Well. Of course the trucks are nice. But if European truck manufacturers were to start manufacturing such trucks whose designs are 50 years old, then it is called retro. They should, however, buy in engines and gearboxes from Volvo or Scania

​@@SjanzoI don't think our European roads are fully adapted for American trucks. The turning radius is as far as I know the most troublesome part. And so they have neither strong engines nor gearboxes compared to the European ones. But I would have liked to put a Scania V8 diesel in a Peterbilt just to get a really cool truck.

[@Sjanzo]

I’m guessing they usually have two piece is for two reasons. One cost is cheaper having square & flat screens & Secondly but actually the main reason FITTING & replacement out in the field due to the big hood, or bonnet we call it in the U.K. I drive a Scania all day at work & love my Beast it’s King Of The Road. I really like the one piece windshield on the PeterBuilt, can tsee a problem with it freezing up, that’s kind of ridiculous with modern heating technology, but I do like the split screen, split screen is mean & aggressive looking, tough looking & I like that. To be honest split screen looks better from the outside, single screen better for driving.

So my hat's off for the guys and girls driving those and backing those things up with a trailer attached. But again: they really look freakin' cool!

[@elipete211]

The 589 is a good looking truck. I like all the room it now has over the 389. When you’re in the truck for 6 days a week, loading your belongings and groceries and climbing over it all to squeeze through the seats and put it away in the sleeper and having to take it all back out at the end of the week, gets very frustrating. As I get older, I choose comfort more than anything now. As long as they can build a good deep visor to cover enough of the windshield, it’ll be great. In a couple years of these trucks being out on the road, all the naysayers should be “done driving” anyways,or they’ll be bragging about how much better their 589 is than the other guys truck

There’s been some hate on the 589 but I honestly like it. Is it pure 70s? No but it’s about the best you can ask for when it comes to todays production standards.

It’s honestly sad to see the 389 be discontinued. I feel like the age of iconic semis like the 389 and w900 are slowly but surely coming to an end.

I’m a proud Scot and also a truck driver. As far as trucks go in the UK and Europe I would never choose to drive anything but a Scania but I have never been a van of the T-cab or “bull nose” as they are commonly known here. When I look at trucks in the US and Canada I absolutely love how the old Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks look. If I lived there I’d definitely want one although to be fair, the cab over trucks you guys have look great too. Maybe less room inside than we have but but I think I could live with it. The newer style Volvo that I’ve seen over there just don’t look right to me. They may well be great trucks but I much prefer the boxy shape of the classics.

Love the 389s and I’m sad to see them go. That being said I also love the 589s and I’m happy to see them arrive. I absolutely hate the aero trucks. I’ve spent a ton of time in the 579s as a TMC driver and also in the 379s before they sold all of those. I’m thrilled that Pererbilt basically combined the two designs to give drivers all the comfort of the 579 with the style of a 389! The lack of space between the seats of the 379 was kind of annoying and I’m not a wide guy. I prefer a 13 speed manual but have no 18 speed experience. I’m tall so the flat top sleeper is a total no go and I honestly don’t like the look. Needs a mid roof like the TMC trucks because the high roofs look terrible too unless you pull a box. Anyway great video and I’m glad to see a better view of the 589. The air cleaners look a bit weenieish compared to the 389 but I’ll take the comfort and the hood any day over a stupid sloped nose b***h wagon! Should’ve done away with the 579 and kept the 389 instead 😂. I get it though and at least they tried hard to modernize the classic look without totally ruining it or scrapping it!

[@scottberry5266]

Idk, the legend is and will always be the 379.

[@Silas_cv1]

Honestly when im ready to get my own truck ill probably get a 379 hopefully i find a good one in good condition 😂

[@scottberry5266]

@@Silas_cv1 : the 379 is the most sought after truck in history. I’ve had 8 of them in my life. I have a 93 sitting next to the barn that’s going in this spring for a full overhaul. That will probably be my last truck.

[@animapulcra9205]

Six analog guages at the secondary dash and a fully digital main dash? Why not go digital all the way on the secondary dash with unlimited sensors attachable to the secondary panel? Customization becomes way easier!

[@AlbertaBoy745]

Why not go all the way back to all analogue

[@BigBallinCarHaulin]

Gonna be interesting to see how they chop the top on a 589 for us big ballin' folks.

[@JacqueGaston]

beautiful truck ready for 105500 low boy action

[@victorfrias2929]

At 4:51 that’s the Peterbilt 589 that semi casual is building for the Mid America Truck Show I’m curious how there gonna build and install the the air cleaner lights if they make any at all

[@melissadault2069]

Bruce you were 35 minutes away from my house in Canada

[@henryhernandez1520]

I see Peterbilt redesigning out the dash on in next redesign model to add more gauges.

[@jeanettelogistics2286]

I want the 589 over the 389. It looks more quiet and comfortable to operate. Heavy Haul 589 is what I am ordering

[@sowhatnow7224]

Probably been said already but it’s an aluminum cab and hood. Same aluminum cab Peterbilt has used since 2012 on 579s and 567s. Sleeper is the same structure as the 389 with a different interior unique to the 589.

[@thomaskirk9341]

I'm a daycab heavy hauler, and for a sizeable guy (a bit over 6'6" and 216lbs) the 589 is a much better, more comfortable choice.

[@johnrossi6212]

I can’t wait to see them customized.

[@StevieDee73]

It will look like a dressed up turd 😂

[@isaacsims6203]

It depends on the manufacture most of the have thousands of options when your getting the truck built there are standard builds and there are custom options that the big mega carriers dont order because they are ording huondeds or thousands of trucks and they want just the basic truck or standard truck to save asuch money as they can but you have to ask about the build and what you want on your truck theres optioons that you will never see on a megafleet truck out there🙂

[@smokeyC-f7w]

Which one is the new one cuz I can't really tell the difference.

[@dth2brny121]

The 589 has a one-piece curved windshield that is slanted, the cab looks as if all of the panels are bonded on (no visible rivets anywhere, except the hood), and the door handles are also different.

[@tylerbuckley4661]

Nothing beats a 379 with a cat under the hood

[@SteffiReitsch]

I love the split windshield with a visor , it just looks so cool and classic. It's a real shame they're gone. I like them on cars as well, but they went away decades ago. Much prefer the older truck, ja.

[@garyengland2441]

Opinions are like A**Holes everyone has one so here’s mine. If you’re interested in the 589, then why don’t people buy the 567? I much prefer the 379 or 389 myself. Love the videos

[@garyengland2441]

If you look at the 567 cab, it the same but with the odd shape breathers. Puzzling to me.

[@tonytrumble]

I must be really old school. You say legendary 389 Peterbilt, and I keep thinking no, no, no, 389 isn't Legendary brother! 379 Peterbilt is Legendary! Fitzgerald does a lot of glider kits don't they?

[@FrankRobertsJr]

Ive been trucking long enough to go through 359, 379, 389 and now 589. I actually drive a 579 right now.

[@tonytrumble]

@@FrankRobertsJr I will always consider myself a rookie. I began driving OTR in 1988. If you say you know it all in trucking you'd be lieing. It's always changing and evolving. I know a lot. But I always am open to learn more. I've been to every state in the U.S. including Alaska and every province in Canada. I haven't driven tractor trailers in Hawaii but I have been there lol.

[@edfer5382]

My job let me drive their new 589, drive it to Nevada and back to cali, told my boss I'll stick to my old 389 lol

[@StevenFranklin-qg1om]

I want to see you get the 589The match of your collection

[@StevenFranklin-qg1om]

You're coming out next year for peter belt that has the number is W900I would like you to check that 1 out I wonder if that 1's coming out next year after this year

[@jasondrinovsky7962]

I am a die hard Kenworth guy, i love my 900"s, but having said that, a Peterbilt 389 is also a very nice truck. What i will give Peterbilt alot of credit here for is the fact they did atleast keep somewhat of the classic look alive. Unlike Kenworth and their God awful 990.

[@DelwinCowan-mb8so]

From Jamaica here what rear ratio on the green Pete
