Would you drive a Peterbilt 579? Check out these units!

[@robertshafer5004]

I bought a579 in August been customizing it a little at a time. I like it

[@mr.carguy3161]

Any quirks about it? Pros and cons? I’m curious cuz I’m getting one…

[@kennysmith6185]

Absolutely ! Been driving a 579 about 5 years now . Mid roof , stacks , 18 manual. Good mix of old & new. Love driving it , don’t miss my 389 at all . The soft clutch , visibility & nice short stroke shifter. Just got a new 2024 , and only mistake is the dash. It’s kinda cool at first but No… just isn’t right. Fixed those sliding cup holders tho , it’s great !

[@lucky13darkhorse53]

Being a former owner operator after 30 years being put out to pasture by DOT, (medically retired), the Red Wine Merlot/Burgundy 579 is all I really liked.

[@DaveDunehew-e1f]

Good video but, it’s sad you don’t have the 389 to show anymore. I think Peterbilt made a huge mistake. It’s like the old saying, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I live 5 minutes away from a Peterbilt dealership in Auburn, Maine. I drive by almost everyday & see the replacement for the 389 sitting on the hill & say it’s the windshield it just doesn’t look right. I mentioned before to your channel that you got to hook up with SH Tube or some fabricator & make a strip to fit the center of the windshield from the inside. As much as you guys do to modify these trucks this should be a cake walk for Tommy & Brian. ❤ your videos & can’t wait for the windshield trim package.👍🇺🇸 Dave D from southern Maine.

[@SEMICasualShow]

We are definitely looking into it 👍 Thanks!

[@davidklauer3422]

I tend to agree I was in the yard in Denton at the first of the year watching the 389s go Now, the 589 is growing on me. The damn cab is the key The old trucks were B27s!

[@murraygraham2385]

The old guys hated to see the 359 go, people said Peterbilt was making a big mistake. Then when they got rid of the 379 people were very upset and now the same as being said about the 389.

[@davidklauer3422]

International went to a big cab in 2002 Western Star did it in what, the late 90s. I hate it, but it’s all about cab room and ergonomics I know because I’ve driven both for my local company for 7 years Btw, we’re a Peterbilt supplier right by the plant

[@JasonMyers-c6z]

This wasn't necessarily Peterbilt's fault. The E.P.A. and government cracked down on the trucking industry. Every year, the auto and truck manufacturers are forced to design "more aerodynamic" and "fuel efficient." I don't like the direction of the trucking industry is heading, either. My uncle bought and spec'd out one of the last 389's. Very sad, indeed.

[@johnjkh4607]

That red low and long one is very cool 😊

[@fordracing5oh]

I need that one definitely

[@seewhaatisee]

Finally! A aero ride!

[@GarciaMotorFreight]

I love my 579. It’s not a show truck by any means, and the direct opposite of chromed out. Rides like a Cadillac and with the Cummins under the hood, I’m pulling down fantastic fuel economy numbers on IFTA. Thanks y’all for finally giving us aero guys some attention

[@wheelmanchronicles]

I drive a 2023 579 with an ultraloft sleeper! Nice ride!

[@WillVanHorn-po8xw]

I had a 2016 579 w/80 in sleeper for 5 years. Really like the truck but PACCAR motor 13 speed. Never again PACCAR. X15 perf only. The other gripe had, the sleeper was only 68" not 80". The fallacy is that Petercar measures the sleeper from the back of seat base, NOT from the joint at the back of the cab. Really do like the 579 290" W/B. Very nice! But I do favor a hood.

[@chrisharkins8708]

I likes this 579 at the beginning of the video.. Beautiful color and great stance...

[@relaxing_white_noises_by_j1980]

The long wheelbase 579 definitely needs Shift Fenders on the back with 8 inch Dynaflex exhaust. Miter cut or turnbacks.

[@mnls7878]

As a european guy i like volvo's from us aero trucks.But this low pet at the beginning of the video is so AWESOME!!!nice height nice wheel base its so simply but so awesome!!!

[@WayneCribb]

I had a 579 Ultraloft and loved it !!! The red one is beautiful !

[@treeminutesorless]

I like long hoods, aero, cab overs, and euro trucks. Can’t drive any of them but I do like looking at them and watching the videos. Maybe one day I’ll get in a dump truck

[@ben6119]

Really good looking trucks. Nicely spec'd. The long low midroof is slick.

[@smn07]

I had one spec'd this past winter, 270wb, 18sp endurant, 565 x15 with tax, fet i was at $254k.

[@ethanthopy1996]

The mid rise is beautiful! Love the color, and with a Dynaflex kit, 9 cab lights and a visor it would be wicked! Could also chop the top with the stand up like the black truck. Personally I like Aeros vs 589s due to easier driving.

[@wiltonfarleysr.4666]

I love the color and the wheelbase ❤❤❤

[@Longnlow.1991]

That metalic red 579 with the car hauler front axle you guys need to do up that one. I dig it but up here north of the border we would be plowing snow in the winter. Would be a killer show truck.

[@christopherthompson5785]

I wish I could afford the down payment. The long wheelbase 579 ultra cab in the grey ford uses on their raptors with color matched grill surround and bumper, color matched half fenders and rear t bar would look awesome. Of course ditching the skirts and color matching the tanks and putting stacks by the doors would be cool too.

[@relaxing_white_noises_by_j1980]

Stacks by the doors on a 579 means you're ok with the driver's side exhaust being fake from the factory. The aftermarket has ways to fix that problem though.

[@christopherthompson5785]

Honestly, “fake” stacks or not hooked up it probably better with the aftertreatment heat. Run dummy pipes and put a four inch amber in the bottom on bright mode and make it look like you’re putting some heat out. Lol. The guys at Fitzgerald have made some systems before on the 389’s work that were redesigns. The work with Chad Berry all the time I’m sure they could come up with something.

[@gregholmes3661]

I like the silver on and the long wheelbase maroon one.

[@cdachyk]

Love the old square nose trucks but I don't understand why more people don't customize these! They look badass lowered and custom. The old school looking trucks were and still are cool but they had their run!

[@gregholmes3661]

What happened to the white cab over that was in the shop

[@SEMICasualShow]

It’s still in the shop. Slowly but surely coming together

[@rickyjohnsonsr1988]

Valley Chrome had a nice 579 a couple of years ago.

[@JoshuaWilliams-ux3jr]

Only if you could put a 12.7 Detroit in it with a 13 speed and 3.36 and make it mid roof and have a quite apu! And hell I only paid 210k for my house and 45k for my used vnl64t630 that's a lot for a truck for sure! Saying that they are nice how much for the green cornando?

[@ralphmiller986]

I absolutely would. That’s a great truck for what I do..

[@Steezy.gunz_]

The one with the stacks is super clean 😫😫😫

[@toddepprecht4517]

I drive a 579 day cab. Love it❤

[@rags-fv6ko]

Didn’t knew you can get them with the rear window

[@tannyamaya5783]

Hey love your videos Question ❓ how much you are selling your Peterbilt long Nose 389 with a Detroit engine also 13 speed and the color dark blue, white, red

[@fordracing5oh]

That red ONE that’s stretched out clean AF

[@stewslogisticsllc9460]

How about a Long low Heavy Haul Midroof 579 with double bunk and 18spd

[@tnine3]

Finally an aero! 🤘🏼👏🏼 one day I’ll by myself one!

[@michaeldean3771]

I need the long boy truck to put a Jeep on and my RV 5TH wheel. The color is perfect and to slam it down when in campground

[@timstafford355]

"Fitzgerald" perterbuilt. So.. we can't do paccar S60 Detroits any longer? Right??,

[@MikeInBendOregon]

I'd rather look at all of the 589's that you have LOL.. Would I drive the UltraLoft ? Hell No. Not if it doesn't have a gear shift. The red truck is pretty and it does have a ton of room in the sleeper though which is nice. It would be cool if the red truck that has the stacks could be changed somehow so the stacks were mounted where they are supposed to be, but at least it does have stacks, and even though they aren't separated, they will both still work.

[@JimmyAlfaro-qo1qb]

Good video! Do those 579 trucks have that wheelbase (250) and (290) from the factory?

[@SEMICasualShow]

Yes they do

[@jasonthompson8668]

I am sold on the long low red aero peterbilt I really like it I'd keep those boxes on the side

[@darkpower6406]

im starting to change my style of truck that i like the most! the aerodynamic trucks are starting to look better and they can be customized! especially the 579! the 567 is a mixture of both the classic style truck and the aerodynamic trucks!

[@nathanjones5653]

Those Yella ones ordered by Bottomley?

[@FH-jq9ti]

Do have one with full side fairings

[@barryfunke8165]

Put some 7inch Miters and shift fenders and few more lights that truck would be perfect. You guys should finish that truck and take it to some shows I bet you would get alot of interest.

[@johnnaron9659]

If I had the funds I'd for sure let y'all have free range on the stretched 579. For real lol. Course I'm not the only one who would though lol. When y'all get to customize it, it'll look sharp just like all the others.

[@richardblakley8139]

put the stacks on the side traditional looking

[@hotshothauler]

Why can't I find nay info online about them Coronados. I've passed them a bunch, called y'all and cannot get any info.

[@SEMICasualShow]

Not sure… call 888-389-1487 someone will definitely help ya with that.

[@hotshothauler]

@@SEMICasualShow well I'll give them a try and see, I know if it's a used Coronado from y'all then it's definitely a solid truck.

[@deepnijjar5]

Longer wheel base gives a nice n comfortable ride not good if delivering around NY

[@tyleradams4633]

I think that stretched 579 would look Awesome with Stainless 1/2 fenders. You guys never put those on your builds even though you guys build some Bad ass trucks I'm just old school I guess... 👊👊👊

I love this truck, but I haven't heard good things about the Paccar engine. Can somebody comment on personal experience with Paccar engine?

[@stuffandjunkandthings364]

I have absolutely no use for one, but if I ever stumble into a bunch of money- expect a phone call lol. Seriously, the red one with the car hauler front axle on it is about the coolest aero truck I have ever seen, IMHO, it's a show stopper. On a completely unrelated note- what's a kidney going for these days?

[@mikerooney7928]

Should have put side exhaust on it, had that on my ‘95 T-6. W/Studio, 4axle

Are you guys going to order any 567?

[@stewslogisticsllc9460]

Okay, 579 Double Framed, 20k lift axle or Tri-Drive with a 20k Steer 18spd trans

[@SeenaVojdani]

A little long but yeah i would.

[@DaveG7920]

Much rather have one of those than a hood truck, to be honest I don't see the point of a hood truck. Not a huge Cummins fan, so would take the Paccar. What's the point in having a long wheelbase?

[@sinful-killa3491]

Love the silver aero

[@relaxing_white_noises_by_j1980]

A long wheelbase 579 with dual stacks behind the cab just like this (except legendary blue) is the spec I'd go for!

[@Unduplicatable]

The only part that sucks about these trucks is driving in the snow. Automatics are risky for driving in the snow, and the low profile means you are going to get stuck if not beat your plastic panels up.

[@johngrabowski2957]

My last truck was an auto, been driving 33 years. Based out of Montana seen PLENTY of snow. Zero problems. Did run it in manual.

[@Unduplicatable]

@@johngrabowski2957 yeah? I deal with the snow every year, too. In the mornings the only trucks I can move are manuals. The autos need to be placed on blocks otherwise I have to chain up. If I spin a manual too hard then yeah I need to chain up, but it's way easier getting around the yard with a manual truck, plus I have space to move to the sleeper. On roads with ice like going through Ritzville, the autos just slide like crazy while the manuals have much more control. It's unfair that the autos cut power so much when sliding, too, especially as you usually need it like going up steep hills and deep snow and such.

[@johngrabowski2957]

@@Unduplicatable in an auto the clutch release, there is an actual clutch down yonder, is in the 1st like 3” of throttle. You can feather it, and actually rock the truck with it if you practice. The traction control is a pain in the ass!!!! Mine was an old systems truck a 16, you could disable it in settings..
