First look 2019 Peterbilt 579 Platinum Owner Operator

[@Forsaken_Angel_of_Darkness]

I'm not really a fan of 579s w/o a skirt package, but, your boys do a great job making them look clean and classy

[@SteveCarbone]

We really like this set up

[@chrisblanchard3882]

I love the 579 over the 389. Much more room in the sleeper. The only thing I’d change is the fifth wheel. It’s too low for hauling chemical tankers. But what a gem. Nice price too.

[@michaeltaylor2940]

I drive a 579 company truck now, and love the space. This is beautiful and has me leaning this way as I plan for my o/o dreams.

[@SteveCarbone]

Make it happen! Good luck!

yeah i got a question about the truck, how much would one Cost exact same except less chrome and more black. (i like a little chrome but i dont want it to own the look of the truck, i want it to stand out) and a Paccar engine instead of a cummins?

How about the new sleeper Peterbilt has for the 579, with a ton of room for the top bunk, ladder, storage at the top as well as power outlets ?

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

With Kenworth coming out with the W990 utilizing this 2.1 meter cab I'm curious to see if Peterbilt will do a long hood model like Kenworth has done with the W900 line, hence the W990. Also heard something about as of 2025 no more air cleaners on the outside of the trucks.

[@gregzette7348]

Beautiful! You wouldn't happen to have one equipped the same way, but with single bunk, in legendary teal inbound would you. I have a 2017 579 but would like the Cummins instead of the paccar.

[@SteveCarbone]

Yes I do

[@jschlesinger2]

The chromed-out cars of the '50s and '60s live on...in trucks like this one.

[@juliankinnard]

When are you going to do one of these 579's up like that two tone chocolate tan 300" wheel base 389? Another amazing video. And another great truck. We have a few of these here in fort worth where I work at TNT Crane and Rigging but they are bare bones chop top coffin sleepers and cabs with 10 speed transmissions. I don't think anyone quite appreciates a stand up sleeper quite like some who is 6'4". Nothing but the best from Oklahoma

[@SteveCarbone]

Thanks bub, very appreciated

[@jasonjohnson5184]

man if i had one,only thing i'd do is...maybe a whale tale for more aero. some yellow bulbs for the fog lights.other than that its a clean rig and will make someone happy&a lot of dough.

He's going to spend more time keeping it clean the hauling with it really nice truck

I was thinking the same thing. I drive i80 too often for any chrome to keep it's luster. Trim it all in matte black for me.

Can you get that sleeper without the top bunk and do the cabinet package on the back wall.

Nice video! I have a question. I am a truck driver from the netherlands, and our release of the trailer(fifth wheel) is always on the shoulder side, as in, right hand side. Why is it on the left in America? (sorry for the possible not correct english, I am dutch,,)

Can a 579 be built to these specs with a 230" wheel base with side skirts, just curious for when i buy a new one

[@brandonpryormusic]

Josh Riles that’s really really short.

[@joshriles84]

BrandonPryorMusic it is short id like 245 but I'm leased on at prime(i know i know) but 230 is their limit

[@brandonpryormusic]

Josh Riles gotcha. I never knew they had limits on wheel base. Guess that’s why I’ve never seen any kw or petes pulling a prime box. Good luck with it driver.

[@SteveCarbone]

Yes it can, no problem

[@TravisGinther]

Awesome. Do you make them in automatic transmission?

[@christopherbrooker1887]

What is the fuel storage on this one and is it possible to not have a tool box on the passenger side and have another fuel tank like a 75 gallon or so ? We get big fuel savings fueling at our hubs and an extra tank would make sure we could always reach one without have to stop at a truck stop

[@SteveCarbone]

fuel capacities vary, but yes you could add that tank

Hay bro, no one cares about the chrome as much as you think we do. We want to see the sleeper in great detai. I couldn't even see the bed how small or big. All the space in the sleeper, the fregirator how big it is, and generally how it looks not from the sleeper to the cabin but from the cabin to the sleeper. Thanks for making the video. Please tell us your financing options too.

[@SteveCarbone]

Thanks for the input bro, some people actually buy trucks form me because they are tired of monochromatic fleet specs and like some chrome to show pride in their ride. I will take your notes into consideration on the view and the refrigerator. Financing options are for good credit, 72 months, 10-25k down is common

Don't understand why not make a single split tank for a DEF & fuel. Will be look better than a plastic tank with cover. In Europe the Mercedes Actros truck have it that way, one single alloy tank for DEF & fuel.
