Is this the nicest old school 389 Tridrive? 😍

A look at the 389 Tridrive for WG Davis. Is this the nicest 389 so far? You be the judge 👊😎

[@edgiffuregiffuree8136]

Absolutely stunning. And I thought the black one couldn't be topped!

You guys are the king of tri-drive rigs! I hear companies in our industry of super heavy transport that they are going to tri-drive units. We only have one KW, was a beautiful rig until our office let it rust down in Houston after a long winter run in Minnesota! stupid. Is a pushing and pulling son of a gun!

[@mikethetrucknut]

Thanks Brad, we should get you guys another Tridrive and make it a Pete this time. 😉

[@bradh7472]

@@mikethetrucknut Mike I totally agree!! With the way work is right now they wont be getting trucks yet. They are beautiful rigs. If you ever need a picture of one of your trucks in Denton let me know, I would love to go take one. lol :-)

Beautiful truck. What is the frame length or wheel base? It has got to be 300” or better, that’s my guess.

hey Mike Iowa Customs makes the fridge and microwave combo can get them for either side. What is the longest wheel base you can have in BC and Alberta on a tridrive?

[@matthewrogerholdcroft7773]

Can't they put a pull out fridge and a storage drawer under the bed? That's how European manufacturers fit so much in their cabovers. The little wardrobe is a great touch. It does look great.

[@DustinBGardner]

How do you get a truck with 78k rear end? I've only been able to find the 69k rear ends with a 20k front axle

[@littlewingpsc27]

That is an absolutely beautiful truck!! Why drum brakes vs disk? Any specific reason due to its application?

[@mikethetrucknut]

Mostly due to cost but we are starting to do alot more.

[@MS3DALE]

@@mikethetrucknut Cost? They spent that kind of money for a truck and cheapened out on a safety item like disc brakes?!? Cost shouldn't be an issue with a truck like that!

How big can you run in Canada with a tri drive

It depends on what it's doing but In BC we can go 25,500kg on a tridem grouping with winter weights. With a 9axle trailer combination we can gross 72,300kg on special permit.

@@mikethetrucknut what I’m getting at is like the pavement pounder 389 Pete’s that are super low to the ground and serve the only purpose of driving down a flat road instead of having a versatile truck that can preform all forms of work like the tri drive 389 Pete in your video
