1999-2010
The Peterbilt 387 is a Class 8 aerodynamic sleeper truck, produced from 2000 to around 2010. It was Peterbilt’s first full "wide-body" aerodynamic model and was developed alongside the Kenworth T2000 to maximize fuel economy and driver comfort in long-haul applications. The 387 was later succeeded by the Peterbilt 587.
The Peterbilt 387 was designed primarily for:
- Long-haul freight
- Over-the-road (OTR) dry van and reefer
- Fleet and owner-operator operations
- Team driving and high-mileage applications
With its large sleeper cab and integrated aerodynamic fairings, the 387 was a favorite among drivers who logged long hours on interstate routes.
Cab Type
- Cab Style: Wide-body aerodynamic cab
- Cab Width: 2.1 meters (83 inches)
- Available in:
- Raised roof sleeper
- Mid-roof sleeper
- Shares cab structure with the Kenworth T2000 and later Peterbilt 587
Aftermarket Seat Compatibility
Because of its wide-body cab, the Peterbilt 387 requires attention to seat width and bolt pattern.
The seat bolt pattern is the standard wide-cab pattern: 4.68" x 12" (standard pattern, not vocational offset)
Most aftermarket seats will bolt in directly.
Note: While the bolt pattern is compatible, some seats may require a spacer or adaptor to align with electronics or air line routing, especially if the original seat had integrated sensors or power functions.
Installation Notes
- No adaptor typically required
- Watch clearance in mid-roof sleepers for taller seats
- Be mindful of any factory wiring or sensors on ISRI/OEM seats
- The 2.1m cab allows for wider seat cushions (22"+ is fine)
