Peterbilt Model 548
The medium-duty Peterbilt Model 548 is built to take on tough vocational jobs. Combining rugged durability with impressive versatility, the Model 548 is designed for seamless body integration, thanks to its advanced VMUX multiplex electrical system. A wide range of configurable options—including roof height, hood length, and suspension choices — lets you spec the Model 548 for your unique application.
The Peterbilt 548’s rugged construction includes a lightweight, all-aluminum, corrosion-resistant cab with hood and chassis components engineered for added strength. An aerodynamic, sloped, three-piece hood enhances visibility and maneuverability, while new LED headlights provide clear, confident navigation in all conditions. Inside the cab, the Model 548 is quiet and comfortable, with a customizable dash design for an unrivaled driving experience. PACCAR’s TX-8 automatic transmission under the hood delivers a best-in-class power-to-weight ratio, with up to 5% fuel savings compared to comparable transmissions. The Model 548 comes with medium-duty and heavy-duty powertrain options, including the PACCAR PX-7 or PX-9 diesel engine, as well as the Cummins L9N natural gas engine for cleaner operation.
