    The exterior kinda looks like a mix between a 579 and a 387...but other than that funky odd angled cubby and HVAC control, it's a drastic improvement over the regular 579.

    Looks the same to me but with more head room, which Im all for. I like having the bunk for added storage without needing to build a shelf, or if they just came with wrap around storage

    There is an additional video that pops up after that one ends, and it shows the single bunk version with the wrap around storage option. Sounds like Pete might be listening to what issues drivers are having with their product.

    Not sure if I saw a different video but the cubby they have in the back wall isnt a full wrap around. Living in a truck, you'd think they'd maximize storage as much as possible... what a waste.

    I actually like the existing sleeper, but I know many would like more storage so hopefully these fit the bill. Still wish they (Peterbilt) would have shown some of the innovation exhibited by Volvo, but heck it beats teaming in the existing 579...

    So far, nothing catches my eye like the latest freightliner cascadias. Those look so mean. The grill and headlights are so nice.

    I’m with WinnyF1 on our interior. I like it. More storage would be nice I guess, but that only justifies holding onto crap I dont need in the truck. I would hate having a bunk because the headroom is a must for me.

    The changes look nice!

    That 579 looks nice. They are by far my most favorite aero truck. Super comfy inside.

    Split folding bunk means split folding mattress, which is crap. That seam down the middle really sucks. I'll be tossing that and putting in a real mattress for the trainee. Since there's more headroom, wouldn't need to fold it ever. Ladder probably will never get used either, unless he's a real fatty.

    Microwave shelf looks like it only holds one size microwave. Theirs. We'll see.

    ALL the cubbys need doors or anything in them just flies out. Wish they'd finally quit being cheap and put some on. And if a trainee puts a open coke can in that upper cubby over my head, I'm going to pour it in his bed before it ends up in mine.

    Otherwise, nice truck. Almost a 587.
