Thats a beautiful truck, my father owned logging trucks on the east coast for 62 years, so i got to spend a lot of time with him ordering and picking up new trucks, in 1972 we both flew from NS to the IH plant in Oshawa and picked up his new Transtar 4300, good times.
Mike, you make a good point about having the front and middle axel (in a tri-drive configuration) connected to one locker switch. You can add a lot lot of traction very quickly with a single switch. I own a 1998 Kenworth W900 with a tri-drive and each axle (front, middle and rear) all have separate locker switches. After trying both configurations I decided to go with a single locker switch per axle on my tri-drive. It's just 'felt' right.
Beautiful truck Mike but I still think the driver side fuel tank should be even with the passenger side fuel tank and have the battery step box on the driver side. I know you said before that you do it to protect the tank but what’s protecting the passenger side tank where it’s mounted? Nice paint And I like me that you put the skinny tapered bumper on it . How many times in the winter you see these guys with the twisted Texas bumpers from catching a snow bank that’s frozen solid when they thought it was fresh powder
Mike, aside from the fact that 367 SF axle is no longer available, just what is the specific difference between 389 short hood (388) and the 367 SF in this video ❓❓
Believe than the next best PACCAR choice the 389 short hood (388). I still vote the 567, the 5 series cab is fantastic, the 3 series folks are too close minded to see the future.
@@billupstateny9151 i don't see why the 5 series cab is more superior than the 3 series cab that has been used for decades. Why couldn't they improve that cab instead of making a new cab that will looks out dated in 10 years
@@jansen7640 First 567 is the future, that will not change. Most important is the cab width. The narrow aisle is just cumbersome. Most 389 owners are the older generation & mobility between seat & sleeper should matter. The split windshield is horrible in snow/ice Fuel prices (aerodynamics) are going to jump again because the U.S. Has poor leadership & they believe in a mythical elec semi. The 389 life expectancy is very uncertain beyond 2024, 2025. So get behind the replacement or buy used & pour in some 💲💸💲👀😎
@@jansen7640 fleet owners have already surrendered for the T680 and Pete Clone. So it is only owner/ops + few speciality businesses that keep the 389 afloat. With high demand this year, this model likely finds a soft landing in 2023 then PACCAR will make some long/short term decisions.😎👀

Now , that's a real headache rack for sure love it
Thanks Peterbilt Mike. We enjoy your videos down here in Southern California.
You should do a Tech Talk Tuesday on the differences and reasons between a set forward and set back steer axle configuration.
weight/bridge laws and manuverabilty
I asked for this topic a few weeks back
Great video love the paint job kind of old school with a twist. It is to bad that the 367 is going away it was a good old simple truck.
Super cool truck,..very tiny railway.
I like 410s with my 2 spd aux nice truck fantastic vid 👍👍
I could smell the interior of that new Peterbilt as soon as you opened the door.

love new trucks but still don't like new engine rather the old series 60 n14 c series catapillar
This is Eli and I love the video and the truck
NOTHING LIKE PICKING UP YOUR NEW RIG EVEN BETTER IF IT'S A CABOVER A BUD!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You seem like a wealth of knowledge when it comes to specing something heavy.
Nice 👍
Appears that truck has extended cab, standard or optional on 367?❓❓🤔😎🕵👀
I put it on all my trucks. Makes all the difference in the world.

The 367 has a fiberglass hood. The 388 is aluminum and has a bigger Radiator
This is quite the rig, wish them well on their journey, can you put two of the diffs on Kenny
Hey Peterbilt Mike how’s the sales of the Peterbilt 389s doing
Mike another great looking truck! Do ever order 2 speed rear ends . Had it in my fathers KW900B, had highway gears and bush gear all in one.
No we don't do the 2spd rear ends
awesome has always mike..👍💖

567 is lame

Why are they getting rid of the 367 set forward model?
Sweet pete
wonderful truck sorry that Brazilian legislation doesn’t allow driving here in Brazil
Doesn't allow driving there in Brazil??? Paulo explain man I don't understand
I could put that truck in an environmentally controlled shop & drive it ONLY on CORVETTE approved days, maybe nights as well. 🚛👌😇
What does ,set forward means?
The front Axle is set forward.
Why is one of the last?
They stopped building the set forward Axle version of the 367. I've delivered all the ones I had now.
