This 2017 Peterbilt 579 is a used flatbed truck — sometimes referred to as a platform truck — built for hauling freight, construction materials, machinery, and other oversized or heavy loads that require an open, unenclosed cargo deck. Peterbilt is a long-established American manufacturer of heavy-duty commercial trucks, supplying vehicles to the freight, logistics, construction, and industrial sectors across North America.
Power comes from a PACCAR MX-13 engine rated at 455 horsepower, a heavy-duty diesel unit commonly found in Class 8 long-haul and vocational applications. The truck is paired with an Eaton-Fuller RTL06913A manual 13-speed transmission, providing the driver with a wide spread of gear ratios suited to both highway running and loaded low-speed operation. The cargo area is configured as a fixed flatbed platform, meaning the deck is stationary rather than tipping or sliding, making it well suited to strapped or secured general freight and equipment transport.
Braking is handled by an air ABS system, providing reliable stopping performance with anti-lock functionality across the full brake circuit. The truck rides on 22.5-inch tires, a standard size for heavy commercial vehicles in this class. This unit is located in Quebec, Canada, and is offered in used condition at a price of $154,894 CAD.
