2025 Peterbilt 589 Walk Around and detailed inspection.

[@Commysumngtus]

I have been a Pete guy since I was a kid going on my dad's 1971 cabover 352 (318 Detroit) in the summer loved every minute. I've owned myself a 359. 377. 379, 389 are great too. This new 589 has the classic looks it's a good-looking truck, it is 2023. 50 years have gone by you could still have spring suspension; air powered wipers, air assist steering now that's classic if you like. I will take a new quiet, riding on air comfort.

[@SteveCarbone]

5 star review sir *****

[@juskiiiiiii]

good to see they are still putting sticks in these ❤️ not all hope is lost

[@nasheemwhye5197]

you can get a stick in any truck even the new cascadias have manuals though they're harder to come by but I've seen personally 10 and 18 speed manual cascadias 2020 body style .The only new tractor I've haven't seen manual yet is the Volvos VLN but I'm sure they have them to just rare to see one.

[@travisstoneking4049]

Still wish there was a option on the digital dash sometimes you just want normal gauges lol.

[@ДядяВоваКлассикСША]

After seeing this, we’re gonna have to switch to the dark side and get a W9

[@haloreaper1000]

Rumor is going around the w9 won't be around much longer either. Blame the epa for that

[@scottycollins1829]

Long as it's PACCAR PRIDE LARGECARS K-DUBBS & PETES it's ok!!!!!!

W990

[@haloreaper1000]

@@kylewest7449 w900L the 990 is a rebranded 680

[@Yesitsqk]

I can’t bring myself to getting this thrown together truck …it’s just not right …I’d go the w9 route too

[@R-UBBERD-UCK]

Surprisingly, the only thing I disapprove of is the dash. Im gonna miss climbing into the truck and seeing nothing but gauges.

[@chrisreese6456]

I agree I would take mechanical gauges over digital gauges any day

[@Awalker5000]

I totally agree with you on that, digital gauges make me nervous.

[@BrandonEht]

The air cleaners kinda look goofy. Surprisingly I like the digital dash

[@Unduplicatable]

It grows on you because it’s so much easier to keep clean and scratch-free.

[@aaronkelley8909]

I’m not a trucker but I love watching these trucks on KZbin!

[@scottycollins1829]

Painted frames are DEFINITELY a MUST!!!!!

[@wannabeangler]

That's a nice rig! Never owned a Pete because of size inside and between the seats. This truck is the exception. Old school flair with new school additions which is a great combination.

[@SteveCarbone]

Very cool!

[@kevinbrown5942]

Totally agree,best of both worlds

[@JTLittlejohn]

I think with some touches here and there it will be a decent unit. Like you noted about the heat shields not dropping down to cover the elbow neck-down, the flex pipe in the stack, etc. I can’t really see how a drop visor is going to work with that mirror placement, but that got worked around on the 389 as well. Time will tell.

[@Dinoxt12]

I'm noticing what is So Unique, now that makes it a 359, 379 & 389 is the...Split-Windshield. That's gone forever. So glad I have my 2015 PETE 389 and try to keep her going as long as I can with extra good maintenance & service at the shop when needed...Rest in Peace Split-Windshield, they done us dirty for-sure...Come-On !

[@Mathiowetz]

Gotta make that money on the big one piece windshields!

Put a strip of black duct tape down the inside center of the windshield . Problem Solved !! LOL

Just wow, and wonderful. Thank you so much for this video. This video allowed me to show my wife, why I easly love this truck brand.

[@bluestarmafia8622]

I actually like it. By looking at the comments you can’t please everybody but I’ll give it thumbs up 👍🏾

[@mikealberts1743]

Gorgeous truck. I think Peterbilt did a great job on the 589. But I can't wait to see what Phoenix Designs, 12 Gauge and the rest of the chrome shops do now.

[@SteveCarbone]

Coming soon!

[@karolizbicki8413]

Good educational video Steve. I own and drive a 2023 567 with 80" sleeper and premium package and interior,so the truck featured in this video is virtually identical to mine from windshield back. Switching from narrow cab KW to this wide cabin and big stand up sleeper was a great change. It's spacious, practical, quiet... really driver friendly environment. It gives you a great ride on front air ride,which I'm sure will be at least the same with new long hood 589,so you kind of get best of both worlds. Navigation screen that you mentioned,I actually love and as you know you can get up to 12 digital gauges instead of only 6 analog and again... driver friendly,even for electronic equipment illiterate like me. I know what you are saying about it being expensive to replace in case of failure but should we be thinking like that when we spec these things? I don't think so. I'm not disappointed in mine,at least not yet. I know you will get a lot of negative comments about this truck,but people who never drove one of those 567 ,579 or new 589 don't have any idea what they are talking about. Either way starting January 1 of next year that's the new and only choice. It is what it is. Or is it? They can always get a new fancy International or Western Star. Personally I would take new 589 before those any day.

[@SteveCarbone]

I appreciate you taking the time to give the real world perspective. Passion usually drives the negative comments and change isn't usually welcomed. Adapt or get out of the way is how its always been.

[@dirtydiesels3110]

I currently drive a 2023 1:11 Pete 567 62 in mid roof. I drove a older w900 before. I like the truck. Company that I work for has been buying 567 set forward axle trucks

[@scottycollins1829]

[@garrylogan5995]

The new 589 will NEVER outlook a classic 389 or 379. Oh, too that big ugly windshield will be a big expensive cost when it cracks. Trucks are going just like the uglier styled cars anymore, pretty paint jobs, overpriced junk. Just my 2 cents...

[@scottowens8474]

Buddy I've been doing this for over 40 yrs. I KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. YOU ARE DRIVING CALIFORNIA AND EPA DRIVEN JUNK THAT NEVER WOULD'VE BEEN BUILT BY AN ACTUAL ENGINEER IF USING REAL WORLD COMMON SENSE. THESE NEW TRUCKS ARE POLITICALLY DRIVEN LIE OF CLIMATE CHANGE GARBAGE. NUFF SAID. I WILL NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER OWN OR DRIVE ANYTHING NEWER THAN A 2007. THAT INCLUDES GLIDER KITS WITH THEIR FUCKED OVER BLOCKS THAT BLOW UP BEFORE 400K. YALL CAN HAVE THAT. ILL STICK WITH THE TRIED TRUE AND RELIABLE PRE EMMISSION TRUCKS THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[@tylerbrown3732]

Awesome looking truck! The self adjusting clutch is due to the hydraulic clutch, because there is no longer linkage and no adjustment for freeplay or clutch brake.

[@rickleighton7483]

That clutch system sucks , I miss the original adjustable rod linkage and and the tried and true Eaton EZ pedal clutch

[@7viewerlogic670]

Good info, I was wondering about that.

[@elipete211]

With the wider cab, it’ll be able to see behind a conestoga trailer. Very good looking truck, I look forward to driving one someday

The last truck I drove before retirement was a 379X. It was a head turner back in the day. Seems like yesterday.

[@animal494]

I was the 590th thumbs up… doh! Looks great! Not all change is bad. Honestly, most drivers today couldn’t fit in a classic Peterbilt cab from the 80s.

[@braddemeule1563]

It will take some getting use to, But I like what I see. Thanks for the look Steve.🤘

[@cedricharrison304]

KW is still keeping the classic w900 peterbilt drop the ball, the 389 was the best looking truck on the road.

[@yozeruga]

Peterbilt needs to add practicality in the sleepers, have an integrated table under the mattress(removable cushion bed) flush fridge with solid handle lock, and secured microwave, other side have a few big open storage shelves and few drawers. That’s it

[@arthanza112]

Oh Shit!!! He got one!!!! Waiting on your "Finishing Touches!!!"😍😍😍😍

Great Looking Hot Rod. And probably pretty expensive. 😊😂

[@717xcrunner]

I literally said the same thing when I saw this video posted 😂

[@theGovnr1]

I forgot to add, I love it! The Roominess and comfort of the 567 with the looks of the 389. I can't wait to order one with a heavy wrecker body.

[@user-qt8zt6zg6w]

Only looks it shares with a 389 is the hood. The rest is trash poopy

[@miketaylor6053]

It's going to be a fantastic truck. Way more room and visibility and still a hood. Best video on the 589 I've seen yet.

[@JensSchraeder]

You know. I’ll always love the 389. The 589 like any new design will take time to adjust to but I know it will still be the choice for the owner operator. IMHO the 589 will be a much more comfortable truck for the driver. I just miss the 24.5 low pro wheels and tires.

[@SteveCarbone]

I agree 100%

[@I_love_puppies903]

Thanks for the walk around the best yet 😊

[@SteveCarbone]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@theoregontruckerT880]

I know it’s better than a 389 in every way but one thing I can’t overlook is that weird angle from the flat hood to the swept back round windshield. It looks better with the 567 because the hood slopes with the windshield

[@DMTruckSpotting]

I think it’d also look better with a taller hood to be in proportion with that huge windshield, like the W990 (which is built on the same platform). Sadly this just can’t have the low hotrod look that any of the previous longhoods had due to the windshield.

[@gregorydayton5428]

Steve glad I got a new 389 last year!

[@kevinbrown5942]

Love the direction peterbilt is heading in,very nice rig

[@evanreece9205]

The clutch not coming out from the floor anymore not a bad thing lol don’t really use the clutch anyway just to start and stop. The truck still looks nice over all and nice to see it’s an 18 speed and not an auto.

[@gearjammer7902]

can't wait to see what the guys at SH Tube are gonna come up with for these

[@gadzks]

Steve, I am not a driver, but always wanted to and have enjoyed your Peterbilt content for years and that of others. Change is inevitable and I think they did a very respectible job in the redesign. Both cab and sleeper combine to make a much more comfortable living space, seems to me. Keep up the pressure, Steve! They really need to contract you for design consultant and get more of the detail stuff right earlier in the process. Sure would help reduce the chatter and earn them more early positive market response... But what do I know...😁

[@SteveCarbone]

I really appreciate the kind words, yes consulting the guys who drive or sell them would be instrumental.

[@bambam6053]

As always Steve does by far the most informative videos but I just can’t get over how hideous it is I’ll stick with W9’s but great video sir

[@SteveCarbone]

Appreciate the honest input, hurry before they are gone :)

[@dezznuttz254]

They did what they had to do , this is a nice rig.

[@Ward413]

I just wish they had updated that interior as that interior goes back over a decade. All they’ve updated is the steering wheel and the screen in replace of analog gauges. It would have been cool to design a modern interior inspired by the classic 389 interior that way it can at least share a lineage and similar layout. So they could still use these 579 cabs but just improve the dash layout and stuff; it’s just so basic.

[@SteveCarbone]

Thats not true, many many updates over the years. Do you remember what a 2013 579looked like inside?

[@Ward413]

@@SteveCarboneYeah the 2013 had the same exact dashboard and layout. They’ve definitely made it more upscale over the years with wood grain pieces, updated steering wheel and trim, the screen that replaced the gauges, etc. but the entire dashboard is the same exact piece from a decade ago. It would just be cool to see a redesign.

[@mtvjackass74]

Steve!!!!!!! about time!!!!!

[@SteveCarbone]

I know buddy, I know...

[@Thetruthalwayshurts]

Seem like they took all of the trucks they offer and put it into one. Would make factory life easier and production faster. What does your shop think about the flex pipe, I would think a flex pipe works better horizontal then vertical.

I wonder if a 5th battery could be put in that step box. Can never have too many batteries if you don’t roll with an APU. If the Texas bumper is on there you’d have to go with the square lights imo.

Agreed. Kenworth dropped the ball with the W990, it looks terrible in my opinion. It's nothing like the W900. This 589 while not perfect, looks a whole lot better and actually still mostly resembles the 389 atleast. I prefer the W900 over the 389, but definitely would much rather this 589 over the W990.

It just dawned on me. They basically just took a "cowboy edition" 579, slapped on a slightly bigger 389 hood with a Texas bumper, threw on some air cleaners, tweaked the mirrors, and then called it a day. I don't hate it, I actually love the resto-mod feel to it, but when you break it down like that it feels a little...uninspired.

@SteveCarbone Clean come back, but no automatic transmission for me, or a 589. Peterbilt has lost thier mind putting that cab behind a long nose hood. Save money Peterbilt, and I'll save mine as well. No disrespect to you Steve, but everyone that is talking this truck up, and selling it to the O/O's knows in the back their mind that this is not an O/O truck, it's just a way to save money. Hate the huge windshield, electronic dash, the ugly a$$ dash, the doors, and that wide a$$ cab, and especially those small air cleaners, that come off a Lone Star International. 379 for life ! One thing that stays the same, everything changes, but in this case not for best in my opinion !

[@thunderrode1744]

I'd still like to see a electric blue with reflective red decals and this cab and all looks to be great however does the def have a delete kit thats the only reason y so many like old school trucks also u r right about the heat shield it should have hidden the exhaust elbow with a lil curve on the bk en to match the cab line too however I'm thinking that when adding stainless with lights that will take up to the cab line if the exhaust heat shield is extended 2 inches or so would've been nice also I personally think s&h tube would like a go at this truck or one like it they r a custom stainless shop and do outstanding wrk and they have utube channel too also the front hub/rotor centers should be painted red to match frame too also does it have automatic balancers too 4 the tires and look at the stance of this truck it sits well but how does it preform is it still the same meat and taters as the old schools or is it turned dwn like most factory trucks if it's turn dwn that 650 is 550 is what most think any who plz plz paint one or oreder a electric blue maybe with a red frame but electric blue truck would be nice however that's my opinion tho also sending up prayers 4 healing and unspoken and 4 everyone and bless great healthy peaceful safe journeys travels and happy hauling and happy day everyday in name of the Creator God and Yeshua/ Jesus and the Holy Ghost Amen much honor and respect keep walking tall always and petal to the metal hammer dwn and keep'em on the pavement/ roads and keep'em rollin also catch u on the flippy flops and cool truck 🚌🌅🌌⛺🌄🏞🏖 👍👍💪🙂👍👍

It would of been nice if when they had the 589 come out, they redid the interior, always like how the t680's passenger side table/cabinet was... could actually sit down on like a 34 have a hard back chair and can do everything you needed to, otherwise in a 389/579 if you want a table you gotta figure something out.....

It ain’t terrible, folks. A fair modern day large car. We should all just be thankful that big hoods and manual transmissions are still around…another couple of decades, we not have anything nearly as nice as what is shown here.
