379x

The 379x is a relative new addition to the Peterbilt lineup. The 379x made its debut in the 2002 Midwest Truck Show, with the first 379x rolling off of the assembly line in October, 2003. Even though this truck is now in production, information and specs are still fairly vague. When detailed information is released, you will see it here first. Since the 379x is a spinoff from the 379, many of the drivetrain components should be the same.
