2026 Peterbilt 567 is about to steal the show. This bad boy from Peterbilt isn’t just another semi—it’s like the penthouse suite of trucks, built for drivers who want luxury without skimping on muscle. We got our hands on some early peeks, and let me tell you, it’s got that classic Peterbilt swagger with a modern twist. Let’s dive in and see why this could be the crown jewel of American trucking.
First Glance
Pull up to a truck stop in the 2026 567, and folks are gonna stare. Peterbilt kept the iconic shark-nose front but smoothed it out with sleek LED headlights that slice through fog like butter. The chrome accents? Over the top, in the best way—think polished bumpers and grill that shine brighter than a Vegas sign. Inside the cab, it’s a whole different world. High-back seats wrapped in premium leather, woodgrain dashes, and enough space to stretch out like you’re in a king-size bed. No more sore backs on those cross-country runs. It’s got that rugged American vibe, but with touches that say, “Hey, I deserve this.”
Engine
Under the hood—or should I say, the massive sleeper—sits a beast of an engine. The PACCAR MX-13 kicks out up to 510 horses and 1,850 pounds of torque. That’s enough grunt to tow a small town uphill without breaking a sweat. Paired with a 12-speed Eaton automated transmission, shifting feels smoother than your grandma’s apple pie recipe. And get this: it’s got adaptive cruise that learns your style, so you’re not wrestling gears on I-80. Fuel efficiency? We’re talking around 7-8 MPG loaded, depending on the load and wind—solid for a rig this size. Peterbilt says real-world tests show it sipping less than older models, thanks to aero tweaks and low-rolling tires.
Smart Tech
Forget fumbling with knobs; the 567’s cockpit is wired for the 21st century. A 15-inch touchscreen runs everything from nav to Netflix—yeah, you read that right, entertainment on the go. Collision mitigation scans the road ahead, braking if some fool cuts you off. There’s even over-the-air updates, so your truck gets smarter without a trip to the dealer. Voice commands handle the radio or AC, leaving your hands free for that double espresso. It’s not full self-driving, but dang close—perfect for those bleary-eyed dawn starts.
Mileage and Price
On mileage, expect 6.5 MPG empty and up to 8.5 loaded on flats, per early EPA sims. Wind and hills knock it down, but regen braking helps claw back some juice. As for the sticker shock: base models start at about $180,000, climbing to $220,000 tricked out with the deluxe sleeper and tech pack. Yeah, it’s a chunk of change, but factor in the downtime you’ll save and the comfort that keeps drivers happy—it’s an investment that pays off in routes logged and backs un-broken.
