389

The chrome king. The owner-operator icon.

The Model 389 was Peterbilt's flagship long-hood conventional and a premium throwback prized by owner-operators, famous for the longest, lowest hood the brand ever built. Peterbilt produced the final 389 in 2024, ending the 359/379/389 family's roughly 57-year run and retiring the 300-series lineage; the new Model 589 took over its mantle.
