Pete's Take
1989 Peterbilt Tow Truck: A Reliable Classic
This 1989 Peterbilt tow truck is a true workhorse that has served faithfully for over three decades. With an impressive 855 big cam and a fresh transmission installed just this year, this truck is still in service and ready to hit the road. Despite some rust, it's mechanically sound, boasting new rad bearings, main bearings, and oil pump replaced in 2024. The tires are in good shape with 85-90% tread left and all brakes are functioning well.
Strong Engine
The centerpiece of this vehicle is its powerful 855 big cam engine. This gives the Peterbilt a significant towing capacity, setting it apart from many other trucks on the market.
Recent Upgrades
Despite its age, this truck has benefited from recent upgrades. The brand-new transmission installed in January along with new clutch and flywheel ensure smooth operation.
Robust Service History
Having been owned by the same company for 15 years, there's an extensive service history available for this truck. This shows that it has been well maintained throughout its life and provides peace of mind for potential buyers.
Century 1040B Body
The body of the truck is a Century 1040B model which is known for its durability and reliability. It also had new cables installed in 2025 which further enhances its performance.
