American Movie Truck Drive
About this experience
Peterbilt was founded in 1939, producing serious American trucks. Your ride, the 379, was Peterbilt's flagship truck from 1987 until the 2007 model year, maintaining the nameplate's signature long-nose styling. Immortalised in some of Hollywood’s most exhilarating blockbusters, now you can take control of one of these amazing machines.
On your American Movie Truck driving session, you’ll be able to get behind the wheel and experience driving on the designated truck area. Channel your inner truck driver as you learn how to manouvre through a specially designed course of cones, including reserve challenges. A unique opportunity for any petrol-head or American truck enthusiast.

“An American truck experience! ”
This experience was a gift for my husband’s 40th birthday, despite covid we had a really great day out. All staff at the venue were friendly and helpful. The truck experience was amazing, we all got to ride in the truck and take lots of memorable photos!
