    It’s a great looking truck! I only wish Peterbilt would’ve contracted out a truck to a custom shop, to showcase just how awesome these can look. It would’ve silenced the naysayers, I’m sure.
     
    D.Tibbitt Thanks this.

    I don't know if I like it or hate it. I think it's an improvement over the 389, but I'm not a fan of the interior. Looks like a Toyota inside. Or a Prostar. Either way it's ugly inside IMO
     
    D.Tibbitt and Cat sdp Thank this.

    I’m getting to the point where I wouldn’t care about looks as much as leg room and having a 3406 or C-15 cat under the hood. I’ll take a curb sniffing Volvo (if I don’t lose leg room) as long as it has my engine under that sloped hood!
     
    D.Tibbitt and Oxbow Thank this.

    Yep that’s the rattling plastic interior. My 579 has rattled since day one anyway.

    Where I circled there’s about 4 pieces of plastic sandwiched together and the clips don’t keep it tight enough. I cut some pieces of microfiber rag and slid them between the plastic and this truck doesn’t rattle anymore.
