Like to keep the mirrors clean, no antennas, put them on back of cab. Also the roof horns do not help the fuel mileage, & the under cab train horn is quite effective. Believe the Aero style mirrors are more productive, but some love the classic look. A peterbilt salesman did a recent video wherein he noted that a 389 has the aerodynamics of a brick, he usually uses shoebox, but the description fits.

I'm not a trucker, and I know nothing about big rigs, but I love the looks of most of them, especially these classic looking Peterbilt trucks. I'm amazed they still make them today. Of course, they may look like the classic Peterbilt, but I'm sure it has been modernized a lot, which I guess is a good thing? At least they kept the classic look. I'm so glad of that, because I want to see these trucks for years to come. I love the looks of any Peterbilt truck that even remotely looks like it. Some Kenworth trucks look good, too, but I don't know if they still make their trucks that look nice like the ones in the good old days? I realize that the two truck companies are owned by the same parent company, and I hope both are still good quality? I'm sure they are. I wouldn't mind owning one of these trucks (minus the trailer) just to use as a grocery getter, and an everyday vehicle to get around in. Of course, I know I would have to get a commercial drivers license first. The main reason I would want to drive a truck like this around for my own personal use is because I think it would be cool, and I would feel so much safer in a real truck (a gigantic truck). I've got to win the lottery first, though.

You will be pleased with the Paccar. Hire a good driver and it will get better mpg and less trouble than the red motors. I have over a million miles on Paccar pulling 80000 lb loads on 3200 mile weekly turns over the Rockies and down south. IDLE EVERY NIGHT ALL NIGHT AND GET 7+ mpg consistent running 70 mph. The Paccar 12 speed auto is a great option to pair up with that Paccar motor when the world smooths out and you can order em the way you want em. Glad to see the tall bedroom. Most quality OTR drivers prefer comfort and roominess over “old school flattops. Glad to hear you are still rolling after not hearing any updates for a looong time. ROLLSAFE!

Hey Wondering Pete, appreciate the info you have in your videos. Good luck with the new trucks. I have a 2022 with the same dash. I will give you a heads up. With mine the clock in the digital dash doesn't keep time. Also I had an issue where the dash froze up. None of the gauges were working. I shut the truck off waited a couple of minutes after the dash shut down, restarted the truck and all was well. Lastly mine has developed a squeak went to the dealer and they said they found a loose panel and tightened it. That did not work. Hopefully these are problems you won't have to deal with. Overall. I have no issues with the whole digital dash thing. Would I prefer the old type ? Yes but, in the end they both do what's needed. Again thanks for taking the time to make these videos, a lot of good information.
