Legendary Peterbilt 389 released for American Truck Simulator Recent trends in truck design strongly favor streamlined aerodynamic cab shapes, but with 389, we are talking about tradition; a real road legend here. For decades, long nosed trucks have been the very definition of an "American truck." Conventional cab with tons of chrome, big wheels, prominent exhaust pipes, bold box-like shapes... this beast makes it clear that it's about strength and endurance, a pure expression of free spirit on the road. Peterbilt 389 is a successor to Peterbilt 379, manufactured until 2007. Peterbilt 379 in turn replaced the iconic 359 in 1987. Peterbilt 359 one was first wide nosed big rig for Peterbilt, produced since 1967, and achieved extreme popularity. This tradition is still very much alive - while new trucks in the 3x9 line have introduced major technical improvements under the hood and greatly enhanced performance, truckers' aesthetic preferences have not changed as much. It's outward appearance is still mostly the same after almost five decades on the road! An interesting little fact about the new 389 is that it has the longest nose of all Peterbilt trucks ever. It is 131 inches (332,74 cm) long! One hell of a nose if you ask me! But surely an experienced truck driver will not have any problems maneuvering the vehicle through the challenges waiting for you in American Truck Simulator! See http://ift.tt/2f3P8Ob
