The Peterbilt 389 has long been the truck of choice for owner-operators who demand premium styling, comfort, and reliability. We recently sold a 2023 Peterbilt 389 Long Hauler and caught up with the customer for an in-depth review.
Driver Comfort and Cab Design
The 80-inch sleeper cab is hands-down one of the most comfortable on the road. Premium upholstery, ample storage, and thoughtful ergonomics make long hauls feel less grueling. The new dashboard layout puts critical controls within easy reach.
Performance and Drivetrain
Equipped with a PACCAR MX-13 engine and 18-speed Eaton Fuller manual transmission, this truck delivers smooth, predictable power across all driving conditions. Fuel economy has been excellent so far, averaging just over 7 miles per gallon on mixed routes.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for a truck that combines classic Peterbilt style with modern reliability, the 389 Long Hauler is hard to beat. Stop by our dealership to see what we have in stock.
