Product Description
FOR SALE: 2020 PETERBILT 579 – TANDEM AXLE SLEEPER TRACTOR (455 HP PACCAR DIESEL, 12-SPEED AUTOMATIC, DOUBLE BUNK HIGH ROOF SLEEPER)
The 2020 Peterbilt 579 is a well-equipped Class 8 sleeper tractor designed for long-haul trucking companies, owner-operators, freight carriers, and fleet operators seeking a dependable and comfortable highway tractor. Known for its aerodynamic design, spacious interior, and driver-focused engineering, the Peterbilt 579 provides an excellent combination of highway performance, fuel efficiency, and comfort for demanding over-the-road transportation applications.
One of the most attractive features of this truck is its high-roof sleeper cab with a double-bunk configuration, providing comfortable accommodations for extended trips and team-driving operations. The spacious sleeper arrangement offers dedicated resting areas for drivers spending multiple days on the road, while the high-rise design provides additional interior headroom and a more comfortable living environment. The cab is equipped with air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, and power locks, offering the convenience expected from a modern highway tractor.
Powered by a PACCAR 12.9L turbo diesel engine producing 455 horsepower and paired with a PACCAR 12-speed automated transmission, this Peterbilt delivers the power and versatility required for interstate freight transportation. The automated transmission provides smooth shifting and reduces driver fatigue during extended highway operation, while the engine brake offers additional control when descending grades or operating with heavy loads. The combination makes this tractor particularly suitable for dry van, refrigerated, flatbed, and other conventional semi-trailer applications.
The truck features a heavy-duty 6x4 tandem-axle configuration with air-ride suspension, providing improved ride comfort and stability during highway travel. Aluminum wheels contribute to its professional appearance, while air disc brakes offer dependable stopping performance. Additional features include a differential lock and Bendix collision mitigation technology, providing enhanced traction and driver-assistance capabilities during everyday operation.
This is an exceptionally clean truck, both inside and out, offering an attractive opportunity for an owner-operator or transportation company looking for a well-equipped sleeper tractor without the expense of purchasing new equipment. Its combination of PACCAR diesel power, 12-speed automated transmission, double-bunk high-roof sleeper, air-ride suspension, and modern safety technology makes it a practical addition to any commercial trucking operation. The truck is described as ready to go to work.
