Peterbilt 587

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The Peterbilt 587 is a wide-cab aerodynamic highway tractor that Peterbilt introduced in 2010 as the successor of the 1999 Model 387. It was the first Peterbilt with a 5 in its model designation and shared its cab structure with the Kenworth T700, while taking a sharper-edged hood from its predecessor for better aerodynamics, forward visibility and lighting. When the Model 579 arrived in 2012 and took over as the aerodynamic flagship, the 587 stayed in production alongside it.
