579 Specs & Options to Prioritize

Spec Area Typical Options Why It Matters
Engines PACCAR MX-13/MX-11; some Cummins X15 Balance of torque, fuel efficiency, and service network
Transmissions Eaton UltraShift/Endurant AMT; 10/12-speed manuals AMT lowers fatigue in stop-and-go; manuals preferred by some drivers
Axle Ratios ~2.28–3.08 for highway lanes Match to cruise RPM for fuel savings and drivability
Sleeper & Cab Mid/raised-roof 72”+, bunk HVAC, storage Driver comfort = retention and safer, longer duty cycles
Safety Tech Collision mitigation, lane assist, adaptive cruise Fewer incidents and potential insurance benefits

Pre-Purchase Inspection Checklist (579 Focus)

  • Aftertreatment health: Scan for active codes; check DPF/DOC ash load, SCR/NOx sensors, regen history.

  • Fuel economy baseline: Confirm axle ratio vs tire size; verify cruise RPM at 100–105 km/h.

  • AMT specifics: Review clutch wear index, calibration history, software updates, and shift quality.

  • Cooling system: Pressure test, inspect charge-air cooler and hoses.

  • Suspension & brakes: Airbags, bushings, even lining thickness; slack adjusters within spec.

  • Electrical & sleeper: Battery load test, alternator output, bunk HVAC, moisture/seal integrity.

If you plan preventive work post-purchase, consider Truck Repair Financing to spread initial costs.

What Drives Price on a Used 579

  • Model year & emissions history (clean aftertreatment = fewer surprises)

  • Kilometres vs. hours (idling profile matters)

  • Service records (oil intervals, valve sets, DPF services)

  • Cab/sleeper spec & driver tech (comfort and safety packages)

  • Tires & brakes on delivery (credit for replacements or fresh components)

Case Study: Mississauga Carrier Adds a 579, Protects Liquidity

Profile: 8-truck GTA fleet; food-grade lanes GTA ↔ Midwest
Challenge: Add one 579 before peak season without tying up cash needed for fuel and drivers.
Approach: Compared 60-month loan vs 60-month lease with 10% buyout using the calculator. The lease reduced monthly obligations ~10–12% versus the loan. A small sale-leaseback on an older tractor funded day-one tires and a DPF service.
Outcome: Delivery in under two weeks, on-time tender wins, and no payroll pressure.
