About the Peterbilt 567
The Peterbilt Model 567 is Peterbilt's purpose-built vocational truck, introduced in 2013. The 567 has a tall cab profile (similar to the Mack Granite or Western Star 49X) optimized for vocational driver visibility and crew comfort. The 567 is available in highway and vocational specifications — the same chassis is configured differently for dump, mixer, refuse, oilfield, or heavy-haul applications. Heavy-duty chassis options support up to 92,000 lb GVWR. Cummins X15 is the dominant engine in heavy-haul; PACCAR MX-13 is more common in dump/concrete applications.

Optional integrated PTO mounts for vocational bodies.
Generations and major changes
Market position and popularity
567 has captured significant share in vocational segments — particularly in concrete mixer, dump truck, and oil-field service. PACCAR's MX-13 engine has improved significantly since 2020, narrowing the gap with Cummins X15 in vocational applications. Used 567s hold value well due to strong demand from owner-operators in vocational segments.
Who buys this truck
Heavy-haul operators, oilfield service, premium dump/concrete contractors, logging operators, owner-operators in vocational segments.
Common problems and reliability notes
PACCAR MX-13 EGR cooler issues at high mileage (same as 579). Severe-duty chassis components wear with vocational use. DEF system in stop-and-go operations needs more frequent maintenance.
