Скачать или смотреть American Truck vs Narrow UK Roads – Peterbilt 379! | Tyrrell's Classic Workshop

The Peterbilt 379 is an unmistakable icon of American trucking, but it’s certainly not a common sight on British roads. In this video, Iain gets behind the wheel of this imposing machine to see how it copes with the tighter, more winding roads of the UK. With its long nose, towering exhaust stacks, and an engine built for hauling heavy loads across vast distances, the 379 is a stark contrast to the more “compact” lorries typically found on this side of the Atlantic. It’s an opportunity to experience a very different approach to truck design and to appreciate the sheer presence of this classic American workhorse.

Taking the Peterbilt out on the road highlights just how different it is from European trucks, not just in size but in the way it drives and feels. From the deep rumble of the Cummins diesel engine to the long-throw gear shifts, it’s a unique experience that offers a glimpse into the world of American trucking. Whether you're a fan of big rigs or simply curious to see how such a machine handles the challenges of UK roads, this road test provides a fascinating look at an unusual visitor to Britain's B-roads.

Update: It has now been sold.
