Peterbilt adds UltraLoft sleeper availability for its ‘workhorse’ truck
Peterbilt Motors Company recently made the Model 567 available in an UltraLoft sleeper configuration.
The 567, Peterbilt’s workhorse truck, can be spec’d for virtually any application, from vocational to on-highway and regional-haul configurations, the company said. With the addition of the UltraLoft sleeper, the model now offers a more spacious, integral sleeper option for customers who enjoy its signature pod-mounted headlamps, durable Metton hood and stainless-steel grille.
“The launch of the Model 567 UltraLoft is another example of Peterbilt’s drive to continually innovate our product line to deliver industry-leading comfort and performance for our customers and truck drivers alike,” said Jason Skoog, Peterbilt general manager and PACCAR vice president. “There is no question that 2021 has been the most exciting year for Peterbilt and our customers, with more new product hitting the road than ever before.”
By optimizing the space available, the UltraLoft sleeper includes extra storage and comfort, including 8 feet of headroom and 70 cubic feet of overall storage. The UltraLoft also gives drivers the largest upper and lower bunk mattresses, best-in-class headroom in both bunks and creature comforts of home, with space to accommodate the industry’s largest microwave and enough room to fit a 32-inch flat screen TV, Peterbilt added.
Interior updates to the 567 are highlighted by the 15-inch digital display with a fully customizable user interface that delivers easy-to read information and full PTO integration, so operators can fine-tune the digital display information to suit their individual preferences. Additional new driver comforts found inside including more cabin storage, two permanent cup holders and options for 12-volt or USB charging ports.
The 567 is available with the latest advanced driver assistance systems fully integrated into the digital display, including lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control with auto resume, speed-sign recognition, side-object detection, safety-direct integration, multi-lane emergency braking, and highway-departure detection.
