New Peterbilt 589 Flat Top! Finally!

[@chriswilley88]

I know I’ll get trash talking from the comments but as a new trucker 4 years in never trained on a manual that’s awesome they have automatic. I like the looks of the flat top long hood trucks

[@KHALIL20000]

I learned in a 10 speed manual but never pulled a load in a manual. I'm looking to buy a 389 automatic and I realized alot of older truckers like automatic but they pretend like they hate it

[@codilawrencesr8719]

​@KHALIL20000 I think the 389 automatics are called 389x not 100% sure though

[@joshuajuarez3471]

Definitely

I really appreciate you bringing this to us. I still think you're going to sell a ton of these trucks. This truck is extremely driver friendly, next level! Continued success and again, thank you!

[@daviddhulst1513]

We have a 2019 567 with the paccar powertrain. Almost 800k miles. We have had no injector problems, but, we only gross at 43k lbs too. We are in our 60s and find that the autoshift works best for us old people.

yea usually true but idk. when i have needed a cat dealer. im down no less than 3 weeks😂 jus sayn...

[@joshuajuarez3471]

Speaking of cats, I seen this 2007 Pete 389 ,sleeper. Mid or a stand up. , like a copper color. It has a cat c15 I believe it said. I’m not a driver. -But I love these trucks, so much that I want to drive for money.- but the mileage said like 215k. It was $66k. I couldn’t believe it. 18spd manual. It’s cheaper than a F250! I been wondering how can a reg guy buy one. Do you finance for 5-7 years only? So on a brand new rig, for $185k. It’s financed, your payment will be $6k a month!! How can you make any money if the average income it’s 1200 bucks a week at good?? Maybe $2500 week at best. But you don’t get those cargo every week. I have to get a contract with an equipment company or multiple to transport to even think about purchasing a new rig. It it’s just for toys. Or we all use the cascadia with an automated tranny? Idk. Maybe that’s why I don’t see any Amazon trailers being towed by hood trucks ?!?

[@JensSchraeder]

I really miss the 24.5 inch rims. I realize you can still get them but they seem to be the minority. I just feel they fit the truck better.

[@thewhich15]

I’m a 24.5 guy too. Hard to find in a pinch on the road tho. But I agree. Talls fit

[@RockyMountainPeterbilts]

I agree. LoPro 24.5's would look awesome!

[@tanuki379]

Any aftermarket stick on rivets to put on the cab so it will match the hood and sleeper?😜

[@lucasdobson5957]

The flat top dose make this model look better the other bunk is nice yes but I love the flat tops more

[@rickyjohnsonsr1988]

It looks good!

[@quincy76able]

I want one

[@manuelsilva3365]

The standard 589 doesn't look appealing. The heavy haul 589 looks more appealing but the heavy haul 389 blows it out the water.

Cummins is an option. But this is a Peterbilt Marketing Department truck so they are going to use their own motor obviously. As of 1-1-24 the new injectors and software in the MX-13 are doing really well. So far no issues.

How do you finance 100 or $200,000 truck when the average tow job is like $1500 a week because it comes out to be like 6000 a month is that why you never see hood trucks pulling Amazon trailers?

[@robertallred2368]

$1500 is what a company driver would make. An owner operator would make $6000 / week and more. Also you would put at least $40,000 down.

It’s like starting a plant construction job. I need at least 1.5 times the ammount of money -verified- of what the total tree quote of the job. Just in case problems occur. Which they do. And still have enough money to pay all my employees until I get paid 60-120 days later. Never wrecking

I’m sure it’s a very nice truck to drive but I always thought that if you can’t sit in the driver’s seat and roll the passenger window down (with the crank on the passenger door, mind you), it’s not a hood. May as well be driving a cab over.🤦🏻‍♂️

Automatic transmission is not worth a look

[@instructor.b.h.o.g.a.n.]

what don't u like about it? i'm learning

[@MaisonShiraz77]

@@instructor.b.h.o.g.a.n. A few things really. First of all the driver is not in full control of the vehicle. You don’t have the clutch to get the vehicle going When stuck in mud or snow. They often change too soon or too late which is not a major problem when empty but causes headaches when pulling heavy loads. Finally there is no art in driving automatic transmission. All the fun in truck driving is the engine sound when you change the gears manually

[@instructor.b.h.o.g.a.n.]

@MaisonShiraz77, my plan is for this rig so appreciate ur thoughts. funny u mentioned mud and snow as both scenarios i'm most worried about not as unseasoned driver but new to this size rig. i figure under or no payload want most options to get unstuck as i will go to farms. any links to other training vids u really like always appreciated! best brian

[@MaisonShiraz77]

@@instructor.b.h.o.g.a.n.I can’t really think of any helpful video clips because I only watch the manual transmission. I have got stuck in quarries with auto transmission but lucky enough to have shovel loaders around to pull me out. They are not too bad when loaded because the weight on the differential / s helps you out of trouble but very tricky when empty. If you fully stop on mud or ice, almost 90% of the time you get stuck and have to be pulled which is not always available. differential lock and traction control can help when loaded though but not guaranteed. If you keep the vehicle rolling to avoid sinking, the chances are you lose the control of steering which makes the situation even worse. I never fully stop on muddy / icy surfaces, keep the vehicle moving slowly, hold the steering wheel firmly and just pray 😀
