Very misleading. The engines are not assembled in the truck assembly palnt. Thats just one of the misconceptions I saw here.

[@BigRockyD]

Real talk though this was beautiful. An American plant just showing you their day. Back when we all had hours to work and no one was scared to be near each other. God bless all my fellow blue collar workers just clocking in to make that living. It’s not glamour, but it’s pure pride.

Will Kenworth allow a customer to purchase a truck directly from the manufacturer and watch his/her truck being built from scratch? Love seeing all races and both genders working together. My kinda place!!!

[@twisties12345]

The trucks are purchased through the dealer organization but you can get a plant tour scheduled to meet the timing of your chassis being on the line. you can pick which assy procedure you would like to see, as in engine going in or cab being placed...

Paccar engines are not well received in the trucking community. I am looking at purchasing a Kenworth T680 in the near future, and everyone has told me don't buy one with a Paccar engine.

[@elpusegato]

@@lucasw2880 WHY. T680 is straight garbage. Buy a fucking Cascadia

[@Deleteguest]

@@elpusegato as someone who is in a lease with 2019 T680 with the shitty paccar, privately contracting to do a local route for a customer, and having my truck break down. They let me use their 2020 Cascadia. I can tell you right now that it just straight up pissed me off. Literally EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of that Cascadia was INFINITELY better than the t680. The only thing I liked better about the T680 compared to the cascadia was the fucking badge on the steering wheel. LMAO. Everything from engine noise, to exhaust brake noise, to suspension comfort, to power, to acceleration, to the transmission and the programming, it skips gears to accelerate more efficiently, as opposed to my t680 which will start out in 2-4th gear, and go through every single gear to get to 12 bobtailing. To the fact that the cascadia steering wheel actually has finger grooves in it, as opposed to my T680 that only has 127k on it and the steering wheel is basically a fucking PVC pipe at this point. If it's not humid and sticky outside, the only grip you have on the steering wheel is the amount of pressure you're squeezing the steering wheel with. Fact of the matter is, freightliner throws all of their money into R&D for their cascadias, but for Kenworth, shorthood trucks are a complete after thought for them and MAN... driving both of those trucks back to back REALLY showed that fact.

[@robertdassance4156]

Work on one pacar engine, or attempt to. Then you won't be a fan. POS. In fact Pacers own recommendation to our shop trying to repair for compression in cooling system, was to replace engine with Cummins isx.

I’ve been driving trucks over forty years. I’d take a 70s or 80s truck any day over this new stuff. Back then trucks were built way better, and they were built to last. Today’s trucks are a lot of plastic and they don’t last anywhere near as long. There’s a reason why saving those old trucks is so popular today, something that will never happen with this new stuff.

At one time trucks were something to dream about. Now they're just throw away pieces junk that will be in the junk yard long before they should be thanks to the trash at the epa.

[@DillonV]

I’m not so sure that’s true, I work on HD Cummins engines everyday the engines are as reliable as ever all the “EPA components” are just that components that’s like saying if you got a flat tire you’d have to throw the whole car away. The EGR systems require a little more work now but with regular cleaning intervals they’ll be fine as well. The DPF’s DEF equipment is among the least reliable but I don’t understand how anyone would justify throwing an entire truck away for a bad part

[@bradleyselk9642]

@@DillonV I own 75 trucks and lease another 260. All my trucks are pre emmisions the rest are newer model trucks with all the stuff on them. 90% of my break dows are emmisions related. Had a sensor in a 2019 cascadia go out on a driver a few weeks ago and his truck drated in a bad rain storm on a road with no shoulder and he was rear ended by a log truck. He wasn't out of def but the truck said he was. I rarely have any issues out of my older trucks the newest one is a 04 379 with a 6nz cat. Eventually my plan is to run nothing but old iron and get away from leasing all together. These new trucks are too much of a headache and are starting to cost me more money then they make. Get me an emmisions truck that can run a million miles without any major issues then we'll talk but until then I'll stick to trucks that actually make me money.
