The Peterbilt Model 589 isn't just a truck, it's a reward. It's the ultimate expression of power, performance, and efficiency, meticulously crafted for today's demanding professional.

  • A Legacy Redefined: The Model 589 seamlessly builds upon the iconic Model 389, preserving its timeless design while introducing groundbreaking innovations. The transition to a 2.1-meter platform enhances serviceability and opens doors to even greater performance.
  • Smarter. Tougher. Better. The Model 589 isn't just about prestige – it's about your bottom line. Best-in-class uptime, exceptional fuel efficiency, and superior ease of maintenance make it a smart investment that will keep you on the road and ahead of the competition.
  • Unmatched Comfort, Unwavering Performance: Experience industry-leading fit and finish that translates into a quiet, comfortable ride with minimal noise and vibration. Choose from a variety of configurations – On-Highway, Medium-Duty, Vocational, and Car Carrier – to find the perfect Model 589 for your specific needs.

Powerhouse Performance, Built to Last: The Model 589 Drivetrain

The Model 589 isn't just about muscle – it's about working smarter, not harder. Here's what sets it apart:

  • Engine Options for Every Job: Choose from the proven power of PACCAR MX-13 and Cummins X15 engines, paired with a range of heavy-duty transmissions to perfectly suit your application.
  • Effortless Efficiency: The enhanced air intake system, featuring lightweight aluminum tubing, optimizes airflow and engine performance while offering a choice of mechanical or electronic air restriction sensors for improved monitoring.
  • Cool Under Pressure: The advanced cooling system features a low-clog radiator core option to keep your engine running smoothly, even in the toughest conditions. Additional power steering and fuel coolers ensure peak performance across all components.

A Legacy Reborn: The Model 589's Timeless Design

The Model 589 isn't just a new truck; it's a tribute to Peterbilt's rich heritage. Here's how it honors the past while forging the future.

  • Classic Lines, Modern Muscle: The Model 589 captures the essence of the legendary Model 379 with its low-long hood, distinctive wraparound crown, triple grille bars, and imposing 15-inch air cleaners. The return of the rectangular grille mesh and headlamp pods further cements its connection to Peterbilt history.
  • Innovation Meets Efficiency: A new door skin with a horizontal line and custom beltline molding visually shortens the appearance of the taller 2.1-meter door structure. Multi-piece aluminum hood and fenders with classic Huck fasteners ensure easy serviceability.
  • Tailored Visibility: Choose from three lighting packages to perfectly match your needs, prioritizing features like inventory checks, maintenance access, fuel efficiency, or overall protection. West Coast-style mirrors with larger flat glass enhance your overall visibility for safer maneuvering.

Luxury Meets Functionality: The Model 589's Driver-Centric Interior

Step into the Model 589 and experience a workspace that seamlessly blends luxury with functionality. The moment you open the door, you're greeted by:

  • Rich Materials, Refined Design: Deep burlwood accents and a gleaming Peterbilt logo set the tone for a premium experience. Supple leather adorns the doors, steering wheel, and seats, creating a comfortable and stylish environment.
  • Technology Made Easy: Elegantly designed displays and controls are within easy reach, keeping everything you need at your fingertips. Spaciousness ensures driver comfort, while features like a pull-out writing table (on Premier and Platinum models) and oversized cup holders enhance convenience.
  • Enhanced Comfort and Access: The wider cab provides easier entry to the sleeper and comfortable three-person seating in the day cab. A two-inch lower cab height compared to previous models offers a more aggressive stance, improves driver entry/exit, and provides better clearance for over-cab bodies.
  • Quiet Confidence: Triple-sealed automotive-style doors ensure a quiet ride, effortless closing, and added security with power locks and windows. The low-long linear theme from the cab seamlessly flows into the sleeper, creating a wonderfully styled haven of comfort and luxury.
