DENTON, Tex. — In celebration of the 250th birthday of the United States (the semiquincentennial, if you want to be technical), Peterbilt Motors Co. introduces the limited-edition Freedom 250 Special Edition Model 589.
With only 250 units available, this exclusive model combines striking patriotic design with legendary performance, making it both a collector’s item and a bold statement of Peterbilt pride, according to a press release from Peterbilt.
Unique exterior details include a Stars & Stripes sleeper badge (available on 58-, 72- and 80-inch sleepers), Freedom 250 etched exhaust guards, Texas square bumper, and an exclusive Freedom 250 three-color paint scheme featuring Freedom Red and Freedom Blue metallic paint.
For the interior, buyers can choose either Sandstone or Alpine Gray Platinum trim levels. In addition, the interior features custom black-leather seats embroidered with the Freedom 250 logo in the headrest, as well as a Freedom 250 commemorative badge on the dash.
“The Freedom 250 Special Edition Model 589 is a tribute to the resilience and greatness of our nation and to the hardworking men and women who keep America moving every day,” said Erik Johnson, Peterbilt’s assistant general manager sales and marketing. “This truck delivers the superior quality and pride of ownership that Peterbilt customers expect, wrapped in a design that celebrates 250 years of freedom and the enduring Class of the open road.”
The Freedom 250 Special Edition Model 589 is available for order now exclusively through authorized Peterbilt dealerships through the end of the year.
