Don’t forget the cost of maintenance that also atlesst doubled. The ones around us in Alabama are all $150 an hr. And these new trucks with all The newer, emission crap they spend their fair time in the shop!

Die selben Probleme wie in Deutschland

I certainly hope they plan on putting one on!

Thanks Johnnie I agree

Seminole Paint Scheme is ALWAYZ AWESOME

Thank you for a very honest answer!

In what way or what part, flat on top, flat at the back, flat across the bottom, angled corner is new, just looks like a door to me.....

The wide cab with the single windshield destroyed the classic look of the truck. I get it, there's hella room inside now but it doesn't look good. It looks cheap. My issue with the door is the window also. It's not square and it looks cheap. It looks like it came off a Freightliner. The whole thing looks more like a Western star. Just my opinion didn't mean to offend

@@SteveCarbone Mostly the handles. These outside handles wear so insanely fast. After about a hundred thousand thousand miles up to two hundred thousand, they especially feel insanely cheap.

@@UnduplicatableMy last 579 had 600k on it when it was sold and I had no issues with the door handles. My current 579 has 260k on it and no issues with the handles. My favorite part about the doors on the wide cab is that they actually seal up, to the point that cab has to be vented like a car so you cab close the doors.

@@bradj7900 Yup, I don’t mind the doors too much, and they seem to close nicer and are much quieter (block more noise) than with the 379/389 style doors. I haven’t been in a 589 yet, but I’m liking the appearance if I can get the customization I want. Those handles aren’t too bad, but I really like the older style external door handles of the 379 and 389 and wish I could keep that on the 579/589. I suppose the reason our handles are already junk is because these are company trucks used by multiple people and we work with harsh oxidizers and what-nots, too. They work fine, but they feel cheap and sometimes they’ll stick in the open position instead of closing. And when the chrome cover begins to wear off, it’s even more ugly. We work around fine grit and dust, along with oxidizers, but the old style handles all look much better and they’re older than our 579 handles. I prefer a metal handle over a plastic handle. Automatics in the old style cabs are AWFUL - they destroy your knees and have no space to move. I’d love to finance a 589 and find a company or more to run it with, but I’m not sure the insurance would be cheap enough for someone who’s almost 30 with only a couple years or so of commercial hazmat driving experience. Do you have any good news for someone like me in this position?

Those are vents for when you close the doors.

@@bradj7900 Ahh, thank you. I assume that they are one way vents in that case.

Thanks 👍

I order them that way, there is no such thing as a standard wheelbase. We pick every wheelbase for every truck we order.

I think so too!

Hinges

I think the DEF tank should be mounted forward of the driver side fuel tank that way both of the tanks line up with each other and the fuel tanks need to be positioned about 6 inches more to the rear that way the filler caps aren’t under the sleeper which would make it easier to fuel at those truck stops that have the long fuel hoses from one pump compared to those with satellite pumps Just a thought

About 300 more than a matching 389

Yea we’ve e had several 379’s. Still Have one. They all had air dumps over on the right side. Left to right toggle switches. Either above or below the inter axle diff. Lock. And 5th wheel air slide release. If u have one.

@@user-bo4jp4lk6l Yeah, I remember the three or four left to right toggle switches on the far right of the dash! Shiiit, I really wish my credit was still what it used to be. I need a truck bad!

She bad....

Good drivers get well in the 6's

Took a minute to get everything lined out to sell them so just really hitting the market today

And the front axle way more out front

flip flopers get on the road to make money not to take dogs for walks and throw money away on square hood fuel burning show offs

I concur I drove 2 389’s with those headlights and always had a hard time seeing the road if it was raining at night The turn signals in the fender bracket are a good idea If I was ordering one it would have to have the single square heated LED’s along with lollipop style turn signals on the fenders

Shut up!
