Peterbilt's new model 589; Test drive and walkaround

[@brbertram]

I simply don’t understand the economics of getting rid of a model that they had huge waiting lists for.

[@ktanner11]

Three letter agency called the EPA

[@DutchK75]

[@NoLiesToldTV]

It's still some left go get you one

[@Jamaican_Gaming]

I'm glad for it but it's basically a 567 with a 389 or 379 hood.

[@powerstrokepuller8076]

Yeah, that's why it's good. 389 looks with 567 comfort 👍

[@TheDj2tallchicago]

And what’s the issue with that?

[@dallasclayton3001]

Super gay truck. They need to make up their mind. Either offer a classic truck or don't. That windshield and those doors are bogus

[@jorgetrevino4728]

The display is nothing but junk. I am driving a 2023 389. It freezes up all the time.

[@johnnyhart340]

I still drive a 359 b model and that new truck and new technology I can still run circles around it all day long

[@dirtyhavoc]

I'm glad Peterbilt put matching steps back on their trucks. The single windshield is going to take some getting used to.

[@jacksonpanos4989]

Wish the windshield was split like the 389 also wish it had gages on the dash instead of a screen display but other than those doesn't seem bad

[@harold1098]

$$$$$ When that screen display goes. $$$$$

[@jtkennedy1213]

More electronic safety crap to go bad and is expensive.

[@erichaley6776]

Would be nice to see the 389 hang around for five more years before they put the nail in the coffin! I sure would love to buy one

[@raylanzer2300]

It a 579 with a 389 hood

[@gerardomendoza9688]

No, it's a 389 with a 579 cab. the gay 579 doesn't have set forward axel like the 389 does...

[@jvbtrucker1]

When are they gonna learn to get rid of that piss water tank on the driver side my opinion is emissions is killing the owner op

[@nirlambghumman7398]

When the EPA allows the them to. If you have an issue with aftertreatment bs then I would buy the Cummins X15N(N stands for natural gas) in 2024 when it becomes available because EPA will not require Selective Catalytic Reduction or DPF on that engine so in conclusion no after-treatment bullshit. I plan on ordering a truck with that engine next year

[@MIGUELGUTIERREZ-gi6qh]

I love the 389.

[@startrek91481]

Not an improvement over the 389. A definite downgrade, and that 579 cab is weird. All they needed to do was update the sleeper inside, but I guess it saves them from having to make two different cabs.

[@robertmoulton2656]

I'm not a fan of the switch locations

[@willbyrd3445]

359 was the best model ever

[@harold1098]

I agree! I had one and sure do miss it.

[@shellyweiers121]

I totally agree will a friend of mine had one bought it new in 1985 maroon with big cam 400 Cummings short hood awesome from the word go 😊

[@joeshort703]

Getting rid of the 389 is the only way they will sell this fleet truck with a hood to owner operators.

Kenworth Should Have Taken A Page From Peterbilt On The Air Cleaners.

[@taemeister9302]

God....what a gorgeous truck. I dream of owning these flat nose trucks someday 😅

[@krisbryant7100]

Just doesn't look right. The bunk is off looking. But at the very least glad you guys decided to match the steps on both sides now. It'll sell.. it's the Red Oval 😂

[@_j0rd4n_]

if they didnt change the dash it would be perfect

[@achaosg]

I had to go back an look, but at 4:38 it looks similar to a volvo.

[@jossa942]

With this market ill get a old one

[@rsquall79]

W990 twin

[@FriedShrimpPoBoy]

I like it. Looks good. But miss the full array of analog gauges on the center dash and I don’t like daytime running lights.

[@Tyronewiggums1]

Honestly it grew on me. I know Peterbilt had to redesign because of the wonderful EPA standards, and I love how they kept what they could to make it still be a Peterbilt

[@billupstateny9151]

Not sure EPA was the motivation. Streamlining the manufacturing process seems more likely👌

[@Dutch-redneck]

Lovely!! Wider driver cab. Very nice and well done

[@peppaboy9]

Starting price probably be $500k

[@oe542]

Good lord that’s awful. Just sad…

[@scottycollins1829]

Wouldn't have tow pins loosely nxt to batteries due to bouncing around & causing damage to batteries or electric short!!!!!!!

[@5crumb]

I’m glad Peterbilt replaced the 389 with this model. It’s obviously not well received and it’s making my 389 worth a little more. 😂

[@searlearnold2867]

Digital dash instead of gauges. When that breaks ....

[@jaredbickmore2474]

Having fun waiting for tow truck to take you back to the closest dealership

[@MrWill1985]

I like this truck. Too bad Peterbilt didn't get this the 579 and 567 with the same cab width as the Cascadia. I also like the manual transmission better regardless of the engine on the Peterbilt but I like Detroit the best on the Cascadia

[@jeromep3182]

It’s a nice truck but I’ll still go for a 389 with cumins X15 black flat roof

[@UnionPacificFan]

I love how most people complaining about this are never gonna A buy a truck and B drive one.

[@andrewsulfaro3468]

At least they kept the hood

[@WhiteBoyEst1994]

That’s just a 567 with a 389 hood I just saved you from wasting your time. You’re welcome

[@DieselTrucker2018]

Nothing but a 567 with a different hood and some dressing up with accessories to make you THINK it is a 389 up dated!! I will stick with the W900L.

[@MikeCarew-u2x]

It’s sad what they are doing to the trucking industry they know the guys want that old school truck back that’s why they’re trying to make this new stuff appear more like the old ones. Just give the buyers the option to have the old cabs.

[@JohnRiley-ul5pk]

Drove a K Dub T680 with an MX13. Totally gutless lemon! Too much time in the shop.

[@racketmaker81]

What’s the mpg on it?

[@lamara8497]

The only thing that I do like is the cab room.

[@billupstateny9151]

What are the two colors ??

[@jmbarberal79]

Will some after market company make a split windshield kit , Old school guages and maybe an old woodgrain steering wheel?

[@nobs8124]

If they want to keep the long hood why build a new sleeper which looks like a kenworth, not looking good!!

[@GreggWalken-xd3qv]

Yep has that 990 cab look

[@TruckingwithDwater]

Not one mention bout the 1 piece windshield

[@rags-fv6ko]

Love to see some fiberglass front fenders wonder if parts interchangeable like fenders etc

[@Kuricang31]

And its got all the new problems the old ones never had. Better stick to the old classics and retrofit. No point spending $200k+ for this

[@Aron_7777]

Dream truck❤👍

[@williamkiser5611]

Not going away, 389’s will just be getting repowers, repainted. Peterbilt is going to find out that OO don’t want a 579 with a strait hood.

[@jeremyfogo6172]

Wish my favorites would stay every time I turn off the truck I have too reset them.

[@mikestobbe4274]

My 359 will still be on the road and that thing will be in the junkyard in four years just saying

[@lamara8497]

Also will there be one for car haul?

[@tomtom8306]

Will it be available with Ultraloft sleeper?

[@carloselizondo7671]

Can you get one with a standard transmission?

[@Skyisthelimit4me]

It'll be unreliable just like anything else that uses that cab. Ask anyone that owns a T680, T880, W990, 567 or 579. This uses the new interior electronics but it's still junk. If you are a 389 owner, keep it don't trade up. You'll be sorry. This is basically the Peterbilt equivalent to the KW W990. Same cab. Different roofcap & sleeper. Oh and the hood is shorter too. REMEMBER - JUST BECAUSE THEY BUILD IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO BUY IT. Sales figures is how they receive their information. Don't buy it. Also, the new Paccar engine still doesn't use electronic fuel priming. Stay away, Cummins only.

[@jasonbrock293]

Does that brilliant but not so brilliant dash still flicker and stop working everytime it needs a software update?

[@tempestmkiv]

I hope Jacob is 7 feet tall because he doesn't have much room from his knees to the dash.

[@steverutherford8189]

I like it . If the FMCSA doesn't require speed limiters on all CMV'S I'll buy one . I've had 3 model 379's . Now I want a 589

[@LUNITICWILL]

Peterbilt kept the cleaners while Kenworth didn't. still, it's probably not going to even be 1 month after release before the classic headlights are available as a modification at truck shops. sadly for me, I would want the Engine the to be a Caterpillar, that, and I don't have CDL nor money for a truck

[@allanmccullough8550]

Looking a little less like a Peterbilt and more like every other truck. Windshield is more aerodynamic but not attractive and the same for the headlights.

[@lisabradley7668]

Not a 389 but i will say least they are still makeing a nose truck we are lucky for that

[@shottava9314]

Looks like my sd122😂

[@davidwright4707]

Peterbilt needs to update the hood for the 567, the current hood is based on the older 579, give it a 579 New Gen look, and the 567 will be a cross between the 579 New Gen and the new 589

[@7viewerlogic670]

Looks good, the bigger cab will be nice.

[@jopete681]

I would never buy that piece of shit with that junk motor and that international windshield

[@marcuswhite1403]

Looks like all the rest of them

[@DieselTrucker2018]

NO WINDOW IN THE DOOR which is a BIG THING!! Without it, you can't see S##T!! And I sure the hell am NOT putting hood mirrors on OR a door side mirror!!

[@nathanrice1796]

Only 3 batteries? I thought those used four 6-volt batteries. Maybe those are three 8-volt batteries?

[@GreggWalken-xd3qv]

Nope 12volt starter. Come standard with 3batteries but upgrade to 4 12volt for a nominal fee

[@plaguedoctor2.026]

The hood is okay but putting a 579 cab on a 389 body is a travesty they could have at least put a damn window divider on it

[@artpfluger9438]

Does it come with a 6nz cat? No!! I'm out
