2021 Peterbilt 567 Heavy Truck

Feb. 25, 2021

The 2021 updates to Peterbilt model 567 heavy truck include improvements in the VMUX electrical system to deliver enhanced functionality and seamless integration with many different types of bodies for vocational customer applications.

The Model 567 pairs either the 2021 Paccar MX-13 or MX-11 engines with Paccar transmission for a 2-percent improvement in fuel efficiency, the company says.

Exterior updates include a cab-mounted side mirror and increased DEF tank volume. On the inside, the Model 567 features a 15-inch digital display that has a fully customizable user interface that delivers easy-to read information and full PTO integration. Operators can fine-tune the display information to suit their individual preferences. New driver comforts include additional cabin storage, two permanent cup holders, and options for 12V or USB charging ports.

Safety systems fully integrated into the digital display include lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control with auto resume, speed sign recognition, side objection detection, safety direct integration, multi-lane emergency braking, and highway departure detection.

More than half of all heavy trucks now in use are more than 10 years old, according to industry estimates, so their diesels lack pollution controls used in modern trucks. Operators keep the old, reliable vehicles because they can’t or won’t spend money on expensive new equipment.
