We own a 567 with the Paccar power train system. We love the auto shift. We are old and have bad knees and hips. This auto shift makes driving more enjoyable especially around town.
@@geargrinder4784 You got a massive selection of old manual trucks to pick from. I would get a 600hp Signature ISX with a 18 speed and 3.55 gears. You can float past most of the gears and play around up mountains.
Yea, the best powertrain for old people would be Paccar's powertrain. Without a doubt. Because it'll be getting towed into a dealer lot for a week at a time, every month or two. It'll afford you plenty of downtime to rest up. Ask me how I know
@@markm0000 ...consider yourself very lucky. If, I caught you floating gears in a truck I owned, it's an automatic firing! Floating gears is for those that are too damned lazy to do it the correct way. They give you a clutch, if, you cannot use it, get your azz out and find another job! Not paying for transmission repairs for someone to damned lazy to do it the correct way! ScottishxPride, Tx.
I am SO glad they finally moved the gear selector out of the middle of the floor! Wow did that look awful in between the seats. This looks so much better. I really like this design.
@@2mkholley not true I've driving both and in traffic weekly the auto is way harder on the driveline than the manual i can just let it pull it self and keep distance in backed up traffic
@@sydhurdle1154you can still listen for your gears, the auto shifts very predictably in traffic. You learn how your gass pedal and rpms trigger different shifts
It's Not An "Automated Manual"...LOL...There Is NOTHING Manual About It...Not In Any Way...It's An Automatic Transmission...And Automatic Transmissions Nowadays Are Superior In Every Aspect To Manuals.
I love the automated and I don’t care what people say. As long I can make money 💰 in the truck who cares. I can drive a manual but this a new time and the ones that crying it a automated stop being stuck in the 60’s and 80’s
I now drive a auto shift truck and I can drive a manual also I have nothing to prove to anybody. If you drive on road 100% auto is the way to go I even use the auto to get up a snowy mountain road this past winter use the hold a gear feature and pulled right up the mountain
Beautiful truck but Im kind of old school. They are in my opinion ruining trucking with DEF/DPF engines and auto shift. I drive a Freightliner with a DD15 and 12SPD auto and im not complaining as i had a major shoulder injury on the shifter arm but if my arm wasnt all screwed and nailed back together id prefer a manual. I started learning on my buddys 86 W900 425 CAT and 15 double overdrive when trucks were trucks. Still love my trucking no matter what i drive.
The cowboys who bash auto r just mad auto drivers r not as tired or beat up after a week of driving through the worst traffic ever in history of highways; most ppl who have cdls have done there share of shifting; absolutely nothing wrong with auto,especially in a working show truck; it actually shifts more efficiently then most ppl; no grinding. I love my auto n will b ordering a 2023 ultrashift for comfort,reliability, n medical reasons
Hey Keith from Angola 🇦🇴 good morning to you, as an Indian 🇮🇳. I am fan of Kenworth and Peterbilt also Volvo VNL of North America 🇺🇸 and this truck is a badass of white colour.
Let them know that they can shift in Manual by holding the button on the side. It’s good for mountains grades or if you don’t want the truck to keep going up and down in the gears during slow traffic.
Beautiful truck. I got one of the last 389’s with the full gage dash. I love it. Didn’t even order the smart nave in this one just because I wanted a full gage package. Sad the 389’s are going away 😢
@@markm0000 well Peterbilt launched the 379X right before they discontinued the 379. They just launched the 389X and I’m told they have a replacement in the works for 2024. I was told it’s a 589. Has a hood similar to the 389 with the cab of a 567. They are trying to make sure it goes over better than the 990 kw did but I’m sure people will not be happy with it
I would love to have something like this but I would need head rack I would rather a back window in it otherwise I would love to have one Exactly like this
Just found this video. When did Pete start manufacturing the 389 with an 18-speed automatic… what year? Also, when did they start manufacturing them with the control on the column… what year? This would be a dream to drive. Volvo and Freightliner have had automatics for decades but they’re 12-speeds. A 12-speed automatic is a joke! Again, this would be a dream to drive. Are the new 589s available with this 18-speed on the column?
Don't care too much of auto or standard after all we are going to get the autonomous trucks and they are going to get rid of all drivers..then we are going to stay at home..good luck dealers selling trucks to big companies .good luck government getting taxes from nobody...this job is getting ridiculous crazy..to all my fellow drivers who i been seeing during this 30 years journey .good luck and blessings on the road..never lose your humor sense .
Damn! I wish my company had autos. I only fuel Costco’s in and around the Sacramento area. Stop and go traffic, local as can possibly be. Roseville, Elk Grove, Sacramento, Woodland, Rancho Cordova, and Folsom. 5 loads a day, 11-14/hrs a day. GREAT company! I love this job, but some trucks shift like CRAP!Makes the day harder. I like manual, but I’m TOO local for a 10 speed. I think anyways.
Hey Keith, nice pete, I got a 389 my self, question, do you know if I can put an ultra shift or that have to come from the factory, as always, enjoy a lot your videos ., thank you
It’s called a headache rack. Air lines on a “pogo stick”. Automatic is a shame. You are more engaged with driving when you have manual tranny. Mountain snow and ice, getting stuck, good luck with your automatic. Leaving out details that o/o would want to know. No offense, but ask a o/o how to point out the things that are important to us. Seat controls, suspension gauge, and how many gauges overall. Seats heated? That’s nice when you get stiff or after tarping and chaining and you need to run 300 miles.
Isolates the batteries from every connection in the truck. Very useful if the truck will be sitting for more than a week. That way you do not come back to dead batteries.
Could I theoretically put an automated trans in an older pre emissions truck? I just started at one of the big companies and l like driving the autos. But like the older trucks and lack of piss juice

They are nice to drive.
I’ve been driving truck for forty years. In an automatic now and love it.
That's what I'm saying! Shifting gears is cool but I enjoy everyday work in Auto!
At least with a manual I don't have to wait for my air to build so the transmission will work...
Automatics are for girls.
Wow nice truck I love that you can get automatic transmission on the 389
I'm so in!!! Really didn't think they made such a beautiful truck in an auto! WOW!!!
If I could buy one, This is the Exact truck I would have.
Exact Spec and color is good.
Love it, getting older, so the auto trans is good.
Love it
I love peterbilt automatic transmission
I got to say it's impressive, my last truck I drove before retirement was a white 379 pete.
Agree 100% on the automated manual.
It's Not An "Automated Manual"...LOL...There Is NOTHING Manual About It...Not In Any Way...It's An Automatic Transmission...And Automatic Transmissions Nowadays Are Superior In Every Aspect To Manuals.
This is my dream truck. This is amazing
Old Drivers never die They just get a new Peter Built
I like that transmission nice tractor
It's so bad ass that they come in automatic if I make it far enough I'm gonna buy 1 of these 🚛
I love the automated and I don’t care what people say. As long I can make money 💰 in the truck who cares. I can drive a manual but this a new time and the ones that crying it a automated stop being stuck in the 60’s and 80’s
Exactly I see so many manual truckers bashing the auto's.
I’m happy if it shifts quickly. Makes acceleration so much nicer.
Thank you for the video. That's a good truck,wish you all the best Keith and take care of you.
I can say as an expert on American Truck Simulator, this truck is the king of the highway!
This Truck is Gorgeous! I’d definitely would buy this if I had the money even if it’s an auto!! 😀👍🏽🇬🇺🤙🏽
I can also drink coffee with one hand on the wheel going down the road in my manual truck!!! No cripples here. Hahaha!
The autos are nice to use. Yea the old trucker in me says.. it's gotta have manual. But my knees say, I'm glad this is an automatic.
I agree auto is nice shifting can be tiring and distracting in city driving
What a beauty and it still does Jake break even though it's automatic
The fridge is not on the floor like most sleepers , nice!
I love this set up I actually want to do a test run on a 18 speed Endurant and the 18 speed manual with the bendix wingman and blindspotter 😁

I believe it would be good on the road but on the field nothing beats a manual
Automatic peterbilt🔥
Remembering Levi🇺🇸🗽
Thank you Bill. Funeral was last Saturday. Tough day but good to get it behind us.
After decades of manual shifting… I love today’s auto-shifters.
My future truck....I want one
Would love to see a video of it being driven
Beautiful rig

very very nice truck Peterbilt 389
I'm glad to see automatic in long nose !!
I need
One of these
I’d totally get this truck in automatic.
beautiful truck I like automatic
I love the auto 18 they work good

I’ve been wondering about that! Thanks!
Ahhh
Steering wheel holders dream
Beautiful, taking a brake from trucking for now, 2024 here I come

They keep saying the 389 is going away. I don’t believe it. Peterbilt would never stop making a truck with that much profit margin.

I like the way the put the gear selector saving more space
I wouldn't drive anything else right now but an automatic,the first time I drove one change everything for me
Let’s talk about those boots! Daaaang.
Tecovas!
Breaks my feels that beauty has an automatic. Queen of the road
Very nice truck ट्रक
They totally mess this truck up, starting with the steering wheel, dashboard, and putting a automatic
Beautiful truck👌👌👍
I would love to have something like this but I would need head rack I would rather a back window in it otherwise I would love to have one Exactly like this
Is it true that Peterbilt is discontinuing the 389 in 2023?
I like it it do the job

Beautiful Truck!!
Vraiment beau , c'est formidable .peut être que je vais faire l'achat d'un 589 Bordeaux.

I'll take a auto over a manual any day. I can drive either one as well. Great video
How much would a truck like this cost?
I'm hearing 2023 is the last year for the 389?
我非常喜欢💕谢谢你的视频
Nice truck
Just curious about the build time. Is it still 10 to 12 months out?
Correct.
@@RockyMountainPeterbilts what’s the price for base model one
I love your boots we have the same taste
dope ass trucc i got a 567 wit a cummins x15 auto nice af
Eso sí es tecnología me gusta mucho el camión
Are the Jake brakes as effective with the auto as it is with a standard trans ?
Not sure about peterbilt but I know the freightliner automatic exhaust brakes works pretty Dang good. Its gots three stages
Yes....they are the same.
On stage 3, you’d have to have your foot on the floor to get down monteagle
Wear your seatbelt if you put the engine brake on high
Very nice
Hey Keith, nice pete, I got a 389 my self, question, do you know if I can put an ultra shift or that have to come from the factory, as always, enjoy a lot your videos ., thank you
You can
Only in the USA 🇺🇸
No hate here. Too much of that crap in this world already,. Smh
I used to be one of those people that said automatic are a NO GO…. But then I actually drove one and .. yeah I kinda like it 😢😅.
I'll drive this one too, if I get the chance
So good!
No more classic chrome full gauges package? Instead electronic speedo screen??
i like this truck, whats your asking price, thanks
How much would I have to put down to get one?
20% so about $40,000 ish.
With all the bad drivers it’s a great option for an automatic transmission
Nice,I like it. But fridge is small for me.
Aí é lindo meu jovem aí e top
Sweeeet
How much MSRP $$$$
💥💥🤙🏽💎💎
Hello, How is the fuel economy with 18 speed automatic transmission? Thanks
I like the new column shift way more room. Do the arm rests fold back on the mid seats?
Yes, armrests still fold back I believe.
Nice one
