Review: Peterbilt 589 interior with some added chrome 

My biggest problem with these new trucks is the price! Quarter million dollar trucks doesn’t make any cents let alone dollars in 90% of trucking operations today. Unfortunately I’ve been priced out of the new market.

Needs more REAL GAUGES in the dash

I’ve owned 2 379s,a 579 and currently a 389.The 3 series cab is a Peterbilt,it has the right ergonomics,the right visibility and mostly the right looks.Having owned a 579 for a couple years I know the 2.1 cab is quite and comfortable but it looks and feels like a Sterling or Volvo.As a single truck owner operator I’ve always bought my trucks used,about 3 years old,usually the second owner.My CAT powered 379s were awesome trucks.The 579 and 389 have both had emissions issues.These new trucks are not for owner operators anymore,you have to have a small fleet to cover for downtime when they’re in the shop.

Beautiful truck its just me i never buy anything newer than 2007

Can somebody (say, maybe Peterbilt…..) make a 20 or 32 oz tumbler that actually fits in the cup holders, or size the cup holder to a Yeti. Please!!!!!! 🤔🤔🤔

Great looking 589, imagine that in a nice Blue. Legendary Blue maybe.

I still take the 389 over the 589 anyday

I am so proud of Peterbilt for thinking of the tall turban wearing steering wheel holders with the added headroom.

I’ll stick with my 359 all day everyday

Gr8 Vid of the 589 custom accessories

I love the 389 and the 579 great combo. I’d take it way better then the KW990

579 with an extended old school looking hood…that’s the reality

They should have dumbed down the dashboard and got rid of the digital dash or at least had an option to get rid of the digital dash... Move the cruise control to the actual dashboard instead of the steering wheel and enabled drivers to install custom steering wheels.... Basically Peterbilt took all the fun out of having a custom Peterbilt and turned it into a plastic corporate money making tool It's either our way or the highway....

Same cab as a T880 Kenworth 😮

You would think for the absurd prices that new trucks are selling for, they could put carpet on the floor instead of using some cheap mud flaps 😎 I had to laugh when you were talking about how quiet it was and then you turned on the turn signal LOL. Good grief. I'd be finding a way to make that a little quieter I think the change is the hardest for us older guys. The first Peterbilt that I drove was a 1972 log truck. That was when I first started driving in 1979. I loved that truck. Yes the cab was smaller and it wasn't very quiet, but that truck had personality that none of the new trucks will ever have... That said, the new trucks are nice. They ride good, they are quieter, the HVAC systems are incredible, and you can run big power reliably. One thing I definitely don't miss is having to crawl through the small window in the back of the cab to get into the little sleeper. It was either that or open one of the sleeper doors on the outside and hoist your butt up on the little step and try to get up on the mattress without falling off.

Paccar has a new cookie cutter cab..... 589, t880, w990.... all the same..... rite down to the door bell dinger.... hydraulic clutch in all.... only difference is a peterbilt emblem..... you could always get black interior in W900L or western stars.... RIP.... PETERBILT

Very nice looking truck

In my opinion, if there's one thing to complain about. It would be that brown woodgrain interior. 200K plus truck and in 2024-25 woodgrain in the interior is still in the interiors. Also, why not a proximity keyfob with a push-button start. No blind spot monitoring. No backup cameras, you would think in a 200K plus work truck when it comes to safety it should have that or have that as an option. Actually, it should have it, period! If a 25-30K car like Nissan or Toyota comes standard with those amenities, a 200K plus work truck should have all that! Don't you think that's would be worth complaining about? Instead of a bigger windshield or bigger interior..

The dashboard is terrible if they incorporated a different dash it would be different all that money for a hooded truck with the same dashboard as a plastic throw away truck peterbilt should be ashamed for the hat Long live the W900L

I really dont understand how people say this is nice interior seems so generic

Mudflaps? Floor mats? Mud mats? Floorflaps?

People are people who always have something to complain about! A bigger cab and bigger windshield is something to complain about from the previous trucks, really?

I can't wait to get one of those. So NICE

Peterbilt does an awesome job with their trucks while k w really went south in quality and looks

Hi Semi Causal

Air assisted clutch is a huge mistake!!!! Can't control your jake with the play in the clutch on the micro switch. No trolley brake for flowboy trailers feeding asphalt pavers. These companies are building trucks like shit!!!!

Orange Blossom and I'm glad to see a manual transmission 👍🏿

I drive a t680 right now, and hate it. The ergonomics are utter garbage. The windshield is way to big, the cab boils or freezes because of it. Wind noise is monstrous, everything bein so aerodynamic. Lastly the rattles, everything squeaks.

What,you new young drivers,first the clutch is only for take off,2nd that dashboard just ain't right without all those nice crome gauges,and quiet,what,I whant to hear my Peter car screaming, and see the black Cole rolling out,man that's just butchery

Well I love it. I have 579 . I think Peterbilt needed that sleeper as big as what I have in my 579. Thanks for showing this to all. Linda

Then immediately after go drive a 389 And realize it's a much better truck. Just doesn't have climate control.

still HATE that damned dashboard...looks like it came out of a chevy suburban!!!

I understand These guys have to say good things and keep a good relationship with Peterbilt, but I drive a 579 Peterbilt and I can tell you that this is probably the worst plain cheap garbage interior of all. The sleeper is nice, but the cab is absolutely cheap and so much useless wasted space. It’s cheap looking and it looks so plain compared to any other model.

❤

I do like them as a flat top thats nice not big on orange id Sooner go black or a nice gun metal grey but thats just me and thanks for showing how far back the seats go im 6ft 1 im in a kenworth t680 i wish i had about ft more

😍 just started driving almost 2 weeks ago and thoroughly dislike the boredom of an automatic and the slugish 12 speed

Looks nice. Change is inevitable.

It's pretty cool🎉

Hey what’s up bros how y’all doing much love

Review ????.....Infomercial I suspect 😁😁

I dont think it's possible to get any nicer, as far as the "Cool Factor " goes....its off the charts!

Don’t like 22.5 inch rubber. 24.5 low pro all the way!

Very nice truck I really like it

What’s the ride quality like compared to a 389

The interior is way bigger and better, the driver don’t of to be struggling between seats to get to the bunk.

I’ll be honest I really don’t want to like the 589 but that truck is sweet!

as a european interior dosent look complete without pelmet and side curtains

I was about to say “why do you have mud flaps inside the truck? lol Nice, but I can’t understand Peterbilt making it look more like a KW

Is it me, or is the 589 really a 579 with a 379 nose?

That drop down visor do you know where I can order in Canada?

587 with a nose is what it looks like to me

Nice looking 589. Very roomy

Very nice

Not much new to the cab, it you’ve been in a 579/567. Looks the same to me. Does Peterbilt still offer the cup holder next to the passenger seat, have had on in ALL the daycab Pete’s I’ve driven 379,389,567,579

Would love that visor , mirrors, and exhaust stacks on my 579

I love the Classic look of the 389, they're just hard for me to drive, at almost 6'4" there wasn't a lot of room, I drove mostly daycabs, which are not roomy to begin with. I now work for a Peterbilt dealership delivering new and used trucks to customers and moving them between our dealerships. So the 589 is wonderful with the bigger cab and the windshield. I especially love the bigger windshield because of the curved portion because in the winter time the snow would build up on the 389 windshield where now it slides off of the 589 windshield

The bow tie visors are nice! It would be nice for mounting my Verizon dashcam it would be out of the way versus my current standard drop visor. I wish the SmartNav would come with CarPlay!

I was at the plant yesterday dropping a trailer , and had to go back to the C lot Drove by all the new 589s They’re starting to grow on me Makes sense The cab has a sh$t ton more room I should know cause I’m driving a 2021 567

If u put red watermelon on backside of air cleaners, do they hit the door when u open. I have a new 589 coming

Pending on the windshield wipers how they're set, can the wipers be set to stop a certain point? If so, what if a chrome strip down the center of the windshield for that "classic look."

What are the gauges beside the cb???

So let me ask you guys, is it possible to get a glider in the 589, not the flat top? Or a rolling chassis?

What are the buttons and gauges by the CB radio

What do you guys think about putting window chops on ? I think it will look very nice

Ole Greg a hanging out in the background!

2:42 is that Greg As with Peterbilt in the background?

Have fun with chrome in the summer

Nice. What are the two gauges in the overhead dash panel next to the CB

Love this truck as well.

I like the quiet in the cab .

Other than the price the only thing I don’t like about this truck is the shape of the doors(windows). Other than that it’s a pretty nice looking truck and with me being 6’8” I really like the extra room.

Complaining about a truck being too comfortable is the most super trucker thing ever.

That Truck was sweet

Looks pretty decent done up

It looks great

Drove just about every kind of truck made was a Kenworth in a peach the Cavs are just too narrow not enough room that's exactly why I always stuck with Volvo or freight shakers comfort and room is what I desire in a truck

Is it for sale

Love it 👌

I love it the color is awesome

When are the genuine peterbilt interior accessories going to be available?

Question: what were the controls to the left of the CB?

hideous large front bumper. personally think covers on the front hubs look much better then the painted hubs. after all the awesome work they leave the clean air sticker on the driver door. I would bet that their has never been a citation given for that on a truck of that caliber.

AWESOME!!!
