You guys are the king of tri-drive rigs! I hear companies in our industry of super heavy transport that they are going to tri-drive units. We only have one KW, was a beautiful rig until our office let it rust down in Houston after a long winter run in Minnesota! stupid. Is a pushing and pulling son of a gun!
@@mikethetrucknut Mike I totally agree!! With the way work is right now they wont be getting trucks yet. They are beautiful rigs. If you ever need a picture of one of your trucks in Denton let me know, I would love to go take one. lol :-)
Can't they put a pull out fridge and a storage drawer under the bed? That's how European manufacturers fit so much in their cabovers. The little wardrobe is a great touch. It does look great.
hey Mike Iowa Customs makes the fridge and microwave combo can get them for either side. What is the longest wheel base you can have in BC and Alberta on a tridrive?
@@mikethetrucknut Cost? They spent that kind of money for a truck and cheapened out on a safety item like disc brakes?!? Cost shouldn't be an issue with a truck like that!
@@mikethetrucknut thanks Mike, when do you take delivery of your first 398 with the new dash 👎 it’s kinda said old school trucks need old school gauges, I grew up in Quesnel haven’t been back for 15 yrs or so but PG still looks the same.
It seems like in the lower 48 there not building trucks like this at all I’ve always like the big bulky Heavy duty trucks not the pavement pounders that are built down here
@@mikethetrucknut what I’m getting at is like the pavement pounder 389 Pete’s that are super low to the ground and serve the only purpose of driving down a flat road instead of having a versatile truck that can preform all forms of work like the tri drive 389 Pete in your video
@@mikethetrucknut hopefully by the time I decide to be an owner operator the 389 is still an option and looks old school not like the w990 and I’d need one built for all types of rough terrains and conditions
@@danepatterson8785 the 389 is here to stay for a few years, it's getting the new electronic dash this summer and smart switches etc. So she's should be around to 2027 🤞
It depends on what it's doing but In BC we can go 25,500kg on a tridem grouping with winter weights. With a 9axle trailer combination we can gross 72,300kg on special permit.
Absolutely stunning. And I thought the black one couldn't be topped!
That's a super nice truck. Super nice yet built to do some serious work. Great Paint Scheme.
I really like the old school paint design
Love the Ole school paint scheme
I love her! She's gorgeous!

Thanks Brad, we should get you guys another Tridrive and make it a Pete this time. 😉

Wow.What a beast .
Tri drives are so cool!!!
What's the benefit of the tri drive compared to a tri-axel?
@@Flyingfast79 tri drive is 3 drive a axles, tri axle is usually a tandem drive with a lift axle.
Mike that's bad to the bone.look's great thank you for showing it.
One beautiful truck
Thanks Kyle.
Nice truck Mike!
Thanks Mike.
I really like the paint job
Good job Mike!

Это супер трак! Привет из России!
This truck should be called Big Sexy!
Beautiful rig
Rocking Road Star

Man I might have to finally put an order in Mike 😉
👊😎
Nice, what a Beaut
Class us Europeans can only dream about.
We've shipped a 389 to Holland before. 😉 Although I'm sure it would be tricky on your roads.
i like the truck
hey Mike Iowa Customs makes the fridge and microwave combo can get them for either side. What is the longest wheel base you can have in BC and Alberta on a tridrive?
Beautiful truck. What is the frame length or wheel base? It has got to be 300” or better, that’s my guess.
Another Triple XXX Rated Peter Car !! 👍👍
🥜🥜
Very nice truck. What brand/model number where those nice Amber led fog lights. Thanks
Those are arrora LED they are dot aproved and have the amber covers. I can find a part number Monday.
What’s the conversation about 605 vs 565. I have a 605 tri drive 389.
That is an absolutely beautiful truck!! Why drum brakes vs disk? Any specific reason due to its application?
Mostly due to cost but we are starting to do alot more.
@@mikethetrucknut Cost? They spent that kind of money for a truck and cheapened out on a safety item like disc brakes?!? Cost shouldn't be an issue with a truck like that!
@@MS3DALE good point.
Nice !!!!!
How do you get a truck with 78k rear end? I've only been able to find the 69k rear ends with a 20k front axle
Great video, nice ride. What are rear gears in that?
Thanks Mark 4:30
@@mikethetrucknut 4:30 gears? Wow! That'll pull. Also noticed 13,100 KG, dang, she's a muscular type for heavy haul for sure.
😍😍
💪🏼💪🏼
👍
is 78,000lb rears pretty normal in northern BC? In ab they're usually 69k tri drives
69k is more common by about 75%
What’s the wheelbase Mike, gorgeous old school truck
268"WB thank you for the kind words 🙏🏼

@@24nathan48 it will be end of August
@@mikethetrucknut thanks Mike be waiting for your review, keep up the good work and the beautiful trucks rolling. 🍻🇨🇦
Did I miss the base color?
its Radiant Red.
GVW is 63,500 kg ??

sadly that will be the demise of the classics if people stop ordering them.

Price tag ?
How big can you run in Canada with a tri drive
It depends on what it's doing but In BC we can go 25,500kg on a tridem grouping with winter weights. With a 9axle trailer combination we can gross 72,300kg on special permit.
@@mikethetrucknut (in southern bc) when you get up North in the peace area you can pull wheelers and get big weights
How can a new truck be old school?? My 59' little window pete is old school.. not this late model junk
Amen, same with my 70 359, coffin bunk.
Who is "they"? I thought you were the dealer and builder.
The customer did the lowbed rigout in their shop.
Why does he show trucks that are bought?
Needs to try and sell some cool ones
I have cool ones coming for stock but this year everything is selling before i can get it on the lot.
