What happened to videos dude.

Beeps on 579 are driving me crazy, truck just beeps so much for nothing, sometimes just beeps for nothing, no any signs on dash and it’s still beeping

All new trucks are real garbage, the newer the truck is the bigger garbage is, drove 2025 cascadia and hopefully never again, I’ll stick to what works and makes money and it’s Columbia glider 12.7L 13 speed manual.

Sounds like there putting in alot of Chinese made parts.

Trucks have always had collision mitigation systems, they used to be called good drivers…

Remember, the people who design these things never work with a truck before.. But , don't you love technology? Enjoy it.

Very good and helpful review,Rainman!I just test drove 2022 579 with MX13 and auto tranny and the fist thing I didn't like was that transmission. I've been driving manual for 28 years and this thing has a mind on it's own!😁Bobtail going uphill I just stepped on it and nothing happened and let's say I would wanted to pass I guess have to put in manual mode,other than that it won't go when I needed to.Also the oil pressure is weird, same reading(around 30psi) at idle and at 1500 rpm,but that's probably normal for this new engine.Still I find it strange. 🙂

Damn. I was looking at these aero cab trucks. But …. Never mind….! Thanks. And damn bro sorry to hear your new truck is a piece of I like it. But I had few new truck f150 and they all had granny going into neutral and staying there, leaking windows, sensors going out all within 1k miles. For the money we are spending on these very we need to work. They are all pieces of shit. It’s sad. I ended up sticking to my 7.3 diesel ford that’s needs works. Has every fluid leaking. But I was wondering if the new semi truck are just as shitty. The design are great. But I guess it all depends on the ppl assembling it. They had bad days it not. It’s just pretty disappointing we go way out in a limb to buy these trucks. And they don’t work

Great informative video. Very knowledgeable in-depth review. 👍

Scared of paccar engines!

That dash is a warranty issue

Thinking about one idk?

This is my dream truck. Cummins squarebody with a manual transmission. I want to do this with my 87 k5 and 90 suburban

For the squeaky stacks, get a 589 or do what the 589 does: use flex pipe to connect the exhaust stacks. It might be "wore in" but I'd guarantee your ride will be much quieter if you do this - they still make noise.

I thought I watched this review before, hence my previous older comment. But I've had these things in my mind since driving the truck for long enough now. You're so right on so many of these problems. Yet, if you go to the Kenworths and Freightliners, the issues aren't always any different.

😂 I've had the same issues. I don't understand why the truck resets information. This has to be the biggest issue - something so simple that they couldn't have possibly messed it up... and still managed to mess it up.... Also, no, you can't delete markers if you accidentally create them. You can only reset all your trips. Hold down the Marker button and it resets to 0 on A. The scroll wheel is terrible - I'm always hitting it. But one thing that drives me insane: if you accidentally turn on cruise control when turning the wheel, you might be STUCK at a certain speed. You are stuck going say 5mph and can't accelerate faster, so you're likely to get into a massive collision if someone hits you since your only option is to tap the brake or disable cruise before you can accelerate again. Even the RainX blades still become worthless at the tips and the only way to keep the wiper touching throughout is to keep your windshield extra clean and covered with RainX. I agree: there are too many issues with the new truck designs. It's literally as though they don't even test the trucks they drive.

More electronics more to go wrong

Nice video. Greenstone mine. She’s up and running now.

There's no such thing as a Peterbilt 579 "NextGen". That term is a registered trademark for the Kenworth T680 - and since Paccar owns both of those brands of truck's, there wouldn't be a 'shared model name' - they're independent - and don't duplicate term's between the two. Check website/brochure's, Peterbilt simply refers to the truck as 'model 579'. period', there's no "NextGen" mentioned

This was way more easier to understand than some of the videos out there

thank you very much, i got all details i need to know

I. Feel like every truck that was built during the Corona, It's not worth to buy. It have so much issues because they were built In a hurry, Due to the shortage of trucks in the twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two

Man this model is getting a very bad reputation for constantly breaking down

Put some tinting film over the dash??

Sad, your videos are way cooler than other truckers who have way more subs...not sure why or how that works but I see you maybe gave up on making videos. I guess what i'm saying is...I cant blame you. Hope all is well.

Man go Volvo 860 or Freightliner Cascadia. There is no truck in USA except Volvo and Freightliner

Our two new Peterbilts have sensor issues all the time, and the newest has constant fuse problems. Our pre-emissions Peterbilt had an issue too: we had to change the batteries.

The truck industry is so evil and greedy. Even the manufacturers cut corners to save a buck. They charge hundreds of thousands of dollars for these cheap plastic throwaway trucks that they intentionally make poorly so that you are on the hook for repairs. They will never get these trucks certified clean to run anymore than 100,000 miles before major repairs need to be done. I had a brand new 2014 cascadia with 150,000 miles. All kinds of sensor issues and had to get towed numerous times. Why anyone stays in this industry is truly beyond me. I feel bad for those who feel like they’re stuck because it’s all they know to do. There is just no money to be made anymore. And now, almost 10 years after I left the industry, it seems the trucks have gotten worse. It’s criminal at best. Evil is what I think.

I got a kenworth t680 next gen and the dash yes thats one lag room for me im 6ft I'd like the seat to go back a foot and down more 6inch

I really hope the engineering dept for Paccar is listening to this gentleman, he has genuine concerns about this new trucks, things that should not be happening, especially when you spend so much money on these new trucks. Better off buying those that are 2010 or older, they stay on the road, and not cost you loss of revenue.

I feel your pain, we in the heavy haul world can't afford to have most of the new versions, because they spend more time being down or in the shop, and when you have a 100K load on the deck, you need a tractor that you know can get the job done. These engineers are now spending more time trying to make the trucks like you're driving an automobile, and not a professional machine built to do heavy duty work. Sensors constantly going out, parts not readily available, having to call customer and say you're going to be late, or having to hire another truck to take your load and deliver. And when it comes the the controls in the steering wheel, both KW & PETERBILT, made a major mistake on putting those controls in the steering wheels, those buttons are in the way when you're turning the wheel, you accidentally turn on the cruise control, resetting the dash settings, just shows, that engineers never talked to professional drivers with excess of 15/20 years experience on how the interior of the cab should be set up. Pete use to be the top of the line, now I consider some of their models as the same as a freight shaker or Volvo. Shame on Paccar going away from what has been working for them for so many years. Mayve someone should tell them, IF ITS NOT BROKE DON'T FIX IT.

Still better than an MRE, huh?🤣

This is why I never buy American vehicles.Sorry not sorry but americans are lazy and do evrything half ass. Not exactly the type of people I want building a vehicle I put my life in care of. I wish Toyota would build a semi truck. It would be the most reliable truck on the road by far. Nothing would even come close.They would make a killing. Im currently looking to lease and I was thinking of getting a peterbuilt because I heard the drive was great and my back cant take much more freightshakers. Now idk. If I dont take a pete im stuck with a freightliner or an International. Not much better choices. I wish they had volvos.....ugh.

My 24 has all the same stuff. Junk

579 is junk

I have a 2020 579 and you're correct that these trucks a very tempermental

where is the notorious American quality?

My 23 t680 dash freezes up as well and. The auto trans. Has the same issue not being able to put in gear.. plastic pos.

Love the video

I agree with everything you have said to this point I have a 579 and I'm telling you this truck has given me a nervous breakdown I've already put 50,000 into it that's a third of what the truck cost I don't know what Peterbilt is thinking of but it's for sure they're not thinking hopefully they'll see all of these complaints and start putting out a varieties of recalls I want to thank you for your honesty

That what happens when you have electronic dash like why?! My Pete 2016 my heat ac stops working and I gotta do reset I love 579 ride comfort turning but im in mechanic way too often. Cummings is a charm tho so is manual transmission. Peterbilt really pissed off so many costumers as much as I hate freightliner ride seats they don't break down as much. If I go owner op I prob get mack or Volvo prob Volvo. I cant stand that noise I be so pissed if I paid big money for that truck.

I hope Pete watches it u should send them this I kinda wanna send them this

Sounds like my 2017 is better truck less tech. I'll deff stay company driver I'm in the shop for this or that often

Wow no side blinker what if u bobtail what a shame with Pete I enjoy driving comfort of 579 but it does brake down way more then uncomfortable freightliner lol

Company driver i love this truck roomy comfy nice ride quite cabin. I do have issues all the time maintenance wise only 300k on truck nothing major bunch little stuff but just constant in out shoppe engine light been on past year drives nice tho lol 13 speed Cummings local 300k it's 2017. Hauling steel 7mpg

Hows the fuel mileage

Got a 2023 myself. Bought it 4 months ago. Here are my issues: Same dash issues: forgets the favs and clock has gone completely nuts. I cross over 3 time zones and my clock is way off, like 5 hours off I dont get it. I also found that at the manufacturing plant they either forgot to torque some screws or just lightly hand screw some of them because I already had to tighten the hinge screws that help hold the driver door open. I also had to replace (cuz they literally fell off) and tighten screws for the latches in the side steps. The steps literally wobble as I step down because the whole latch was barely hanging on. The side doors that lead to storage need to literally be slammed shut to actually shut them otherwise they would open while driving. When at low rpms while climbing the plastic under the steering wheel rattles and shakes. Coolant hoses were not tightened and I had to chase 3 leaks and tighten the clamps. What I have not done is buy the extended package with all the extra sensors. Other than that I don't have any other issues like what you have. Peace.

all that squeeking would get on my nerves lol

Its funny that I find this video at 11:22 pm the day before Thanksgiving 2023 lolol
