This 2021 Peterbilt 579 is a used sewer truck — sometimes referred to as a vacuum truck or jet vac truck — designed for the collection, transport, and disposal of liquid waste, sewage, and debris from municipal and industrial drainage systems. Peterbilt is a well-established American commercial truck manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy-duty vocational and highway trucks across a wide range of industries, including waste management, construction, and utilities.
Power comes from a Paccar MX-13 engine rated at 405 horsepower, paired with an engine brake for enhanced descending and deceleration control, and a Paccar TX-12 automatic transmission for reliable, driver-friendly operation. The truck rides on air ride suspension and is fitted with a 20,000 lb front axle, giving it the structural capacity suited to the demands of sewer and vacuum work.
The sewer body has been newly fitted with a 4,000-gallon tank and a new NVE 866 pump rated at 520 CFM, providing strong vacuum capacity for efficient waste and liquid extraction. New tires and new brakes and drums have been installed throughout, and the truck is further equipped with aluminum hose trays, aluminum side protectors, and aluminum rims, keeping overall weight down while offering durability and a clean appearance.
At the time of listing, the truck is scheduled to visit the paint shop and is expected to be ready within two weeks. The seller has two identical units available at the same specification. This truck is located in Florida, USA, and is listed at $132,000.
