Southern Kentucky sunset backlights the 2500 HD which has just finished the first leg of a 740-mile outbound trip. Chromey nose belies the interior's Tradesman trim, which is basic but comfortable.

Blue HV615 has a setback steer axle, a longer hood housing an International S13 diesel and a bumper-to-back-of-cab dimension of 115 inches. Shorter yellow HV509, with a 109-inch BBC, has a Cummins L9 and a set-forward steer axle to support heavy snowplow equipment. Its flat-black grille suggests frugality but the truck has highly capable components and a stoutly engineered chassis.

Gray truck on a gray day, but a bright driving experience: 2021 Model 567 dump is ready to roll at Ohio Peterbilt. It has very low miles, the right specs for northeastern Ohio, and looks and performs like new. That makes it a compelling argument for buying “used.”

Model 589 daycab tractor in “legendary” red with a black band looks handsome and purposeful, but closely resembles previous models. That is exactly what customers said they wanted and what Peterbilt designers gave them. The main change is the 2.1-meter-wide aluminum cab that’s 8 inches broader than the cabin on the 389, which now is out of production. Like older “Petercars,” the 589 can be outfitted for highway and on/off-road vocational duties.
