X factor Peterbilt
MODERN PETERBILT’S ARE A RARITY ON NEW ZEALAND roads. And new limited edition Model 389X will be a rare sight on North American highways as production is restricted to 1389 trucks.
The special edition 389X embodies the heritage of the Peterbilt 389 with its bold styling and bright exterior features. Features include a highly polished hood crown surrounding a classic-style, louvered grille sheet inspired by the first 1939 Peterbilt.
The hood features a brightly polished centreline trim, exclusive side-hood chrome accents and polished hood fenders. Other bright features include cowl skirts, battery box, fuel tanks, sun visor, bumper and 7-inch chrome exhaust stacks.
A distinguished exterior lighting package features LED amber colour light strips that provide stunning lighting in the air cleaners and under the rocker panels. In addition, the truck features 389X exterior badging on the mud flaps as well as on the cab or sleeper.
The interior is as bold as the exterior with dash panels featuring a new Black Pearl burl woodgrain and special black-finish trim accents can be found throughout the cab and sleeper.
Additional special features include bright chrome grab handles, a 389X emblem on the shifter plate, embroidered 389X badging on the headrests and badging on the sleeper backwall. Each 389X has a chrome dash plate with the production number of the truck to commemorate each special edition vehicle, as well as a kit of custom 389X merchandise.
“From its classic design and high-quality craftsmanship to its exclusive chrome elements and details both inside and out, the 389X will quickly become the most desirable truck on the road,” said Robert Woodall, assistant general manager of sales and marketing.
The Model 389X can be ordered as a day cab or in a 72- or 78-inch Sleeper configuration.
