Peterbilt 359(I considered that it might've been a 379, but those round quad headlights kept giving me doubts). -- Last edit: 2008-11-27 20:43:44 |

It's a 1984 Peterbilt 359, Cause in Special Features under the making of Joy Ride 2 Dead Ahead: when they were talking about the Car flip "the end of the car and Kayla" They say that they were using a 1971 Chevy Chevelle attached to a 1984 Peterbilt 359 Tractor I think one of the Producers say that and If you look the Breathers are painted with the with kinda a chrome V-top if look on the chrome tops they have 3 rings around them each are more wider than the others and the Double Bunk didn't Come out until 1982 For Peterbilts but they had a small breather on the drivers side kinda like Duel's Peterbilt 281 1983 is when they started the big breather and in 1983 you still had a choice for the small breather |

wasserspeier, If you look at the 4th picture on the back side of it going down the cliff you can see it's a different truck just look at the stacks, Motor's Missing and alot more different than the main one if you look closely I think the one that wnt down the cliff actually I think the one that went off the cliff was one that was bought for Joy Ride 1 but never featured in it If I am right "not sure though" the one that went off the cliff was an 1983 Peterbilt 359 But the one featured on the top in the picture is the 1984 |

I actually think this truck is a 359 EXHD Cause it looks like to me this Peterbilt has an Extended Hood |

When going down the cliff, look at the backaxles. They look so spread or is it just me...? |
◊ 2010-06-06 05:49 |
they do actually look spread and look at the stacks too, there different and the truck that goes down a cliff is missing an engine, this is truck is also a 1984 Peterbilt 359 EXHD, the truck is an extended hood like the truck in the first movie too |

That had to be one of the greatest posting wars I've ever scene!!!!!!!!!!! |
◊ 2011-09-07 03:46 |
It is.............. |

It is a 1984 Peterbilt 359 Extended hood, 63" Sleeper, and probably a 250" wheelbase. You can tell by how straight the hood is, the headlights, and the breathers. Also the cab is narrower than a 379. And you could definitely tell if it was a short hood, they are very short. That hood is 127" and a short hood is 119". Big difference. |

The first Joy Ride's main truck was a 1985 Peterbilt 359. The one used here was a 1984 Peterbilt 359 EXHD. Joy Ride 3 used a 1976 Peterbilt 359 EXHD. -- Last edit: 2022-08-13 05:23:00 |

The truck in the second film is a 1984 Peterbilt 359 EXHD as Bray7 just above me had stated they even say it on the dvd bonus features of the film of when behind the scene's of when they destroy the Chavelle and talking about how they filmed that stunt Also I had posted documents under the truck from the first film that the truck when the truck from the first film was for sale confirming that the truck in this film is indeed a 1984 Peterbilt 359 EXHD if anyone wants to go see that post |
