Kenworth Trucks - Best Designs Ever Built (W900, T600, T660, T800, T2000)

[@mark32163]

I drive a 20 year old T800 and it is by far the most comfortable, smoothest riding and pleasurable truck to drive that I've ever been in.

[@Freyes2017]

Same here, 22 year old T600 N14, been my best truck.

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

Thanks for sharing!

[@brittoncoil2518]

The t600 and t2000 are my favorites

[@JamesTyreeII]

The tea 600 B arrow cab is my favorite, but I’m starting to really love the improvements made by the T6 60

[@Matty_Joe]

There is something I love about the look of 2003 Kenworth T-600.

[@graceypatrick]

I love semi trucks they are so cool and it amazes me how manufacturers make these big beats and improve trucks as time goes on just amazing

[@merceds4633]

I own a t800 and i love it,

[@graceypatrick]

I’ve been working on getting my cdl but I’m not sure if now is the best time to get it based on the rising fuel prices seems like a bad time to get into trucking

[@HunterPBrown]

My favorite? T680 NG. It's what I'm driving now.

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

Good one!

[@grantfahey4439]

To be fair, you can get a 680/mx13 with up to 505hp/1850lbft.

[@mobent912]

I had a 579 that was 510 hp 1850 MX13

[@graceypatrick]

Awesome video

[@SudburySaturdayNight1787]

A review on the W990 would be interesting.

[@joyona7430]

Thank you.

[@carlosvital5805]

My dream truck is t 600 elog exempt

[@miguelcastillo3712]

Truck I have now

[@jesusluna1377]

The only problem for the electric truck is range,is very embarrassing to get just 150 miles . until they figured out how to extend that range is a big no for fleets

[@604h22a]

Not really imagine all the city trucks puttering around wasting diesel. 150miles is way more than a lot of city fleets would need, wether it’s garbage/utility/p&d/equipment and car hauling etc etc.

[@dalehite4447]

​@@604h22a Most local semi trucks do 300 miles Straight truck might do 150 or less

[@paceta80]

I love KW's. My favorite is the W900L of course.

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

Classic!

[@crazycain1984]

My favorite HANDS DOWN is the T-600, & has been since my little obsession with semi trucks began at age 3. My mom even kept a drawing I did at 3 1/2 of 1 that's dated April 1988 & says "not bad for a 3 year old 😂 .. I like how it's conception & 1st rollout of was 84-85 beens i was born in 84 (So the t-6 & i are the same age) HA!.. After years of racing high-performance rc cars I finally got into Garden Trucking which is probably the most coolest & unique hobby out there if you're a harden big-rig fan like me. It's precision scale modeling where you build the truck from the ground up starting with a kit, then you can go from there. The possibilities are literally ENDLESS. They feature 3-speed manual transmissions that you shift via 3rd channel on the radio controller & have real Leaf-spring suspension & drive train. If you haven't heard of then you must check out. Only problem is they don't have kenworths, but that hasn't stopped people from constructing their own kenworth bodies like I'm doing. Nothings more BADASS than a decked out t-600 with 6" straight stacks mid body & 86" studio sleeper with a Great Dane. spread axle in tow.. I like how they've started going electric which the higher torque doesn't surprise me 1BIT cuz if you know anything about trains, the diesel locomotives pull 1000s of tons using traction motors on each axle with only 1:2 gearing. That's cuz electric motors (especially traction motors) are quite different, like when paring if you're converting a gas powered vehicle to electric if you have a 200hp gas engine, then you'll only require a 50hp electric motor. That's why I love electric (though many like to clown) they don't realize that those behemoths of the rails pulling a mile long 10.000 ton payload behind are electric powered.. The only difference is I would've done it in a hybrid setup. I've had designs of of simple electric hybrid that utilizes the transfer case & can go from diesel powered to electric with a flick of a switch. Something that could easily be sold as a simple add on. I got the idea years ago when checking out friends truck who hauled bulk lime for the water treatment plant & I couldn't figure out what the box between his trany & drive axles was till he told me it was a pump that he engaged with a switch. Thought it was pretty cool THAT'S WHEN LIGHT WENT OFF INSIDE 😂. Never hurts to have a gas backup. Best part is it don't even have to be connected to the drive train. It can work like a generator, so when maintenance is needed it can easily be removed for repairs

[@maryorr331]

My dad designed the T600A in 1986 And worked on T2000 Larry Orr

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

I would like to know who had the idea of that T2000. My least favorite Kenworth truck. One word….ugly!

[@maryorr331]

@@waynenorbreyjr9371 I don’t know. I know my dad worked on it but I don’t think he was as much a part of the R&D. He was the chief engineer for the T600. That’s all I know. I know the T2000 wasn’t his pride and joy. Since he was battling cancer he stepped back a bit for that model. T2000 wasn’t as pretty as the pervious.

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

@@maryorr331 I hope that your dad is doing well considering that he had to battle with Cancer.

[@Overlord3420]

He must’ve just made love before designing the T600 and then was drunk off his ass when doing the t2000 lol

[@Rayzor66]

My 1994 t600 is my favorite

[@graceypatrick]

Best trucking company

[@tba3900]

I think the Australian Kenworth”s are a nicer looking truck than the American versions. The COE K200 is definitely the best looking, in the entire range. the original SAR was also a star.

[@b-trucker7717]

😅them Australian kenworth look funny with them super small hoods and high ass cabs,only the Australian cabovers be looking nicer.

[@tba3900]

@@b-trucker7717 look at a C500 super huge bonneted monster.

[@dazac21]

Wheres is the T880? I own a 2018 880 and love the combination workhorse/ aerodynamics. I bought it after doing a ton of research your channel has been a big help with that. Saw one of your truck in joliet il at the loves today. Wish I saw the driver so I could have said hi.

[@jimboh8591]

150 mile range on electric truck? Wonder what the range would be in freezing weather with maxied out payload?

[@ComihcaL]

I’ve been drive a t660 for a few years now I love KW but I’m stuck between buying a t600 or t800

[@rockymartin2179]

very interesting. i like the idea of electric trucks.

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

[@gotruckyourself2976]

I like the 700 and the 680

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

Thanks for watching and sharing!

[@youth1121]

the t600b

[@The_One_Over_There]

i always kinda liked the T2000, But i see a lot of people disliking it. To each their own though. There is 1 thing about them that's for sure though, Regardless if one likes them or not, They always know exactly what it is when they see one. There's not really a truck out there that looks like it.

[@themartamationgartlowe4870]

Now the t680

[@TransImportcan]

w900 B all the way!!!

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

That's a top pick!

[@elchicanotrucks]

What about the T700

[@marthalopez4247]

the t 990

[@Restlessw900l]

W900L all the way

[@flogrown2857]

The T-660 was made until 2017 and in 2016 they offered a Cummins

Thanks for sharing!

[@markgregoryrugman7136]

I like the next generation kenworth t680 because again I do not think electric Semi truck are going to work in colder and harder conditions because one battery's dont work well in colder conditions and two you will have to replace the battery motor often and three there are more chemicals in a battery alone than the fuel efficient diesel engine trucks and four were are you going to deposit all the old battery's

[@ronaldkambeli1586]

W900

[@antonizvekov1]

My favorite Kenworth is Cascadia ;)

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

:D haha, good one!

[@inkognitou6982]

I'm owing a KW, and from time to time somebody asks -"Why you didn't buy a Cascadia or Volvo?" My answer is: -"I can't afford it ".

[@JayBando213]

W9

[@jonathanrabbitt]

I'd like a K200 Big Cab with a 600hp ISX or X15.

[@roadtrain5910]

really ? the k200 is a joke the k108 or 104 is better (no feet burns)

[@jairedheinrichs2295]

W900L

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

Good one!

[@trossk]

One thing that drive me bonkers, why are the front wheel wells so huge? The top of it is 2/3 of a whole tire but there's no way there's that much travel. Flatten those down. And get rid of the panel gaps,

[@mallrat1960]

W 900

[@allenmcswain5151]

Only 150 miles on a charge. Yea I don't see that as possible because you can go a little farther on diesel. And fill up in 10 mins vs 2 hrs to charge the electric truck.

[@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News]

You can get up to 500 miles on some models actually. Interesting stuff!

[@Riighthandtrucking]

They are nice trucks I like the w900 but still team freightliner

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

The T2000 has to be one of the ugliest Kenworth trucks ever. 👎to whoever approved that design.

[@JM-be1xm]

Peterbuilt 387 is ugly too, I don't get why people actually like them T600 FTW nicest trucks
