2024 Peterbilt 579

The most technologically advanced, fuel-efficient Peterbilt – ever

The Model 579’s features are the direct result of our customers’ input. We’ve considered the feedback of over 100 user tests and interviews with drivers, techs, and safety and maintenance managers in applications including over-the-road sleepers, LTL day cabs and vocational applications such as tankers and aggregate haulers.

The results add up to many technological advancements and a distinctively styled, super comfortable, sleeker, more aerodynamically and fuel-efficient Model 579. One that endured million-mile endurance tests and extensive field validation. No wonder it’s the most technologically advanced, fuel-efficient Peterbilt – ever.

Features may include:

Exterior
  • Aerodynamics enhance the efficiency

The Model 579 offers the most advanced aerodynamic features and packages to improve fuel economy

The bold grille and bumper maximize aerodynamic performance, while the lower-sitting front end enhances visibility of the ground in front of the truck

The new air dam below the bumper further improves aerodynamics without compromising ground clearance

Sculpted mirror heads and arms not only improve aerodynamic efficiency but also allow the driver to see the top of the trailer while backing up

Interior
  • All the comforts of home

The interior of the new Model 579 sleeper provides home-like comfort

The 80-inch UltraLoft sleeper offers 8 feet of headroom, 70 cu. ft. of storage and the largest mattresses in the industry

It can accommodate up to a 32-inch TV and a 1.1 cubic-foot microwave, both the largest in their class

In the double bunk configuration, a foldaway ladder conveniently disappears when not in use
