“The new Model 567 builds upon Peterbilt’s long history of providing customers with the most durable and reliable trucks that are designed to endure the harshest of vocational applications,” said Bill Kozek, Peterbilt General Manager and PACCAR Vice President. “From the 567’s rugged design and versatile configurations to its enhanced visibility and new spacious interior, this new model exceeds the demands of our customers’ unique vocational operating requirements.”

Quality & Durability

At the core of the 567 is the durable, new aluminum cab that is stronger for long-lasting endurance and comes standard to meet severe-service requirements. Strategically-placed steel reinforcements were designed to increase strength and optimize rigidity. The 567 cab endured rigorous testing at the PACCAR Technical Center in Mount Vernon, Washington.

“For additional strength and cab stability, steel upper A-pillars and rear corner reinforcements have been added,” said Landon Sproull, Peterbilt Chief Engineer. “The large cast aluminum front cab mounts distribute road stresses evenly, reducing road-induced wear and improving ride quality.”

In addition to cab durability, the signature stainless steel oval mesh grille and surround provide protection from gravel and road debris and bears the iconic Peterbilt styling. The new Metton ^® hood is highly resilient, absorbing many impacts that would shatter or crack other materials. The hood pivot system has a protection feature that directs energy around the cooling module in the event of an impact.

Visibility Enhancements

The outstanding forward lighting system on the Model 567 is a proven design that significantly enhances down-road visibility and reduces driver fatigue. The headlamps feature projector module low beams, which have a 2,000 hour lifecycle, and complex reflector high beams. Peterbilt’s signature pod-mounted design helps protect the headlight from potential damage to the fender, common occurrences on congested jobsites.
