Overview

This 2027 Peterbilt 567 conventional day cab is set up as a roll-off truck for refuse, scrap and recycling, spec'd for refuse and on-highway service. It carries a Galfab hoist with a Sarg Pioneer tarp system and a self-steering pusher axle. GVWR and GCW are both 80,000 lbs. It's finished in white Axalta two-stage paint over a black frame.

Engine & Drivetrain

It's powered by a Cummins X15 Production Series engine rated at 500 HP at 1,900 RPM and 1,850 lb-ft at 950 RPM, governed at 2,000 RPM. The engine is a 2026 model year with 2024 emissions and is CARB and EPA idling compliant. It has a Jacobs compression brake with controls on the right-hand steering column, engine protection shutdown, and a 12-pin remote PTO/throttle provision in the engine bay, with PTO maximum engine speed set at 1,400 RPM. Maximum accelerator and cruise control speeds are set at 68 MPH, and typical operating speed is 65 MPH. The powertrain is optimized for performance in vocational and heavy-GCW applications.

The engine is backed by an Allison 4500 RDS-P Gen 6 Rugged Duty Series automatic in a 6-speed configuration. It has a TC-541 torque converter, a dash-mounted push-button shifter, neutral at stop, and primary shift schedule 2. Power goes through an SPL170 HD-XL driveline with two midship bearings and an SPL170 XL interaxle driveline, both service-free. The rear axle ratio is 4.30.

Supporting equipment includes a PACCAR 160-amp brushed alternator, a PACCAR 12V starter, and three PACCAR Premium 12V dual-purpose batteries totaling 2,190 CCA. The electrical system also has a Kissling 300A cab power disconnect switch, low-voltage disconnect, battery jumper terminal and a 110–120V immersion block heater. Other engine equipment includes an 18.7 CFM air compressor and a 2-speed fan clutch for frequent start/stop work. The cooling system is high-efficiency, and the air cleaner is firewall-mounted. The PACCAR fuel/water separator has an extended service interval and 12V fuel filter heat. Exhaust is a single right-hand side-of-cab system with the DPF/SCR in a single module under the right side of the cab, finished with a 24" tall, 5" diameter chrome curved-tip standpipe with clear coat.

Chassis & Axles

Wheelbase is 279", with 90.10" from front axle to back of cab, 188.90" cab-to-axle and 263.90" cab-to-end-of-frame. The frame uses 10-3/4" steel rails at 3/8" thickness with a full steel inner liner. The rails are zinc-coated and anti-corrosion treated, with aluminum crossmembers, heavy-duty iron front spring brackets front and rear, and a square end of frame with a steel crossmember.

The front axle is a PACCAR FX-20 wide-track steer axle rated at 20,000 lbs with a 4" drop. It has TRW THP60 dual-gear power steering with a frame-mounted reservoir and cooler, PHP10 iron Preset+ hubs, and Meritor EX+L optimized air disc brakes. The disc brakes use severe-service rotors for refuse applications and pad dust shields.

The rear axle is a Dana Spicer D46-172 tandem rated at 46,000 lbs, with heavy-wall drive axles, a tandem differential lock with speed interlock, and synthetic lubricant in all axles. A Hendrickson EXS20 self-steering pusher rated at 20,000 lbs sits 52" from the centerline of the forward drive axle. It has its own air tank, PHP10 iron Preset+ hubs with cast drums, and a regulator and gauge with the switch at the left of the driver's seat and a gauge in the dash. The lifted axle stows higher for maximum ground clearance. GAWR is 20,000 lbs front, 20,000 lbs first intermediate, 23,000 lbs second intermediate and 23,000 lbs rear. The chassis is rated for a maximum grade of 6%.

The rear drum brakes are Meritor Q+ cam, 16.5" x 8.625". The steer and drive axles have refuse service brakes, and the rear has reinforced brake camshafts, gusseted cam brackets and upsized parking brakes. The system also has an SBM valve, pneumatic park brake, Bendix Smart ATC traction control, a 6S6M anti-lock braking system and tire pressure monitoring.
