Increasing profitability with the Kenworth K270 and K370

[@rickywhite5712]

Are the good on fuel

[@KenworthofRichfield]

They actually do really well on fuel! It's a pretty aerodynamic truck for its size.

[@RichardCrabbe403]

@@KenworthofRichfield care to share any numbers?

[@KenworthofRichfield]

@@RichardCrabbe403 It's really tough to put numbers to it as each application is very, very different in how it runs and where it works. So far, the ones that we have sold people have been happy with, and have noticed a positive change in their fuel bills.

[@RichardCrabbe403]

@@KenworthofRichfield thanks, kind of what I thought. Now if only there was a 4x4 option!

[@2Elusive.M5]

Its a daf LF

[@rickywhite5712]

Can you put cb radios in them

[@KenworthofRichfield]

Yes. Plenty of space in the overhead console

[@mattoates7636]

It's a DAF LF of course it's a good truck

[@hanly2]

I have a k370 with wipers that have the washer on the blade. I need new blades what is the part number?

[@KenworthofRichfield]

The washer fluid actually comes out of the arm and not the blade, so any 24" blade should work fine for you. There's nothing special about them. We would suggest spending the extra money for a good set though as it makes a huge difference!

[@blisslimoservice1732]

has your truck been reliable? im thinking about getting one instead of a freightliner. Will you trust this truck to do OTR shipments?

[@blisslimoservice1732]

yhinking about getting one this is from 2 years ago, we are in 2021 is it hard to find parts for kenworth thrucks?

[@idlesquirrel]

How much for just the truck chassis without the box on the back?

[@KenworthofRichfield]

Usually these are right around $50-60 depending on options if memory serves me correctly.

[@stevemarroquin9766]

The Horsebox variant would be nice

[@Mach_Style]

Are there any options to get this truck with an extended cab for use as a bunk much like the European models? Also can these trucks be spec'd to a full 40' flat bed? Im interested in looking into this idea. I like the cabover design as it would allow for maximum flatbed loading space at 40' compared to conventional trucks. Tho I would like to be able to sleep in the truck and thats why I wonder if there are extended cab models. last, what is the max power that the Px7 can put out? is the Px9 or cummins B6 or L9 offered in this truck?

[@KenworthofRichfield]

The max horsepower for this truck is 300. That's in large part due to the limited cooling surface area that is available with it. Unfortunately, we do not have a version of this truck available with a bunk at this time.

[@Mach_Style]

@@KenworthofRichfield I kinda wondered if cooling would be the issue on these. Thanks for the help! I hope Peterbilt and Kenworth further the development and adaptation of these cabovers. I feel like there could be a market for them. Least I know there would be with me!

[@KenworthofRichfield]

@@Mach_Style I think that they will keep moving them forward. I could see an update in the next few years for them also.

[@Mach_Style]

@@KenworthofRichfield I hope so. Who knows maybe you will be seeing me at the show room some time! You guys are very friendly and professional. I know my old company I worked for bought a ton of 6 and 7 axle dumps from you guys about 3 to 5 years ago. They have since moved to the new 567 but the trucks are still around with some pushing close to 400 to 500K miles now.

[@KenworthofRichfield]

@@Mach_Style I'll be here. Stop by and say hi!

[@F7Aengineer]

Is it a 5 speed or 6 speed also what is the comparison between this and the t270 as a box truck application

[@KenworthofRichfield]

I believe that it was a 5 speed. It really depends on your application as to what will be better. If you spend more time on the open road, the T270 is the way to go. If you spend a lot of time in the city, the K270

[@coe220pete9]

Nice truck, I really like it but parts not in stock and difficult to find. I own a 2007 Peterbilt 220, 269543 miles, my Vin number doesn't exist on the Peterbilt network. They always order wrong parts ant take 2 weeks to get them. My truck is useless since they don't have the right tools to work on it,

[@KenworthofRichfield]

Sorry to hear that. What area are you in? I'd love to have my parts department help, but there's a fair number of "pete only " parts that we can't get. I may suggest trying Youngstown Pete and working with AJ there. We've got a good relationship with them and he's a sharp guy.

[@coe220pete9]

My truck has been in the dealership Rush Truck Center in Houston Texas. It has been three for almost 3 weeks. They don't have the right tools to communicate with the truck computer.

[@coe220pete9]

Who's idea was to bring European truck and don't offer parts and service?

[@KenworthofRichfield]

@@coe220pete9 ugh. Sorry to hear that. :(

[@carmas54]

does it come in 4x4 or 6x6?

[@KenworthofRichfield]

Unfortunately, the K series trucks are not available with a front drive axle.

[@RichardCrabbe403]

Is there any plans to offer 4x4 as an option? If not, is there a conversion that you recommend over another?

[@lukaswonder6478]

Daf lf truck

[@KenworthofRichfield]

it's definitely close.

[@coe220pete9]
