What is the attraction with peterbilts

I didn't mean anything bad by what I said, I understand cuz they're not for everyone. I must say though, compared to my Columbia, for being 6 years old this thing has held up well. The clutch pedal took some serious getting used too. I also understand why guys have to open their door and lean out to back up haha.

Also, I'm surprised because of how quiet the interior is in this truck, though I love to hear the roar of the engine so I don't mind it much. As long as I can still talk on the phone I'm happy, I prefer a straight shifter, it feels more accurate in my throw for the shifting.

As far as being small and cramped inside, I could see why that's a problem. I'm only 5'7" so I can stand up in the cab and my head barely touches the ceiling lol. I love the sleeper layout of the Pete's over any other sleeper I've been in. That's just me.

 

I've been looking for posts from someone who actually drives a 579. It looks like you've had yours for 6 weeks or so, how's it specced and how do you like it?

 

It depend on alum compound.

Jus let you know there are plastics out there stronger than steel.

 

If so you gotta give it to them also that they knocked that quality and class out of their brand with their new models like that said ball.

 

Me too. But at the end of he day I don't care how they look, I keep them based on how they ####.

 

The way I see it:

Who in this bussiness to make money get FL
Euros get Volvo
Mexicans get whatever still runs
To show off you get a KW
Typical American gets 379exhd
Who gets International with MF should be studied.

As for 379 attracts woman... I guess it depends what woman you want, if those at truckstops, then yeah, 379 way to go. At least you'll have something in common to talk about.


Am I gonna get ripped apart if I say I would go Coronado Glider

 

I bet u anything my t660 ,look better,people have eyes on me when I drive,so peterbilt.don,t think u look good ,only peterbilt that looks good in my eyes are the truck show Pete.

 

I used to own 379 with American class,I didn't,t like it ,now I got t660 with 86 inch with Seattle package,n prefer kenworth for live
