2018 Peterbilt 579 565hp 2050 Torque Owner Operator Spec Platinum Interior

[@Christian-bc2es]

Just bought this same truck as my first truck in American Truck Simulator. I may have to get a CDL now.

[@HongTran-ud4ge]

Peterbilt brand world class !! can not even dream of it owned. thank you very much!!

[@691plow]

Kinda chuckle when I see other people talking about owner operator specs, I know when I click your videos they are spot on always first class trucks

[@derrolbrown6152]

Hhhhh&&&&&h&&&hh nn&&by hi hi uh uh&&

[@captainredneck0683]

Are both of those stacks actually hooked up, or are they like the Kenworth where only the right one is operational?

[@lonewolf6368]

I like the way the stacks are. I really hate trucks when you cant see them it makes it feel like your driving a huge car

[@theGovnr1]

Steve this is another great looking truck, was just thinking, Could you imagine a 579 like this done up with the Brown metallic and Brown tanks like that 389? Good Lord that would be beautiful!

[@SteveCarbone]

Holy cow that would be awesome

[@mahinahmed2316]

theGovnr1 Do u mean like a deap brown or a light brown?

[@sammygonzalez7627]

579 comes with 16 gauges in the Navigation system and 8 on Dash Board, 24 total

[@SteveCarbone]

Yep

[@frankswain9483]

I've noticed on a couple of these vids when you show the engine spec. label it says "Fuel rate a advert. H.P. 299". Just wondering what that is about. Always great trucks and always great videos to show them! Thanks for both!

[@lazyace13]

Hey Steve, Love you man, love your videos and love the way you spec out your trucks. You are so well spoken. Only problem is, We can't hear you! Wind noise kills half of your presentation. Maybe switch to a dedicated camCorder with a wind and noise suppressed microphone. I know, you're in one of the windiest places in the country. Maybe do a voice over. Just trying to be supportive, man.....

[@SteveCarbone]

Supposedly have the best wind cancelling headset now but I know its not working. Maybe do voice overs from now on. Time is my biggest enemy and thats another 30 minutes work per video. Thanks for the input, I really do appreciate it.

Hi, can you in some next video do a better tour of storage boxes outside. Also the glove box on the passanger side, and that table would be nice to see.

[@SteveCarbone]

sure will

[@jameshickey9393]

Peterbilt needs to come up with a bigger bunk over 78". I know a lot of drivers like these for coolness factor. I'm friends with a retired Human Resources Employee and have done the factory tour but as a leader in industry they need to step up for owner operators out on the road for long periods. A 90 or 100 should be an option. Same thing for KW who is already doing a better job for comfort.

[@germancaro7041]

[@michaelweaver9264]

beautifully spec'd truck. you've sold me on the 579. don't need that much power for what I do , probably 470-480 range and a 13 spd auto. Running 22.5s what ratio would you recommend, pulling dry vans. greatly appreciate all the info in your videos.

[@stevieraymac774]

WOW!! Cool looking truck, fuel milage and class.

D they do away with the air noise? The other models had a lot of air passing through the cab?

[@theotist65]

what transmission come with the 579's ?? would a 10spd be an option or standard

[@SteveCarbone]

Nothing is standard, you can get basically any transmission you want auto or manual.

[@turdferguson2839]

As a non trucker, can u tell me the difference between the 579 and 389 models? I know the 389 is more square and aggressive and the 579 is more rounded and aerodynamic, are there any other differences?

[@SteveCarbone]

Drivetrain is exact same but everything else completely different

[@robertomaldonado1753]

this truck is perfect for flatbed.what would be the down pament for this truck?

[@SteveCarbone]

5-30k depending on credit and history

[@gabrielgarcia5629]

Steve brother thanks a bunch Suggestion be a good idea if also in your demos u sit on driver seat and record the view outwards towards front. When buying new truck that's a must do b4 purchase.😉

[@daviddebergh254]

When you want your truck nicer then your house haha. Great video man.

[@SteveCarbone]

this did cost more than my house! lol

[@outperformancelife3145]

how much does this truck cost? I am just getting started in the trucking career but I can tell I love it so like in 6 months to a year I would be looking for my own truck and be a owner Operator. my first guess would be at least 153,500 some. thanks

[@SteveCarbone]

Closer to 162

[@Ian-xw1ge]

Hey steve... I am leasing a 579 Peterbilt from the company i work for. My question is that on my tractor i don't have all the bells and whistles that you have on your tractors. Over time can come to your shop to make my 579 look like some of yours?

[@SteveCarbone]

Sure can, my guys would be happy to fix you up!

[@doubleg01v2]

Hey Steve! Another wonderful looking rig! I'd been contemplating a 579 in my future instead, but was wondering what price would be like for one of your custom-spec'ed 579s as opposed to a 389 (I know obviously it will vary depending on options) but is there any great price disparity between a custom 389 or 579? Cheers and thanks in advance for the info!

[@kappajohns5416]

389 is usually much more 'heavier duty'. You can get bigger engines as well on the 389. It all depends on what freight you carrying. If your doing excavators etc, 389. If you are doing produce etc, i'd go 579.

[@SteveCarbone]

Hey Gregory, if a 579 and a 389 are optioned the exact same, the pricing is very close to the same.

[@jimplantenberg8597]

I expect the weight would be different. The 579 has the Metton resin hood an other materials that I suspect would make the weight significantly lighter.

[@SteveCarbone]

That would seem so but the square footage of a 579 hood is so much bigger, the cab is bigger and the sleeper is bigger.

[@terrancewoods4892]

Peterbilt Steve basically it's down too the aero?

[@dvontaesmith8935]

Why do truck and car companies come out with 2018 models when it is still 2017. I never understood that... also love every video. One day I'll have a nice rig of my own

[@SteveCarbone]

I dont know either but guessing its so they can get the price increase sooner, is what it is....

[@terrancewoods4892]

Peterbilt Steve well Put bro I see your honesty.

[@SLASHERx988]

Matthew Maxwell all marketing to get the hype up

[@TruckerfromNJ]

[@demetriusbennett4402]

Matthew Maxwell because if the car is made seven months into the year that is why

[@rodneystewart8958]

Can you build a 579 like this same powertrain sleeper and keep it under 18,000 lbs I pull gas tanker and that's the max weight maybe super singles

[@SteveCarbone]

Yes, I could make that happen with some adjustments

[@akatim78]

I buy 579 glider with detroit 60 12.7, 13 speed, disc brakes and APU. My grosse is 20500 lb.

[@samo8204]

What's the difference is M.P.G. of the 579 Vs. 389 if all other things are equal?

[@SteveCarbone]

Almost identical but a 389 vs 579 with full aero package and electronic limiters is 1-2 mpg better

[@UnionPacificFan]

Love the video title and the truck!

[@Stacie45]

Beautiful machine, thanks for the video. I've known a few people who have been over-the-road truckers, I spent some time as a cover driver for UPS back in the day and have considered driving as an alternative career to my current gig. I basically know nothing about the business, my question is what kind of annual income can an owner/driver of a rig like this expect to make if you have things arranged so you can use it efficiently full-time as a business tool? Thanks!

[@SteveCarbone]

High end owner operators, and there are plenty of them, make more than most physicians.

[@megaartd]

you dont want to get into a truck now unless you pay cash electronic logs will kill you come december last thing you want is payments

[@Stacie45]

Thanks for the feedback! By best friend's Dad drove for Willis Shaw when we were kids, we always talked about becoming drivers and owning our own ride. Beyond driving locally for UPS for a couple years I never moved on it as a career, but have always kept it in mind.

[@jlinhoff7101]

Does the transmission speed and engine HP matter when considering your ratio? Or is tire size the biggest factor?

[@SteveCarbone]

The biggest factor for most is a balance between fuel economy and pulling power. The goal usually is to be at a certain RPM at a certain MPH, usually the speed you would be cruising at most often.

Do more power and torque equals less fuel efficiency?

[@SteveCarbone]

All depends on the driver. More gives you the opportunity to have less fuel efficiency but can also make it better with a top notch driver.

[@hudsondonnell444]

Chris Moody not necessarily, if a truck is speced out the way I want it I can get high 9s with light loads, and still get into the 8s with heavy ones.

@@hudsondonnell444 yeah and how is that

[@myofbmyofb5943]

Think of it this way if you are 80k pounds and you're driving fast 75 mph your smaller hp motor is under more stress for longer periods than a bigger hp motor if you drive 60 mph and you spec your truck that it runs 1500 1400 rpm your motor is less stressed and gives better mpg

[@christopherbrooker1887]

Why so much, that's more than some of your 389's ? I still think the 605 is the way to go, most buyers put extended warranties on the engines, in that case you would never get to turn it up.

Thats just what they cost now. You can turn one up after the warranty expires. If $4k for 40hp interests you go get it!
