The Peterbilt 389 "Phantom"

The Phantom Edition is a matte black, extended-frame Peterbilt 389 built for those who want power, stability, and presence. Featuring a custom 4-axle layout — one of which is liftable — this 8x6 setup delivers exceptional towing capability while maintaining that signature low, aggressive stance.

Optimized for highway and heavy-haul applications.
Avoid excessive weight directly over the axles — the lowered stance means the truck can bottom out on speed bumps under heavy load.
The fourth axle improves towing stability and load distribution, especially during steep pulls or when managing large trailers.
Design Philosophy
A blend of brute strength and stealth, the Phantom Edition stands out with its deep matte finish, elongated chassis, and precision-tuned drivetrain. Built for performance — and built to be noticed.
