personally my favorite peterbilts are the 359 and 379
Can't wait to see people converting these 589's back to 389's
These 589s need two piece shield and analog gauges really bad
@@Nikowalker007 the reason for the dual windows is because of fuel efficiency.
@@9133beta The idea behind a split window is repairs instead of replacing a whole windshield you only need to replace a section that's cracked saving you on repair cost.
@@nasheemwhye5197 notice how 1 big window is flat and 2 windows are shaped like a triangle
@@9133beta in something like a tractor trailer the aerodynamics of a split shield and a curve shield is negligent, its for looks/windscreen monopoly
I love watching Bruce talk about trucks. It’s like a news anchor given 5 minutes to do research
I love how much he doesn’t know what he’s talking about but continues to improv his way to making a halfway true claim
Ya it’s interesting how he doesn’t really know much, but, hey, he’s a millennial, what do you expect.
As long as KW doesn't discontinue the W900 in the remaining years of my life I'll die happy.
That's right I've own 1 peterbuilt I sold it 60bdays after I bought it I've always owned KW w900L studio sleeper trucks that's the Rolls-Royce of trucks
The w-9s are more classier
They will, that's why there is a W990, and I think that the T680 would replace both anyway.
389 is more classier let’s just keep the W-9 and the 389 and yes, my life will be happier until I die…
To be fair the W900 already got the 589 treatment with the redesigned front end, Kenworth just didn't call it a new model.
It's obvious on the doorline they're different. Can't wait for it to come to American Truck Simulator!
There's a trucking company in Taranaki New Zealand that used to import Peterbuilts and convert them to RHD under full rebuilds.
Their colour scheme is very similar to the green Pete in the workshop.
Very smart looking rigs.
Yup, I've seen a few of their Peterbilt's, wished we had more of them.
Uhlenberg have some beautiful Peterbilts hauling LPG tankers down the Taranaki, NZ.
Just fabulous trucks. Love one of my own.
Wow thats oldschool...a thermostat😂
My new MAN looks like a spaceship now😂😂
Two things that don't go together. Die Hard Trucker and Bruce Wilson
Give the guy a break. He still wet behind the ears.🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Bruce Wilson is a wannabe
I was at the plant in Denton this morning
Just a few “hold” 389s left on the back lot
That’s progress huh
Cab looks a little off from the overall looks of the truck but versatility is a lot better! I thought the 589 would be a whole refreshed look but I’m happy they kept this design around a little longer
It seems like the 589 kept the old school look but added to it
A thermostat and one piece windshield! You guys in the US are truly living in the future! 🤖
You forgot to mention one great invention, a button that turns on all the lights in the cockpit 🤣
I’m guessing they usually have two piece is for two reasons.
One cost is cheaper having square & flat screens &
Secondly but actually the main reason FITTING & replacement out in the field due to the big hood, or bonnet we call it in the U.K.
I drive a Scania all day at work & love my Beast it’s King Of The Road.
I really like the one piece windshield on the PeterBuilt, can tsee a problem with it freezing up, that’s kind of ridiculous with modern heating technology, but I do like the split screen, split screen is mean & aggressive looking, tough looking & I like that. To be honest split screen looks better from the outside, single screen better for driving.
The flip up piece of plastic on the desk drawer in the sleeper is hilarious, it's just a bare piece of acrylic with screws through the face attaching it to the hinges. It looks like something someone made in their garage.
Yeah. A crappy, soulless and overpriced future. Rejoice.
we’ve had ac since the 80s, just not a switch with numbers
This 589 is gorgeous!
🤢
😢
That 589 shares alot in common with a T880
I really do love the look of all those trucks... but comparing them with the EU trucks, they look to be a handful to drive... Especially the longer frames. What a huge turn radius they must have! So my hat's off for the guys and girls driving those and backing those things up with a trailer attached. But again: they really look freakin' cool!
Luckily they still offer a long hood. Can’t say the same for Freightliner Mack western star I was disappointed at first but the 589 looks better than any other new road truck 😢
I’d like to take one for a ride. I miss my old 389 a little bit. I got excited when I heard this was coming out. I’d like to drive it and see how it compares to the 389. I already like the wider cab, having that extra space is a big plus!!
Would definitely pick the 389!
Same
No doubt
No doubt
The 589 is a good looking truck. I like all the room it now has over the 389. When you’re in the truck for 6 days a week, loading your belongings and groceries and climbing over it all to squeeze through the seats and put it away in the sleeper and having to take it all back out at the end of the week, gets very frustrating. As I get older, I choose comfort more than anything now. As long as they can build a good deep visor to cover enough of the windshield, it’ll be great. In a couple years of these trucks being out on the road, all the naysayers should be “done driving” anyways,or they’ll be bragging about how much better their 589 is than the other guys truck
The windshield is a disaster just like the volvo snow and rain can't see nothing
Neway is a great suspension.
I would imagine with a wider cab they needed to hug the breathers to the cab so they don’t stick out too far.
Yeah exactly gay as fuck
Ive never drove a 589 but ive spent some time in a 579…which is basically the same cab as a 589. And I do not like it at all, it just doesn’t feel right. Theres just nothing like the experience of driving a 379/389
I really like the throw back 359 air breathers on the new tan pete
I like the new cab.
The legend died with the 379
Agree
I'll keep driving the 379 I have. It will be the last semi I drive.
I love how they call the 389 "OLD". 379 and 359 are old and the last good trucks Peterbilt made
@@RyanShull-q1d Same here.
I’m a proud Scot and also a truck driver. As far as trucks go in the UK and Europe I would never choose to drive anything but a Scania but I have never been a van of the T-cab or “bull nose” as they are commonly known here. When I look at trucks in the US and Canada I absolutely love how the old Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks look. If I lived there I’d definitely want one although to be fair, the cab over trucks you guys have look great too. Maybe less room inside than we have but but I think I could live with it. The newer style Volvo that I’ve seen over there just don’t look right to me. They may well be great trucks but I much prefer the boxy shape of the classics.
The 389 and 589 are a fever dream for company drivers and people that want to buy a truck but feel they need something that looks “old school” to justify themselves to other people. It has a narrow industry recommendation (flatbed, tanker) yet people buy them to haul van/reefer and bury themselves in debt because the freight costs can’t keep up with the fuel mileage
They are both awesome vehicles!
I may not be a trucker, but I like looking at them, but, in opinion, 351s and 359s still look better to me. Something about them older trucks, seem to have more spirit in them than the newer ones.
Especially the twin stick trucks, I've only seen one, but sadly she met her end...or so I'm told. Bless all you truckers out there and the hard work you all put in, bless you, amen.
That 589 peiterbilt would look great in the heavy hauling version just like the lime green one.
Love the 389s and I’m sad to see them go. That being said I also love the 589s and I’m happy to see them arrive. I absolutely hate the aero trucks. I’ve spent a ton of time in the 579s as a TMC driver and also in the 379s before they sold all of those. I’m thrilled that Pererbilt basically combined the two designs to give drivers all the comfort of the 579 with the style of a 389! The lack of space between the seats of the 379 was kind of annoying and I’m not a wide guy. I prefer a 13 speed manual but have no 18 speed experience. I’m tall so the flat top sleeper is a total no go and I honestly don’t like the look. Needs a mid roof like the TMC trucks because the high roofs look terrible too unless you pull a box. Anyway great video and I’m glad to see a better view of the 589. The air cleaners look a bit weenieish compared to the 389 but I’ll take the comfort and the hood any day over a stupid sloped nose b***h wagon! Should’ve done away with the 579 and kept the 389 instead 😂. I get it though and at least they tried hard to modernize the classic look without totally ruining it or scrapping it!
Rattly 70’s spec uncomfortable back breaking truck makes way for another rattly 70’s spec uncomfortable back breaking truck. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂you're so terribly funny
@@AlbertaBoy745 Thank you. 😂
@@Outbackcogs no problem,I love giving compliments
@@AlbertaBoy745 👍😂
The new Freightliner Coronado
Thanks for the video
It’s honestly sad to see the 389 be discontinued. I feel like the age of iconic semis like the 389 and w900 are slowly but surely coming to an end.
I know this will probably never happen, but I wish that they were still making cabovers. Cabover semis are so cool. Ive been looking to buy one but they are so rare nowadays.
My favorite truck is the 389 but I gotta say the 589 isn't half bad. A lot of the switches and the cluster look identical to what in the new kw t880. We got 3 of them where I work and they're really nice trucks other than 2 have the mx13 crappar the other has the mx11
Bruce I have a picture of a 389 taken in 2021 with a 1 piece winshield. The cab is riveted together, found the truck @ loves in N.Mexico, I knew something was strange when I saw the truck, the reason I snapped a photo. Truck was bright green pulling a chem tanker.
Nice unit but a heavy haul in Europe is now 700 plus hp , Lots of Volvo's and Snania's here in NZ ..
Lots of Heavy Haulers here in USA with 800hp+ as well
@@scottycollins1829 From factory?
All the peterbilt 579's and the KW T680's have air assisted hydraulic clutches that's been out for a while.
Gonna be interesting to see how they chop the top on a 589 for us big ballin' folks.
beautiful truck ready for 105500 low boy action
I can’t wait to see them customized.
It will look like a dressed up turd 😂
So this is practically 50 years of evolution of American trucks? And truckers complain about the single bigger windshield. Scania skipped splitted windshields already in the 1940's on their trucks.
American trucks seem to be the only vehicles in the world that still have split windshields. For example no car or no farm tractor has them anymore. One important reason is that the lath between the windows disturbs the visibility the same way "wunderbaums" and other things hanging in the middle of the windshield do. These are in fact illegal in many countries.
It's crazy but without the visor it kind of has a 86 GMC General vibe to it. Probably just me.
The big windshield is absolutely dangerous in winter. The wipers don’t sit flat on the curvature of the windshield and snow build up on them. I drove a 579 and no matter what I tried, you could not keep that windshield clear driving in snow. Definitely the scariest truck I’ve ever driven in winter.
That is not a problem in European trucks so it must be something else than the curvature of the glass xD Do you have straight glass in you're automobile also?
@@vihreelinja4743 further more, European style trucks operate just fine in Russia. Including severely inland parts where winters are as harsh as ones in Canadian Northern Territories and Alaska.
@@vihreelinja4743to be fair, it’s a given that the windshield on a Cabover is going to be much flatter.
I want to see you get the 589The match of your collection
I like the 389's & I like the Green Bean but if it was mine I'd probably prefer it in black
I see Peterbilt redesigning out the dash on in next redesign model to add more gauges.
At 4:51 that’s the Peterbilt 589 that semi casual is building for the Mid America Truck Show I’m curious how there gonna build and install the the air cleaner lights if they make any at all
I'm a daycab heavy hauler, and for a sizeable guy (a bit over 6'6" and 216lbs) the 589 is a much better, more comfortable choice.
Yes
Looks like the same cab as the 567 I drove two years ago, just with plastic wood grain, Kenworth HVAC knobs and a different hood. Hopefully they got their digital dash problem figured out. I thought I had read PACCAR was trying to get Petes and KWs to share more parts to cut down on build costs. With the build quality of the newer trucks, I wouldn't buy one, no matter the brand. I driven beat to hell 90's era Ford L9000s that had less rattles then the 2014, 2016, 2019 and 2021 trucks have driven. Not to mention all the emissions system problems.
Hi Bruce
Love it!!
Now the Kenworth and Peterbilt, or basically the same platform before they were their own unique vehicle now is basically the same thing
miss the 359 and 351
I THINK THE TRUCK MAKERS COULD SELL MORE IF THEY BROUGHT SOME REPLICAS BACK FROM THE OLD DAYS LIKE FORD DID WITH THE SHELBY MUSTANG AND DODGE DID WITH THE CHARGER ONLY THEY COULD NOT MAKE A GENERAL LEE ANY MORE BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE SO CALLED RACIST. WOULDN'T IT BE COOL IF MACK MADE A B MODEL REPLICA OR INTERNATIONAL AND KW AND PETE STARTED MAKING THE NEEDLE NOSES AGAIN AND THE BULL NOSES. PUT IN THE OLD LOOK LIKE TWIN STICKS AND THE OLD MODEL A FORD HEADLIGHTS. 4 INCH STACKS. MAKE IT COOL AGAIN BUT IT IS ALL ABOUT FUEL ECONOMY NOW WITH THE PLASTIC CRAP TRUCKS. PAINT THEM WITH FARM TRACTOR COLORS LIKE JOHN DEERE GREEN IH RED, ALLIS CHALMERS ORANGE, FORD BLUE, DEUTZ GREEN, OLIVER GREEN, @TeIegramme_Bruce_Wilson7
I want those spinner hub covers for my 579.
I want the 589 over the 389. It looks more quiet and comfortable to operate. Heavy Haul 589 is what I am ordering
Six analog guages at the secondary dash and a fully digital main dash? Why not go digital all the way on the secondary dash with unlimited sensors attachable to the secondary panel? Customization becomes way easier!
Why not go all the way back to all analogue
I am a die hard Kenworth guy, i love my 900"s, but having said that, a Peterbilt 389 is also a very nice truck. What i will give Peterbilt alot of credit here for is the fact they did atleast keep somewhat of the classic look alive. Unlike Kenworth and their God awful 990.
Very close to a volvo with a hood
after a year or 2 there will be alot of option for customization im exicted too see it !
the door handle
I'll just keep my Cascadia. I love the comfort and the cab size .
I only wish the cascadia sounded better. i like Pete's.. but i'd rather drive a Cascadia.
I bet your boy friend drives a volvo....
@@seananon4893 How original. lol
Is that the best 'gay' joke you got ?
Come on , i'll give you a second chance.
I got lots more, but I was just messin with ya, not trying to be an asshole. @@TowMater603
the 389 wins hands down.
Off topic, but where u get your shades at?
Air cleaner is different too
Literally nobody thinks this 589 Pete is a legend or ever will be
Are glider kits still a thing?
It’s a 389 with a single windshield just like the 389 is a 379 with different style headlights
looks like his truck is an "Escape Pea" green!!
Yes there is a big difference. One is ugly and the other is beautiful! The orange 589 is ugly to me😂
Those lights being behind the grill looks good but it definitely cut their effectiveness by half or more.
The Tesla truck may be owned and built in the U.S. but I bet almost 75% of it comes from overseas.
I think you're confusing Peterbilt with another company. Because Peterbilt is still U.S.-owned, it's run by the same firm that owns and runs Kenworth. PACCAR! You might be thinking about either Mack (Volvo) or either Freightliner or Western Star (both are Mercedes), lol...
@@dth2brny121 see I thought so as well but I got into a disagreement with someone about it and he pulled up some information that u can’t seem to find that shows that the biggest majority of Vanguard stock is owned by investors overseas. If that’s true yes it would still be considered a U.S. company however controlled by the majority stock holders.
I feel bad for all the guys who got taken advantage of on the prices for last model yr, everyone should've told them to keep them
I'll take the 589. Love the color. Where do I sign up 😊
Large windshields are fine. Northern ab here and drove a 567 with the same style windshield. Make sure the small micron cab air filter goes in the garbage and just use the one thick cab filter. Then make sure you keep your AC button on as it draws out humidity. If it has auto climate I hit auto then hit window and feet and set temp to 73ish and have never had an issue with the window freezing as far down as -47°C.
However, the older trucks like that 389 or a w900 have the worst fan heaters in the world and the worst wipers. What pieces of junk that have never been update since 1986 when the t800 came out. Now those windows get icey and fogged up real quick.
Super cool video 🖐️👏👍🥰
what's funny is Peterbuilt is getting rid of 389 and Freightliner is bringing back cab over semi
Freightliner has BEEN making the Argosy
I'll keep patching up my 379 till I can't 😢
Awesome vid Bruce new truck on the way ?
Bruce made fun of kenworth but now kenworth is the only one who makes a real truck now. The 589 is basically just as crappy as any other Tupperware truck. W900l forever!
Leave it to a super trucker to tell you what’s real in trucking
It's the reason to be on the 500 series . Basicly that is the 579
Peterbilt 589; We Finally got to cheeping out the 389
No stacks from factory?
After reading these comments I can safely assume that none of you have been inside a 579! It's the same truck. They just put a hood on it!!
Death of the 3xx series yes, but more so death of the split windshield
Looks like a western star with peterbilt hood
It's got the 567/579 cab, only different from the firewall to the front bumper
I will still choose the 379
Cool.
It’s got a 567 cab
From 1950 -1960 👋👋👋
You were able to order a 389 or the old cab with a one piece window tho it was nothing new
I love the comments here on the Euro fanboys inserting their precious Volvo FH16-780 and Scania 770S and bragging about the power output while completely ignoring the fact that:
1. China has an 800 horsepower Sinotruk and 840 horsepower Shacman. But we don't talk about that here to protect the reputation of their precious Euro trucks.
2. As if all trucks in Europe are FH16-780s and 770S, a lot of models aren't and theg typically have 400 to 500 horsepower.
3. These computer controlled engines are just a laptop or chiptune and a few bolt-ons away from 700? 800? Perhaps even more than 1,000 horsepower. Hell, some of these work trucks are tuned North of 1,500 horsepower. (Waiting for the "bUt iT diDn'T cOmE fRoM tHe fAcTorY tHaT wAy."
😅
1. Not many Europeans want a low quality chinese shitbox, no matter how much power it has. Chinese products aren't exactly famous for their quality.
2. You're correct about that. The market for those 700+ hp trucks is pretty small. These are expensive too. That's why only Scania and Volvo are making them. Less powerful trucks are enough for the big market on the European continent.
3. Yes. you can take out 1000 hp just by programming the engine's computer. And for example Scania makes marine versions of the same 16 litre V8 with up to 1150 hp. But It isn't only about the engine power. It's about the whole driveline and the frame. It has to withstand the huge torque and has to be optimized for it. Also cooling down the engine needs some new solutions.
That green is ugh and it needs a bigger bunk.
You guys hollering about the 379 and 389 being old school.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm guessing most of you aren't old enough to remember the 358 or 351. WAY smaller cab. Or a 352?
Old school😂😂😂😂
Since everyone has a opinion mines I do not like that 589 breathers are goofy being so long wide cab on it weird also and no it won't grow on me lol least the 389 from 379 actually looked good
They had to make the breathers smaller because the cab is wider, the truck can only have so much overall width. The only other "widecab" truck with external breathers is the International Lonestar
🎉389
the 589's are very rounded compared to the 389's
I only drive my pacific p16
Wtf you didn't had thermostat controlled aircon? My 1991 merc has that from factory 😂 trucks in europe have that for probably around 35 years as an option and at least 20 years as standard😅
The cab on the 589 needs rivets.. they dropped the ball there. The dash ain't it either. It's not all bad though.
