589 Test Drive Results and thoughts. JW 970-518-5520

Great video! No, there are not a lot of in-depth videos of the 589. Nice looking truck.

[@3406e]

Sad to see the classic looking trucks going away, also not a fan of the plastic interior but it is what it is. Guess old school guys like myself gotta restore our 379 and 389 when the time comes.

The tilt on the mirror is clutch!

[@chadbollinger7281]

I’ve lived in 680’s and I never use that passenger side spot mirror. Just no need for it with how much glass a driver has around them.

[@LargeCarjw]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@chadbollinger7281]

The daycab company has a video out there where they have an extended daycab option that can only be ordered from the factory for the paccar 2.1 meter cab. I’d love to see ya build one of them. Be beneficial for a 6’4” guy like myself 🤣😂🤣

[@LargeCarjw]

I will definitely try to do that. Thanks for watching!

[@taylor11089]

A Lot of Western Dist Trucks on the Lot.

Beauty ❤👌

[@just-incase3483]

Will those mirror brackets fit on a 567??

[@LargeCarjw]

Great question. I should ask Pete if they might offer the 589 mirrors on the 567. Stay tuned!

[@sc4538]

​@LargeCarjw I'm wondering if Peterbilt will offer the 4 horn option and the torpedo lights and V shape visor on 567s and 579s.

[@scottycollins1829]

Same cab,, so yes

[@williamkiser5611]

Yes, 567, 579, 589 sadly I believe are the same truck except for the hood style and length. Terrible decision

[@just-incase3483]

@@williamkiser5611 I have a 567 daycab and I hate these tour bus mirrors on it, I will switch them if they do fit thanks!!

[@user-jr9qc1dr6c]

RIP Peterbilt

[@jameshassel5838]

They should have keep the 389, an made the 589 an option truck. Just let's you know how dumb they can be sometimes.

[@realcdcruze3558]

I don’t understand why they replaced with 389 with this? 1 windshield so when you get a crack you have to replace the whole thing and with those angles your bound to go through many. The plastic on the dash just looks cheap. I mean, why not pick a better plastic. The digital dash that is full of bugs when the analogue just worked.

[@LargeCarjw]

The only good response I could give you is to come to Denton Texas and take a factory tour. Everyone who walks through the plant quickly understands that the manufacturing process is complicated. Unfortunately, it is not about getting rid of the 389. It is about the difficulty of trying to do things the old way efficiently. There always comes a point in time where change is necessary. Listen to the latest Joe Rogan podcast with Elon Musk. Elon states multiple times that ideas are easy to come up with. Mass producing things are the most difficult thing he does. Even more so than building rockets. There is alot of wisdom in what he is talking about. I will miss the 389 but today I was in a 589 with a 63/72" Flat top. I was outrageously impressed, and the quality of life in that truck especially just took a major leap forward. When you have ample space in a flat top WITH A FRIDGE and 110 Outlest pre-wired! 😳 I feel the flat Top guys are going to love this truck.

[@RicardoMartinez-mo2zu]

Peterbilt really messed up. Cab to sleeper is basically a 567 579. Should of left 389 or change it to a 399 for a last classic

[@sc4538]

A lot of negative things will be said about the 589, it's not going to be as well liked as it's ancestors, 359, 379, 389, at least Peterbilt can still build a classic style truck when those are a dying breed.

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

Yep, the 589 still looks like a Peterbilt and still has the classic Peterbilt style and characteristics. At least they go a totally different direction like what Kenworth did with the W990.

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

I love my W990, but I would be willing to take a 589 if the boss was to offer me an option .

[@sc4538]

​@waynenorbreyjr9371 the W990 looks more like an International 9900i than it does a Kenworth.

[@Dinoxt12]

Sadly...Peterbilt should just continued make the 389 model. With it's, True Following like a Harley-Davidson Motorcycle. It would of been Hardly any, retooling, new vender parts, etc. Instead of working on their Paccar engine making it a top notch engine. These $100000 plus figure...Engineers have just about have everything, Screwed-Up, with trying to Justify there Jobs so they don't get Fired, with Screwed-Up Ideas. And there's no end to it. Look it the BullCrap with Electric Vehicles, catching on fire, running out of power in the middle of the freeway or highway etc...Go-Figure. I have 2015 389 Big Nose, when time comes I'm planning on installing a CAT Reman Engine & Load & Gitt, down the road...Come-On.

[@WayneKerr69420]

Eh its better than a cascadia

[@dans6234]

Same truck as fleet trucks with a square nose. Damn shame

[@EricBrueggeman-f3s]

One ugly looking truck

[@joshb2088]

Can you order the truck without side mounted air cleaners

[@LargeCarjw]

Not at this time.

[@williamkiser5611]

Are u insane

[@garynelson3634]

Paccar junk

[@WayneKerr69420]

It could be worse. it could be a maxxforce.
