Peterbilt to Produce Pride & Class Model 389

Nov. 7, 2014

Peterbilt will produce a special edition Pride & Class Model 389 truck for North America.

“The new Model 389 Pride & Class embodies that spirit of bold design and legendary craftsmanship,” said Darrin Siver, Peterbilt General Manager and PACCAR Vice President. “Stylistically, this truck deserves a place on a pedestal or in a museum, but it is every bit the workhorse that customers expect from a Peterbilt.

The Pride & Class edition features numerous bright exterior accessories and interior accents, and insignias identify the Model 389 as an exclusive Pride & Class edition.

“The Pride & Class edition appeals to all truck owners who take pride in their vehicles and want to make a lasting impression,” Siver said.

Pride & Class exterior features are from the bloodlines of iconic Peterbilts, the company says, and include:

  • A louvered grille design reminiscent of Peterbilt’s Model 351 (first manufactured in 1954) and manufactured from durable polished steel
  • A highly polished hood crown
  • A brightly polished hood spine
  • Polished metal hood air intake vents fashioned in the style of the original 1939’s egg crate grille pattern and integrated with the Peterbilt logo
  • Bright metal front fenders evocative of the Model 379X
  • Large polished exterior sun visor, bumper and exhaust stacks
  • Polished rocker panels complementing the bright cowl skirts, battery box, fuel tanks and trimmed mud flaps.

The Model 389 Pride & Class edition is standard with Peterbilt’s Platinum interior with features such as:

  • Arctic gray color complemented by a charcoal dash top
  • Blackwood trim accents throughout, including the dash, door pads and sleeper cabinets
  • Chrome door handles, bright-bezel gauges and a special four-spoke metal steering wheel with leather wrap
  • Bright shifter plate with Pride & Class logo and a Blackwood shifter knob
  • Premium black leather seats with the Pride & Class emblem embroidered in the headrests
  • Thick black carpeting throughout the cab and sleeper.

The Model 389 Pride & Class edition can be ordered as a day cab or with a 72- or 78-inch sleeper.

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.”
