Peterbilt debuted its Model 567 Heritage two years ago as a modernized throwback to the working trucker and the truck has found a niche with fleets looking for a reward truck for their top drivers.
With its bling-heavy blocky exterior, the vocational workhorse blends classic Pete styling with modern comforts and efficiencies.
The exterior is a truck stop showstopper with subtle Heritage badging a much less subtle use of chrome. A chromed air intake bezel and hood latches; mirror-finish bright bright bumper, grille bars, exhaust stacks, mirrors and sun visor; and polished rocker panels, quarter-fender closeout panels, fender brace and brackets, battery boxes and fuel tanks give the truck a strikingly unique visual profile. Headlight pods make bulb replacement easier while also contributing to the classic look.
Inside, the truck features Heritage Brown interior with a black dash top and wood-finish trim, brown leather seats with accent stitching and door pads with brown wood trim.
The truck is configured with a 121-inch BBC set-forward front axle to optimize payloads and weight distribution and is available as a day-cab or with a 72- or 80-inch sleeper. Trucks equipped with a sleeper include wood trim accents on the sleeper cabinets and storage spaces. The limited-edition interior is rounded out with a two-tone sleeper back wall embroidered with the Heritage logo.
With its ultra-plush premium cabin, the Model 567 Heritage appeals heavily to drivers who want to play long-haul cowboy trucker but don’t want to sleep fireside in the tent.
From the outside the truck looks like a classic, but its smooth on-road mannerisms certainly don’t drive like one.
