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
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.
I saw Vlogs of truckers while browsing CZcams. You must have a tough job. I remember traveling with my grandfather when I was 16 to buy our new home from Ann Arbor to Miami. Three of my girlfriends were with me in the truck my grandfather drove. It was a great trip for us girls. My grandfather even had me drive his truck for a little while. (their roads were quiet and under my grandfather's control) We were on a long journey. But we had so much fun. We could take a break wherever we wanted. Now we are studying at the university. I would love to make a trip like this again with my friends one day.
I drive an '18 cascadia but these new pete's look so good I might have to buy one used in a few years if I decide to go owner operator. Interesting to see the completely different interior from mine
I like that digital dash board. Especially love the fact that it has a voltmeter built in and it stays lit and active when you crank the engine so you can see the cranking voltage ⚡
Although I like the 389's better, this is a very nice truck. Don't be upset with yourself about the single bunk. It's an honest mistake. If the new owner is happy with the single bunk, leave it at that. You'll know for next time. Great job Keith!
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.
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
It's a shame that trucking has gotten to the point that truckers are rarely able to afford to own new trucks. Nice trucks, heads and shoulders above what the trucks were in the 70s & 80s.
@@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 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.
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.
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.
Firstly as someone who is starting to grow an interest in trucks (I'm a Brit), I love the look of this thing. I liked the walk-around to see more of what that one has to offer. I love the colour, engine, and especially the interior which was great. The standing up to get into the back would be a struggle If I ever got in one as I'm very tall. The Cabin space was great I liked the look of the bed area with all the storage and then the mount for the TV. If you don't mind me asking how much would one of those cost? (you can tell me In dollars)
The two examples I saw were listed at $239K. That's about average for a new rig of this caliber. It's sort of funny you like these trucks so much, because I'm American and love the cabover trucks you get in Europe. We don't get any cabovers here in the states anymore, and I just think how much sleeper space you could get if you took a COE truck and made it as long as a traditional cab truck like this one.
@@TenchiFox Yeah I've always wondered how they approach this in the design process. Because I like them both, as It started for me with the Euro trucks and then I looked at what you guys have over in the states and It is interesting to me how different they are for doing the same job. I think It's cool. For example how Volvo make a USA style truck to just sell more units of their great system (I've heard great things about their euro ones)
Okay so I really love the 389s but I'd be okay with this one too. Should have went with the green Apu and you don't have all that stuff hanging off the back of the cab everything's contained in one unit.
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.
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.
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.
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.
That's a very nice truck, you almost forgot Peterbuilt makes these vs the cinder block versions the old guys love to drive. Can the driver go back and order the 2nd bunk and just have the dealer install later down the road?
I drive a Peterbuilt 579 I think, with TMC. My truck does not have the Thermoking that can provide AC with the engine off. Does that run thru the APU system? That might be why we don't have them we don't have APU's. I like my truck, I do wish the sleeper birth curtin was one of those that wraps around the entire cab instead of cutting the cab in half (sleeper section) but ive seen some people make sun shade reflectors and put them on the window/dash window for privacy. That would do the trick and I could do that I just havent yet. Love the colour though.
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.
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.
What a beautiful truck. Inside the cabin all the switches and stuff like that look like they’re from an automotive manufacture, does Peterbilt by the switches from a specific car company? I’m talking about the door lock and the window switches Climate control spaceand stuff like that.
Without the top bunk, seems like a missed opportunity for more storage bins. Can't have too much storage.
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
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.
Yeah, can't ever fit enough triple cheesburgers.

Nothing beats a 389! gonna buy that style of truck until i end up in a plastic bag.

Would love to come over from the UK and drive one of these 👍🏻
It's a shame that trucking has gotten to the point that truckers are rarely able to afford to own new trucks. Nice trucks, heads and shoulders above what the trucks were in the 70s & 80s.
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.
@@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.

Thank you for the extra input!
Who would't want 2 dudes in a truck it's like Ace and Gary.LOL
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
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?
MAN,that’s a gorgeous machine.
If this was my truck, I would have added a HERD bumper. I know there is more drag, but it sure protects the front end.
AWSOME , thank you for sharing :)
My favorite truck and that orange is perfect
So beautiful, love from Brazil.
Wow, what a beauty. A far cry from what I drove at Roadway Express. lol
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.
Just look at that. Literally most perfect truck ever.
Not quite. It's missing the mirrors on the hood. An expensive truck like that should have them as standard equipment.
@@sigarms228 Ohh yes. And a radio.
Freaking gorgeous !!!
Keith, trucks are good upto 283 here in Snow Mexico.... And there's lots of 300+ inch WB big bunk trucks in Ontario as well....
Beautiful truck!
Good truck, fantastic colour.
I don't usually like aero trucks but damn that's sharp looking.

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
Very nice truck man, very nice! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful truck! I love that Omaha Orange!
Beautiful color

Much better than anything Renault have ever built or likely to build. Kinda like the Orange too. Nice one America.
What an absolute beauty. I’m buying a truck in mid 2024 and this is definitely in the running..
Esta Hermoso ese Peterbilt 💯 saludos desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Amazing color!
I have one he is not lying it drives like a dream the dash is really bright and I haven't found a way to dim it but other than that great job
It's amazing how an interior sleeper Peterbilt 579 part will fit in a Kenworth T680

Ha..just moved to greeley. Ill stop by sometime.
Kind of a bummer that the cruise control buttons on the left side and not next to the jake brake.
I hope the customer is OK with a single bunk
The driver will be much happier and safer
Beautiful 🍊
Nice truck but I just can't imagine having huge payments with $5 a gallon diesel...
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.
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
