Thanks for the great video John Nice to see your family involved as it will give you a chance to see your son and show him what you go through at work

[@Trucker316]

Beautiful ride! Makes me almost want to drop local and come back out OTR. As for the trailer gap, I always ran with the fifth wheel up so that the trailer nose right was right at the front tandem guard. Easier turn radius, and the ride isn't as bouncy as it is when it's all the way back. I never really had issues scaling loads, either.

[@pacoloco5618]

The side doors in the sleeper are primarily for an emergency exit, just so happen that you can also get to your storage under the bunk from outside.

[@lDreaxl]

So cool you have your channel on the side of your truck.

[@colinsphoneemail]

That "fan" is the condenser... doesn't blow air into the cab

[@messamathies3982]

Very good that’s my next truck

[@mikelewis5015]

Wow calypso is a beauty John. I personally think they could made the fridge bigger. Also the editing on this video is legendary, some of your finest work John

[@captain.john.]

Thank you! Yes I agree the fridge is a fail in my option.

[@suze816]

Great video for a beautiful truck. I wish the weather had been better as I would have liked to hear you start it up, and hear it outside and from inside. I have to wonder how much Freightliner likes being compared to a Prius ! Too funny, but then I have a Navigator, myself.

[@michaelablett368]

Nice rig!

Excellent demonstration!

[@jodygotyourgirlngone]

Thanks for the video - nicely done!

[@hkinley55]

Nice. I watched you guys to gain knowledge when I start branding on KZbin (for Real Estate). Plus I love trucks!! :). I like the side door for storage.

[@captain.john.]

Awesome!

[@Synctyrez613]

Nice tour of a nice truck! Enjoy it👍

[@jalthealusdavis8762]

Interesting technology in the truck. It has come a long way. I was surprised to see a lever on the steering wheel column for drive and reverse. Reminds me of driving a forklift. I would have expected a regular shifter on the floor or dash but I understand the lever would save room to move around in the cab. Nice looking truck and seems very comfortable to drive.

[@stuartloggins3691]

Always keep your fingers and thumbs out of the spokes on a steering wheel.

[@hooyah_whit7054]

I thougt the 2022's were the New Gen 579s. This one looks like the 20-21 Ultraloft. I drive one...Love it!!!!

[@captain.john.]

The new generation came out in July 2022. I got mine in April. Missed it by a few months 😪

Ventilated seats on a big rig is a must.

Looks exactly like my 2018 579. Check the lines for the bunkheater its facing toward fuel tank. Good luck on your journey.

[@Maoud2]

Omg the cupholders next to the bed are god tier but the ones up front are subpar. In a freightliner you could store just about anything in those 3 big ass holders; headphones, wallet, phone, snacks, coins anything. These ones look like they would have stuff falling out

[@captain.john.]

Yes 100%! The new body style addresses the front cup holders.

[@Big-Cjl-Chris]

For a 2022 truck the switches and dials are still very old school.

[@ohhhcrap]

thats a "peterbilt" thing they are trying to hang on to the old ways and still intergrade the new tech under it to try and appease the old dinosaurs that are still truckin'

[@johnstroud7244]

Love the new truck and tour of the truck.

[@thomaskirkpatrick4031]

Keeping the trailer tight to the tractor saves on fuel.

[@montiraruba2831]

The front guard is more than just for deer collisions. It is also designed for Brake-Checkers!!!!

I wish. Unfortunately I can see 3 seconds into the future so I never have that collision 💥

[@saimontewelde4678]

Nice truck Trucker John

[@ecoluhur2114]

It’s cheaper to replace the deer guard than it is to replace the sensor for the collision mitigation system

[@pep5772]

Yes,that sensor is more important than a radiator.

Can it be turned off?

@@majedalmawri the CMS? nope. you can temporarily turn off the lane departure warning system though

[@peteschiavoni]

Sweet looking truck!!

[@GoodStuffReview]

Thank you for the tour. I'm looking at a new company and they have a few different trucks to choose from. I've never driven modern peterbilts so it's nice to get a good look at the inside. I've mostly driven first gen Freightliner cascadias and the Kenworth T-680. I like both of them but the T-680 doesn't impress me with it's braking power or headlights. I would love to know what you think of the brakes and headlights now that you've driven it for a while.

[@captain.john.]

So far it's great. It has disc breaks which is way better than drum. The headlights are not as bright as the freightliner.

[@GoodStuffReview]

@@captain.john. Thank you John. I had disc brakes on a couple of my Cascadias and they are impressive. I'm happy for you to have that upgrade. I always felt very safe with those brakes. I don't know if anybody has headlights as good as Freightliner's right off the production line. Thanks again for your response and be safe out there.

[@philipsmith5694]

Nice rigg John!!! Does that have the 573 Cummins motor !!!??? I found with the navigation system screen display !!! If you leave it while driving!!! The actual NSP adjusts itself !!! Too the places you drive !!!! Like training a computer !!! All the best travel safe !!! Take care godbless you an your family!!!

[@captain.john.]

Thanks Philip. It's the Paccar motor.

[@LyfovRyan51]

Nice truck. I'm interested in the idea of super singles on the drive axles. Don't see that much in New Zealand.

[@shoey64]

Maybe on the ladder you said it didn't go to the floor. Maybe on the left at the bottom that black foot peg might pull down to touch the floor. Maybe.

[@captain.john.]

Doesn't look like it does. But it holds weight very well.

Can you make a video on how to disable the "lane disparture" feature. I just bought a 2023 579 an I couldn't see the nob that shows for lane disparture

[@captain.john.]

I'm not sure about the 2023, but the 2022 has a Bendex button to mute the function for about 10 minutes only.

I had a thermo king APU for when the truck was off. Not sure if you have one but that's how I used power with the truck off.

[@americanfreedomlogistics9984]

When your boy gets on the truck with you get him Set up with a Prime “guest” ID... this way he he get himself in and out of the terminals on his own when you’re there. I’ve heard of drivers having their kid’s allowance put on their ID cards

Same as my 2018 Pete. Not impressed! They haven’t improved anything in 4 years? Lol… Peterbilt needs to improve storage and layout of convenience’s. As well as catch up with technology and comfort inside the cabs of their trucks.

[@captain.john.]

Agreed. The new model 2022 has some improvements but not much.

[@lookingbehind6335]

Nice…..at least it doesn’t have the Peterbilt “classic coffin” interior. The fake leather and button covers went out in the 70’s.

[@radzer0966]

No steering wheel button for phone answer or hangup? Seems like a safety issue if you have to goto the touchscreen for that.

[@captain.john.]

Yes you can answer and hang up on the steering wheel but I never use it so can't remember which buttons.

[@johndollahite655]

Very good informative Video. Is the Jake Brake NOT automatically engaged by the Cruise Control ?? What is the Max Governed Speed on this Truck ?? Have a great weekend T.J.. Stay Safe...

[@captain.john.]

The Jake break works with the cruise if it's on but isn't automatic like the freightliner.

I thought all Prime trucks are governed at 62 MPH

[@johnngure5474]

Does this truck turn easily, i know the Cascadia has a shorter turn radius

💯👍👍👍 Excellent truck. So, what option are you able to add when you ordered it? Is it like buying a new car at a dealership or are you limited to a few options pre-determined by Prime Inc??

Hey Mr John love the new truck tour and a question does all the Prime fleet have single tires in the back ??

Theo owns the truck and runs under prime authority.

[@WillCarter1976]

@@captain.john. Success Leasing owns the truck until he's paid it off. After that, he owns the truck, but until that day he doesn't have the title and therefore doesn't own it, in fact he has zero equity in it and its a walk away lease where if he misses payments, or something unfortunate happens, he gets nothing to show for any payments already made. It's the same lease purchase as anyone else is getting at Prime. A lot of people outside Prime say that PRIME stands for Pretending it's my equipment, just for the reasons you're unfortunately perpetuating here.

[@captain.john.]

Yes but it's more annoying in the peterbilt. The speaker for the system is right over your head and is way louder than the freightliner.
