AFTERSALE SUPPORT
Dealer Network Ready for the Model 579
Peterbilt customers know it’s not just trucks
that have helped bestow “legend” status on
the famous red oval. It’s unparalleled, coastto-coast
customer support as well.
Now at more than 250 locations throughout the
United States and Canada, the Peterbilt dealer network
remains tirelessly dedicated to the needs of its customers,
whether it be sales, service, parts or financing. And the
dealer network is uniquely prepared to support the new
Peterbilt Model 579, according to Peterbilt General
Manager Bill Kozek.
“Peterbilt has committed extensive resources to not only
engineering, perfecting and introducing the innovative
Model 579, but ensuring that the infrastructure exists to
support its seamless integration into our customers’ fleets,”
says Kozek.
“You’ll find our sales representatives are wellschooled
in the features of this exciting new truck, and
how they can specifically benefit your application and
operation. Our parts departments are — as always —
properly and extensively resourced to meet all of your
needs, and dealership personnel can help direct you to
attractive financing options that are available through
PACCAR Financial.
“And should service be necessary, rest assured that
our factory-trained, certified service technicians have
been trained extensively in the numerous technological
advancements that lay the foundation for the
Model 579.”
Kozek notes that a corollary exists in matching premium
customer service with premium products, as both
Models 587 and 210 were recently recognized as
American Truck Dealers Commercial Truck of the Year.
“Much as we build a truck, Peterbilt is uncompromising
in customer support and service. We not only build a
great product — we support it as well.” FC
Watson & Chalin has two new additions to its popular, steerable Tru-Track Alumilite family.
Joining the SL-1190 13.5K, are the SL-0893 8K and the SL-2055 20K.
Whether you’re looking for an 8K, 13.5K or 20K steerable
lift axle – Watson and Chalin has the right one for you!
Peterbilt installs all three of these steerable lift axles, depending
on your vocational application and capacity needs.
The new SL-0893 8K lift axle design, enhanced over our SL-0851
configuration, is the industry’s first 8,000 pound capacity lift
axle designed to maximize your payload under federal bridge
applications. The new SL-0893 designed with premium rubber
bushings and unique ride height adjustment promotes reduced
weight, improved durability and lower maintenance; all this
including a stronger warranty.
The new SL-2055 20K sets the standard for a high capacity
steerable lift axle. This 20,000 pound capacity lift axle incorporates
a fabricated axle beam promoting reduced weight and
rugged durability; weighing almost 200 pounds less than the
current suspension. In addition, a full 25 degrees of wheel-cut
and our unique ride-height adjustment feature are integrated
into the SL-2055 design.
