with the past 579 and added some new problems.
First the intake vents on the side of the hood rattle so bad it's can be heard inside the cab with the windows up, the steering column plastic cover started rattling at around 40k just like my last 2 trucks " 20.00 in sound deadening mat would cure this" , the digital dash is a whole new world of terrible ideas, it was definitely not ready for production, nothing but trouble.
It can look good all day, but the cosmetics and interiors on these trucks are cheap and quality control is definitely lacking for something in this price range.
Gorgeous
I use to not like automatics, but after a year of it, it made me less fatigued, technology got better.
Try getting one to buy . Wait time is two years
Nice tractor
Is this what's going to replace the 389? I'm a huge fan of the 389. Well this truck is nice, it just doesn't give me the wow factor. 🇺🇸👍
589 is the replacement. We'll see it sometime in late 2023 or early 2024.
My fav truck as a driver 579 unfortunately i can't afford one. Smooth ride and plenty power is understatement idk how automatic is these days
I don't know about Peterbilt but the AMT from Freightliner constantly fights you when trying to make low speed maneuvers, specifically when backing. Just watch for the entire truck to start rocking side to side when the driver tries to slowly back up. It's the clutch grabbing and letting go repeatedly which if you keep the throttle where it is well continue to get worse. Anybody sleeping in back will get thrown around as well. The only way to stop it is to get off the throttle or step in it and jump backwards several feet all at once.
My opinion, all AMTs are garbage in the real world.
Caminhão Peterbilt , O Melhor de todos . Eu Quero Um ! 👏👍🇧🇷🙏❤️
Sou Apaixonado Pelo o Clássico 389 . Show.
hahahaha no, en brasil tienen camiones que son mejores, el scania R es muy superior.
@@stark3855 Peterbilt é Top demais ! Acho incrível esse Caminhão. No Brasil deveria ter uma Montadora da Marca Peterbilt. 👍
@@abencoadodedeus699 compa esta muy equivocado, peterbilt es la segunda marca de DAF, la primera marca de paccar es DAF y todos sabemos que Scania es mejor que daf, soy de Mexico, fabricamos los camiones norteamericanos en la empresa familiar ya cambiamos los peterbilt y los KW por scanias. Son muchísimo mejores
@@stark3855 OK ! Porém não deixo a minha vontade de um dia comprar um Caminhão Peterbilt. 👍🙏🏽
@@abencoadodedeus699 jajaja como vea compa, cuando vea que no es bueno se dará cuenta de que tiro el dinero, sobre todo para las carreteras de Brasil. Son más pesados, menos potentes, consumen mas combustible, tienen peor tracción, son mas ruidosos, mas incomodos, tienen mala maniobrabilidad, tienen más mantenimientos... 20.000$ mas al año que un europeo entre combustible y mantenimiento para tener un camión peor en todo.
Sold!
Do the Utraloft come with a driver's lounge (table in back) in a particular model or is that not a feature that's installed yet?
Wow wow looking forward great 👍 truck 🛻 great 👍👍👍👍🇦🇺🇺🇸
Well, mine doesn't have the rear suspension button to lower the 5th wheel when dropping a trailer
some controls are hard to reach, flasher lights button is under steering
I would like to ask a question. I’ve called 3 dealerships and no one actually knew how to answer. Question is how does the fuel system work with the dual tanks? Does they both pull fuel or does one pull from the other and can you fill the driver tank and passenger tank pull from that tank as well so if you want to run a short run and would like to prevent from fueling both tanks? I do understand the float does not reach the bottom of the tank so treat a 1/4 of tank like it’s empty for incline hills and bumps.
Pulls from one return to other with an equalizer line between the 2
100% truck 🛻 great 👍
Looks like a freightliner
That wheel placement looks like you’d have tired arms
Right
I seen two 1.3M 2.5M still driving the highways don't have to say anything else.
Нам бы, так жить!
Screw the paccar
Not really feeling the digital cluster
Wonderful, but there is a threat to these Diesel engines which is electric and hydrogen power namely electric that have 700 plus horsepower motors by design. These new trucks are here and are advancing by the day, month and year.
Still go to the end of the decade to rack up the dough and get ready to venture to a new industry or get electric power
it looks good, thats all. not very comfortable
