Peterbilt Trucks Discussion Thread

It looks cool ngl

In my opinion, the the 567 looks fine with the Ultraloft cab. It doesn't look all that different than the Western Star 49X does with the 72" sleeper cab.

tbh, kinda looks like freighliner Cascadia and peterbilt 389 had a baby lol

I disagree more like the w990 and the 579 having a baby lol

I’d say it’s weird being in the mid-way, but not too bad. Just a pair of vertical stacks and the look is complete.

So yeah it’s the baby of the 389 and the 579.

I have said it for years, its a shame the 389 and W900 has not gotten more love over the years, the most iconic American trucks.
Only way to get a good 389 now is sketch payware I wont touch. I say that as I have bought many sketch payware planes for MSFS lol... To be fair, most of them are good, just they tend to release them in a poor state and then update it.

Anyway, I always found it so strange that none seem to care about these trucks. Especially on this forum... just like none care about the manual transmission... xD Heck, I dont even care about the manual transmission anymore, I like the auto's, especially these days, SCS has gotten them to a really good state and I'm sure it will get even better.

As far as I can tell the Pete 389 is the truck people aspire to own, imagine that is changing these days but traditionally that was the one to have. So I really hope we get these these trucks sorted properly some day. Personally, I enjoy any high quality truck, some engine options in some trucks still sound terrible and I'm one that actually like most of SCS sound now, but the Volvo VNL still sound pretty bad and weird. But I'm sure SCS will get that sorted, kinda hard to do now during the pandemic even if people are starting to get vaccinated. I have my first one and getting the second one in a few weeks.

If there’s one model in game which really deserves a full rework, it would be the 389, and it will be definitely worth it.

I hope they do some sort of textured updates at least, while releasing the Peterbilt tuning pack. Personally, the 389 is the only long hood truck I love. I like the mid sleeper variant. Now all I’m waiting for is a tuning pack with more paintable parts and much longer stacks.

I’m team W900. Between the two Paccar trucks, most of us classic truck lovers would love to get ATS’s first tuning pack to these brands to get some love. There have been plenty of people talk about these two trucks though. Not much silence has gone on. Same with getting a shifter in trucks. I don’t do automatics but no point in complaining either. Not for this. I have my subjects I’ll push on and neither of these trucks nor tuning packs are it.

Yeah plenty of us want updated w900 and/or 389. I don't care too much about manual since we can drive as if they were manual anyway and I've got an Eaton stick next to me here if I want to look at something

[pigbrother]

Yeah, I said this many times before, the 389 and the W900 are the last hooray of the classic era and deserve better (much better). Yeah, is a supplemental effort for two already existing models, but I think this should be considered. Most likely ETS2 players will whine, but tbh Scania R 2009 and DAF XF 105 (or Magnum or Actros MP3) would deserve the same treatment to make it fair with two legendary oldies per game.

Maybe one day... (sobs, yeah, sure)

[dkasper00]

I'm neither, Mack person here.

Would honestly be happy though for those who like the W900 and 389 when and/or if the 389 and W900 get refreshed.
