Built around Peterbilt's signature all-aluminum cab, the 348 is lightweight yet strong for maximum durability. Huck-bolted with lap seam construction, it offers years of virtually watertight performance. The durable MettonĀ® hood is optimized for road and construction sites, withstanding impacts that would shatter or crack other materials. From construction and crane service to utility and delivery services in both Class 7 and Class 8 markets, the 348 is in a class by itself.
