Peterbilt is an American truck manufacturer featured in American Truck Simulator. Peterbilt was one of the first two truck companies in the game, the other being Kenworth. It is also included in the 18 Wheels of Steel series under the name Pacific, since SCS Software did not have the license then for Peterbilt trucks.
Compared to other trucks, Peterbilt models are quite cheap, making them a good option for beginners buying their first truck.
The headquarters of Peterbilt are located in Denton, Texas. Peterbilt is owned by engine manufacturer Paccar, which also owns Kenworth in American Truck Simulator and DAF in Euro Truck Simulator 2.
Models[]
Peterbilt manufactures a wide variety of trucks in real life, but there are only two models in ATS, the 579 (and its Next Gen facelift model) and the 389, while in the 18 Wheels of Steel series there are seven models, all of which are unbranded.
