New truck 1 year out . Peterbilt discontinuing 389.

I get that
But in anyones past experience. Will they hold one or put my name on one while I’m going through the process?

I think of all trucks. This one will be a value holder

 

I'd go ahead and order it. If you change your mind there'll be someone willing to take your spot in line.

 

I’d guess they would want a sizable down payment to order even if they know you……

 

Rumors abound it’s only coming with the Paccar motor!!

 

Really?
I don’t have an issue with the Paccar motor
On my 4 or 5th mx13 and have had very minimal issues but if I ordered a rig like this I think a 565++ Cummins and spec’d for heavy haul would be a smart move

 

Fake news

 

Would think something like that would have the 605 Cummins and an 18 speed as standard. They should talk Cat into building a good engine for it, for old times sake.

 

Hope so

 

My guess is that they’d want a sizable deposit given that you’d be ordering it to put a big bunk on. Wouldn’t be the easiest to sell if you back out.

 

Agree
But big bunks are becoming more and more popular but aside from that
I don’t think it would take too long to get all the specs and numbers together
And a build date is probably pretty far out and until it left the factory it’s just a wheelbase that would be the difference
They could through a standard sleeper on at any point before that
