Peterbilt 579 vs 587

well we are not allowed to talk about it cause it ties with emission delete. unless we talk about pre emission engines.

 

A Volvo D13 with I-shift would be better.... maybe white in color.

 

Thats way off the topic.

 

If I had to choose between the two I would go with the 579 every time. We have both at work and I will avoid the 587 if I can. The wind noise from the horrible door seal/door/mirror design will make you go deaf.

 

579 is a decent truck. I drove em before. Sleeper is a nearly same like you see on 389 but front part is more aero and made out of aluminum. Sad that they replaced the 386 in favor of 579.

 

579 is lighter than 587.

 

About a year ago I found the dry weight of the 579 on Jim Palmer's web site. Not sure if it's still on there, it was like 15,500 or in that area, I believe that was with the Paccar motor.
