Peterbilt Trucks Discussion Thread

Supposably it still has external air breathers vs the w990, according to a dealer on YT who saw an image of it.

I'm thinking that the 389 substitute probably will be something like a long hood version of the current 567, with same sleeper options, and probably orderable without breathers or with breathers(Smallers than the current ones on the 389, probably the stock one will have lateral air intakes with chrome features, to resemble the external breathers).

And with every model iteration they change front lights a bit so i expect them to change the light for ones more like the ones on the 379 or 369 to make the truck look more classic.

I guess this confirms some things...

As much as the load for now is the Old 579, but for now it might be a placeholder. But, it practically confirms the Peterbilt Plant in Denton!

Yeahh piggybacks would indicate a plant imho. That would be 3 out of 7. Not bad. I wish we also got the International plant in San Antonio as well. That would cover 4 of the 7 and give us more piggybacks. At least the LT.

Oh cool! Tho its the the old one BUT I think transporting used trucks is a thing tho..

[flight50]

Transporting the old 579 and not the NG could also mean the plant is there and active but no real life branding. That is possible as well. A generic building could be the case for now.

I would be nice to haul more truck models from the assembly plant such as Peterbilt 389

To have Peterbilt dealerships as companies, I believe more that the Peterbilt Plant already exists and we will have a special blog soon talking more about it. Style Kenworth blog that confirmed her addition to Washington.

That new company browser feature also lists Peterbilt though, and the Peterbilt logo has appeared on the map at every dealership, just like with Kenworth and Western Star.
I think it's very likely that actual Peterbilt will be a deliverable company.
