    Supposedly available for January 2024 delivery according to the salesman I deal with. I don’t hate it, but I’m a fan of the wide cab anyway. Be interesting to see how it looks with a 72” or 80” stand up bunk. I’m also curious if they will have the 72” (old 63”) flattop available. I was told the reason it wasn’t an option for the 567 and 579 was because they never engineered a roof cap for it to work with the wide cab. If they didn’t and still don’t offer it then that leaves two options for a flattop bunk.

    I had a Pete pass me today that looked like a 579 unitized cab and sleeper, but, with a long nose and stacks on it. Any idea what it was? A 389 variant?

    I think I’m leaning towards photoshopped. Driver side air can sticking up above the hood and the one on the passenger side is not visible.

    Confirmed last night that this is the truck my salesman saw on the factory tour a couple months ago. You have to think about the angle of the pic. The person taking it isn’t taller than the hood. Sort of like how the driver side pipe looks a lot taller than the passenger side.

    Be interesting to see in person. That's a wide cab right? How much wider than a 389? How does that work with a hood?

    That can is absolutely sitting higher than the hood, take a closer look. Maybe an early mock up on the 2.1 cab. Pipes look as they should.
