Peterbilt offers all-wheel drive for Model 567

An all-wheel drive option is now available on the Peterbilt Model 567. The addition of the option gives customers the ability to more easily move the vocational vehicle around difficult terrain, the company noted. “The Model 567 was engineered to be a rugged, durable workhorse and we continue to expand its capabilities through new features and configurations to meet customer needs and exceed their expectations,” said Robert Woodall, Peterbilt assistant general manager of sales and marketing. “The new all-wheel drive Model 567 will help customers go off-road in tough conditions with ample traction, power and maneuverability they can rely on.” All-wheel drive is available for the Model 567 in a set-back front axle configuration. It includes the Marmon-Herrington MT-22H front drive axle rated at 22,000 lbs. and the Dana Spicer DS4636 drive axle rated at 46,000 lbs. It can be ordered with a range of auxiliary components, including transfer cases, to meet the full array of customer needs. Or, if customers prefer, the drive axle can be used in place of the transfer case. The all-wheel drive Model 567 is now available for order and will go into production in April.
