Folks who deal everyday with products from Peterbilt Motors probably can keep up with changes in their model names. I don't so I can't, but now I know what a Model 567 is: basically, the builder's latest vocational truck that will eventually replace the 367. We could also look at it as a 367 with the wider Paccar cab that Pete numbers as "5." Commonality like this is creeping into heavy duty vehicles produced by Peterbilt and Kenworth, its corporate sister, but that doesn't mean they're identical. The two companies' heavies retain differences even as they're modernized and share more components. The 567 is an example: The 5-series aluminum cab shares a lot of structural, skin, window and door parts with that of Ken-worth's latest T series, including the new T880 we drove for Construction Equipment in June. Both cabs are 2.1 meters wide, or 8 inches more than the narrow cab on the 367. Dashboard structures are very similar, but some switches and controls are arranged differently, and the rear cab structures are set up differently.
