Peterbilt 589

Agree. What they did to the W990 is an abomination.

 

You didn’t ride in a correctly spec’d truck then. I can put a cup of coffee on the floor and not have to worry about it on all but the ####tiest of roads in any of mine.

 

International for the next one?

 

Volvo… I don’t know. I talked with the dealer about a w9B last week. I am going to look at the 567. I think it looks better than this thing.

 

To be fair, every one I drove was a million mile truck. Two had the low air leaf suspension, and I thought they sucked. I drove million mile Mack trucks that ride better. But, then again, I stay in Pennsyltucky all the time, so there's nowhere that has good roads around here.

 

Bleh. They all look the same to me. I’ve been offered a 389, even if it is Fleet specced I think I’ll take it just to have the extra torque.

 

You nailed it! Not sure why everyone was so up in arms about it either.

 

I like it. Overall, it is very much what the 379/389 is. While I like the 389 cab better at this point, I'm very happy with the new 589 and kudos to Peterbilt.

 

I think this may be a short hood model, back side of fender and end of hood look to be very close to me.

 

Will they still have a long hood option I wonder?
