Did not think I would like an automatic after driving standards for years but let me tell you in traffic jams they are a blessing they are not bad once you get used to them
I have been getting comments about the Check engine light. It stays on for up to 30 seconds as it runs self diagnostics then turns off. Look a few seconds later and see it went out. Also, Peterbilt has been running a large stand-up sleeper in prior models. Peterbilt brought over 400 owner/operators to help design this sleeper version. It does have similar traits to the Kenworth with direct input from you guys thus the table being removed. Hope this helps everyone! Have a great weekend. JW
What did they design? It's identical to the 2016 I'm in now, except mine is a mid-roof. Same cabinets without any real storage, and same really really REALLY small fridge with a cigar box sized freezer. The only thing I see different is the pull-out workstation in front of the passenger seat. Don't get me wrong, I like my truck, but while it's got a great ride, the storage/sleeper area leaves a lot to be desired.
I like the extra passenger rollout desk. Also the drop down ladder for top bunk is an awesome idea. Way over due. Looks a little flimsy but it may be because its on video. Still I like the idea.it's a gorgeous looking truck.
Yes, I stated the type of engine incorrectly. It is definitely a Performance Series engine not an Efficiency. You guys are sharp! Yes, I am human and make mistakes.. :)
I woud say this is much more beautifull and functional than Volvo. More over its Manual, the ultimate driving experiance. Love it. Planning to have one till mid 2019 and Peterbilt is on top of my list.
I didn't think I would like driving one. Always been a long hood kinda guy. My old boss got a few and after a week in it I wouldn't give it back. This has a few more things but it was pretty badass.
Man I love this interior. It reminds me of the 2016 Volvo 780VNL I drove. Tons of space. Really would love to run with this truck, I love the Cummins powerplant
I drive a pete like this expect its a single sleeper n I love this truck its quit smooth n got enough power to go up hills n the engine break keeps this beast steady going down hills fully loaded n wen im parked for the night no more need to run the truck if u wanna run the heater or a/c it runs with the truck off n thats my favorite perk but other than that I love this truck its like driving a car n can put 8hrs of driving before ny break without breaking a sweat no cramps or back pains its great I love it
thats funny seeing PACCAR parts on a truck. didnt know they put their name on parts. i live near them. i see their drivers everyday buzzing all around town aimlessly. must be nice working for PACCAR. probably one of the few 8hr/day trucking jobs around where you get to sleep in your own bed each night and not have to be working late hours. all of their trucks seem to be brand new and smooth as butter. they seem to have very little impact on my area. never heard anyone mention them and not one complaint, yet you cant drive through town without seeing at least one of their trucks. very good drivers best i can tell.
I always liked these 579s. I love the way they look inside and out. Only thing I would change would be the color. I seen one of these in silver and fell in love with it. I didn't see any outlets either so I would add that too. Other than that everything else is excellent.
Tip work for big company for year then buy a truck cheap one easy to find get a small company that charges 10% on loads and you wont waist time with your life on the road trust me
@@dabigkahuna76shabazz17 appreciate it bro I have a close friend said the same I will start after football season is over going to a private Truck school
That Pete with the 505 and a 13 speed manual will average 8 1/2 gal per mile with heavy loads on hills if you know how to shift . I did it for years at May Trucking .
My company got about 30 of these i got one, Never been a fan of the Peterbilt trucks in General But iam growing a Likeing to the 579 Ultra Loft im driveing :) the One thing it needs tho is a comfier Matress,
I'm not that big on peterbilt but I like the classic trucks they produced. I wouldn't mind driving one of these, as long as it has a powerful engine, good fuel mileage, everythjng.
Awesome but where do you sit for down time? It’s just two beds. Volvo and freightliner have a table and benches and Kenworth has a reversible passenger seat. I think Pete’s pretty well behind on that.
I have been looking at this. Are the drive axles further apart then they use to or are may eye playing tricks on me. They look about 5 inches more distance between them. Witch would make it harder to handle on icey roads when it comes to turning. Truck have really come a long ways in the last 50 or so years from the 180 Cummins. Hit a long grade with a heavy load and at the top you would be rocking back and fore in the seat when you were in you last gear and down to 7 to 800RPM just praying it make it over the top. IF YOU WERE RUNNING down the road and happen to get 70 mph out of it. You could bring it to a complete stop long side the road put back in gear it would take close to a half hour to stop it and get it back to 70mph and that would be at 2450 to 2500 rpm we ran a 4:11 to a 4:44 gear in the rearends and these old thing when pulling a hill you had to keep a close eye on water temp and pyro meter so you did not melt the pistons and there was no oil coolers on them no A/C and dam little heat in the winter. So don't bitch about the trucks because most of you if you had to drive on of this old bastard you would last about 5 miles and bring it back and take your stuff and go home. In 50 years and 7 million mile you have seen it all and heard it all. When you think you have mastered a truck go home and stay there. Over confidence will get someone killed every time.
***I wanted to address the check engine light. The CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF AFTER RUNNING SELF DIAGNOSTICS! Look later in the video and the Engine light is clearly OFF.. I appreciate everyone's enthusiasm to point out flaws but the truck is in perfect working condition.
Ok so that visor creates suction. Yes? So does that mean once up to speed I can shut the motor off and it will just suck me down the road? I like it!!!
Similar to the one I was assigned to drive when I drove for Don Hummer. The truck I drove had a single bunk and came with a memory foam mattress. Loved the truck and the company. Never drove a Peterbilt, until I became a driver for them. I took my road test in one, liked the way it shifted and I was hooked since. Don Hummer give you the option of what type of truck you want to drive and whether it's automatic or manual. Of course I went with the manual and loved it. The company had Pete's, Kenworth's, Freightliners and Internationals when I was there and I think some Volvo's. I drove Iowa regional, but preferred to be in the East coast....especially Jersey because I used to drive there everyday, for the other company I drove for. Pete's are the best, to me and yeah...it must be a manual. "An automatic is better when you're in heavy traffic/on the East coast", is bullshit and an excuse.....you obviously can't shift as good and should learn how and/or take a refresher course. Autos are really for girls/women! That's a different story though, I'm out!
Very nice truck.I would like to own one. Too bad is not automatic. I am from the generation that supports technology advancement that increases the comfort of the driver as well. I am a mountain driver and I don't want to hear that crap of better shifting on manual , come with me thru Roger Pass,BC in winter and I show you how is handling the automatic. Is all about the driver how is approaching the battle with the mountains !
Marius, the great thing is that I have automated trucks coming as well. We can help you no matter what your preference is. Just give me a call when you are ready my friend!
My dream truck would be a Volvo with at least a 500 hp motor with auto. Add sliding 5th wheel and tire air monitoring system. And lets not forget the generator ! Add fridge, satellite, and microwave and I am ready to run. I would of course want Peterbilt jakes.They are the best for kissing your windshield from the inside. No problem going down the cabbage fully loaded in winter full jakes.Won't even have to touch the brakes. 20 years over the road,6 years driving overseas and over 45 years accident free.( Waiting for that newbie to tell me about using my jakes in the winter going down hill.)
Are these 579s still backordered like a year or more ? 🤔 Fridge is still too small, they really should've traded a little cabinet space for a big two door Fridge+Freezer
I'm in one of these except mine has the 12 speed auto. The sleeper is very spacious and the built-in factory fridge stays cold unlike those cheap 12-volt coolers. No complaints other than mine is an auto, no choice with being a company driver. My steer axle is also rated for 13,200 pounds, not sure if that is standard for these trucks or something my company had special ordered.
Think thats standard, the last company i worked for had the same type setup on the freightliners. Mainly helps to keep us out of a jam when a little overweight on the steer tires. If the suspension is rated above what the weight will be most cops will look the other way. Had that happen twice in the short time i drove otr.
My 2015 anniversary edition looks good a lot sitting in the shop, and after Thanksgiving it will look good again for excessive oil usage at 345000 miles.
Beautiful... it's too bad, that truckers can't afford a rig like this. They're being "snuffed out" by big trucking companies, that constantly hire new drivers, pay them "shit wages", and make their lives miserable, so they'll quit, and go elsewhere. Then the company can start the process over again.
Why a fuel thirsty performance series instead of the X15E 500/1850? That killed it for me, it's supposed to be a fuel mileage Aero truck... Bunk looks awesome though
You make a great point Charles. Unfortunately, I did not spec the truck and I would have made that very recommendation as well. Very insightful comment. I am always happy to spec and order the truck exactly as you wish. Sometimes when stocking trucks, consumer feedback opts for Performance series trucks in the Colorado area. Great feedback and thanks for watching!
E series is trash, with all sorts of nonsense in the ECM, like coasting, forcing you to upshift in certain gears at 1300 rpms, we drove one of these and the next week drove one that wasn't E series, it ran faster, let you shift at any rpm you wanted and GOT BETTER FUEL MILEAGE.
@@christopherbrooker1887 That's ignorance Chris. Those are all customer parameters that can be set... If you're a company driver that's another story as they will be the only one that controls the settings. The transmission alone has a ton of shift programs the dealer can program in addition to eco coast enabled or not, parameters for upshift and downshift, engine rpm and torque limits at various situations, gears, speeds, etc etc etc etc
Customers aren't smart enough to ask for all that nonsense, motor is still trash, as I said, we got better fuel mileage, pulled harder, ran faster than efficiency series. I will never drive that crap again, but will continue to blow their doors off, and get better mileage doing it
@@christopherbrooker1887 Well you can't fix stupid. And nothing wrong with having options in software! You only drove a X15E that some moron messed with the parameters. ... The key is you can spec right or compete crap. You can take a good motor and make it run like crap with a moron that shouldn't be programming the customer parameters for anyone. Pulling; X15P 505/1850 doesn't pull any harder than X15E 500/1850... actually less with performance series if you are comparing same Tq motor, apples to apples the efficiency series pulls peak Tq down to 1,000 rpm vs 1,150 before falling off. * Now, get the X15P 565/2050 or 605/2050 and that baby will run! Efficiency; X15E will be better every time, apples to apples because of the better software and more efficient hard components like pistons, cam, turbo.
Did not think I would like an automatic after driving standards for years but let me tell you in traffic jams they are a blessing they are not bad once you get used to them

The performance series actually gets as good of MPG as the efficiency series

@@christopherbrooker1887 Well you can't fix stupid. And nothing wrong with having options in software! You only drove a X15E that some moron messed with the parameters.
... The key is you can spec right or compete crap. You can take a good motor and make it run like crap with a moron that shouldn't be programming the customer parameters for anyone.
Pulling;
X15P 505/1850 doesn't pull any harder than X15E 500/1850... actually less with performance series if you are comparing same Tq motor, apples to apples the efficiency series pulls peak Tq down to 1,000 rpm vs 1,150 before falling off.
* Now, get the X15P 565/2050 or 605/2050 and that baby will run!
Efficiency;
X15E will be better every time, apples to apples because of the better software and more efficient hard components like pistons, cam, turbo.
I want to know more about the clutch
Low pressure. Just jam it
beautiful truck and nice video
Does it have mood lighting? Heated and cooled Messaging seats? Does it have HUD? Wish it had rear steering too
