Legendary Class
Often imitated, never equaled, the Peterbilt Model 379 is a legendary symbol of trucking. It is the truck that defines classic long-nose conventional styling, and continues to take it to new levels of comfort, performance and reliability.
From its aircraft-grade huckbolts - providing six times the strength of rivets - to its aluminum hood and stainless steel grille, the Model 379 is, above all, a driver's truck. The Model 379 can be equipped from the widest range of engines available - up to 600 HP - and a variety of Peterbilt's proprietary suspension systems, so it can be easily configured to meet the demands of virtually any job and the hauling requirements of most any application. The wheelbase can be adjusted in one-inch increments and six different frame rails are offered to custom match strength-to-weight requirements.
The versatility of the Model 379 allows it to be offered in both truck and tractor configurations, and as a day cab or with optional sleepers. Additionally, sleepers can be removed and a back wall kit installed, creating a day cab configuration for a second life in a new application.
Designed to improve both comfort and productivity, Peterbilt sleepers are available in lengths from 36 inches up to 70 inches, including the most luxurious sleeper on the road today, Peterbilt's UltraSleeper. Peterbilt's sleepers are exceptionally quiet and smooth riding due to its patented Unibilt® Cab Sleeper System. This system secures the cab and sleeper into a single structural unit that provides great interior room while minimizing pitching motion and dampening bumps, creating an incredibly smooth ride.
In short, you get the best of all worlds with the Peterbilt Model 379: classic styling along with a productive, highly refined balance of performance and reliability. Few brands evoke more pride than Peterbilt's Model 379, it's the truck of choice for owner/operators, as well as fleets concerned with image and driver retention. And when you add Peterbilt's legendary reliability and resale value, you've got uncompromising value.
