Peterbilt Trucks Discussion Thread

[JoeAlex23]

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

389's and W900's are usually custom order, you won't see them get hauled like that IRL.

Right....

[JoeAlex23]

Yeah, but from what year is that picture?

[TruckerKid]

Does it matter? Both trucks are still in production, so of course dealers are going to have them in lots. Not to mention I've personally seen new ones hauled like this within the last year.

[JoeAlex23]

It does, i'm sure it's a VERY rare thing to see on the road, not trying to start a pointless discussion.

[TruckerKid]

I was just correcting your claim that you wont see them hauled like that, when in fact you can.

[JoeAlex23]

Yeah, my bad on that part, i meant to say "you usually won't see them like that", just missed to write "usually" again on my comment but my point about it being something very rare to see still stands.

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.

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.

Rights to the dealership is not the same rights as the plant. Paccar allowed the 2 dealerships day one but notice that to get the Kenworth plant, SCS has to go thru Kenworth. To get WS, they went thru WS, not Diamler. The same will have to happen for Peterbilt, its not automatic. The parent only owns the brands but the brands have to be negotiated with for their plants.

Seeing Peterbilt in the in the browser is for the dealerships. That's not the same as the plant. I'm still 50/50 on the actual plant though. I see it being the same way as WS was. The plant was in place but not activated until WS approved it. SCS can't green light the Peterbilt plant unless Peterbilt gives the green light. The Toronto trip was a good sign but you never know.

I imagine they use the traffic version of the truck to make the cargo, and the new 579 traffic model wouldn't be done yet if it is in the works, so having the old 579 as the cargo makes sense.

If we do get the NG 579, I think the old one should stay. Just decrease the spawning ratio.
