Where passion meets purpose

  • Customers are instantly greeted with rich colors and decadent materials such as deep burlwood accented with the bright metal scripted and speared Peterbilt logo that match the exterior adornments
  • There are rich supple leather accents on the door, steering wheel and seats
  • Displays and controls are elegantly adorned and easily accessible to further enhance the feeling of convenience and luxury, all while delivering on the roominess customers desire

  • The wider cab allows for improved entry to the sleeper and improved three-person seating in the day cab
  • The cab has been lowered by two full inches (compared to the Model 579 and Model 567), giving the Model 589 a more aggressive stance, easier ingress and egress for drivers and improved clearance to over-cab bodies
  • The luxury continues with triple-sealed automotive-style doors
  • They offer a quiet cab experience, reduced closing effort, and have power locks and windows
  • Like the exterior, the low long linear theme flows from the cab through to the sleeper, which is also wonderfully styled for comfort, luxury class and convenience
