What is the attraction with peterbilts

Running the rack! Always wanted to drive a 16v92 . Closest I ended up with was a VTT 903 675. Was fun in a old 77 model single axle cab over. Was so post to be a marine CPL.

 

I've run several turned up B models with C or E turbos and other E parts..

 

on my 3rd truck in 3 yrs of driving...the pete im currently driving is by far the best...

 

Holy thread bump, Batman!

Anyway,

The fascination with Peterbilts is a following. A image, if you will. It's not just the name, but long nose trucks in general. I always loved long noses.

 

This guy loves long noses as well!



As for me, I ave driven a Petercar or two. They are 'just ok", and to me, not enough interior room as say a Volvo or FreightShaker.

those drivers haven't driven a western star 4900ex yet. oh yeah,i pull an end dump with it and some of the places i have to get in and then out of have sold me on the durability of a western star.

 

I had a 96 western star they were tough trucks back then but i'd still take my long nose pete and i pull end dumps too although i still have a thing for western stars shame freightliner owns them now.

 

Pete in the oil field at 200 k miles is quite. International with 90k is load and annoying. Pete is plusher. Ride is nicer on Ruff roads in the international. Pete is easier to grease.

 

I have driven many trucks in 18 years. My favorite by far is a Mack Superdog. Very reliable, and it's a workhorse. Too bad Mack didn't make many of them. I recently saw a fully restored 1985 Superdog sell for $140,000.

 

I'll second that! We have a few Petes around here, and they're OK I guess..all of them ride pretty rough though, and rattle as bad as our Freightliners.

We have two 4900ex's and they are by far a nicer ride in my opinion.
