THE KING - 2025 Kenworth W900L Studio Sleeper - THE KENWORTH GUY

[@realcdcruze3558]

Love the new W900s. Peterbuilt made a big mistake with the requirement for the digital dash on the 389 and now 589. The digital dash can leave you stranded if faults. Keep it simple / keep it reliable.

[@AndyTheKenworthGuy]

Yup

[@bikersi9821]

Crikey Moses that’s sweet. This is my truck on ATS. ;-). I love how American trucks don’t even bother with aerodynamics. They just make beasts!!!

[@thegoat0611]

Glad to see Kenworth still making the W900L, Peterbilt on the other hand quits making the best trucks 379 exhd, and now the 389 is no more

[@dwjunior]

Andy, THIS is the epitome of World’s Greatest! IMO, this is the greatest 900 I’ve ever seen you cover. Unbelievable!! I’m in love 😍 ❤

[@AndyTheKenworthGuy]

Wow, thanks!

[@dwjunior]

I ❤ this truck!!

[@IndigenousAmericanTrucker]

That is a beautiful W900L Studio! I love everything about it except the missing couch! I love the herd bumper, too! That I one thing I'd love to have on a truck, especially here in Washington.D.C. where we get habitual brake-checkers. That's something very needed around here, so I can tear their asses up and have no damage, lol! I also love that VIT around the steering column, etc. That'll definitely help with hitting the knee when hopping in, lol! The truck is all out sexy! It has a full gauge package, no screens and digital dash, which I hate. The only thing I've never heard of is that mid-frame marker light. I wonder what's the purpose? I was also surprised that it didn't have airbags on the steers. I'm so used to seeing it on newer trucks now. Nonetheless, good job!

[@M8TDAVE]

Beautiful build, been putting out some bangers lately. Great job

[@AndyTheKenworthGuy]

Appreciate it

[@AlanSextonVT]

Old school cool just needs dual round air horns on top, which would then be flawless.

[@myexpressways4106]

It would be nice to hear what the application is. You mentioned pumps on the right side will be added, so maybe it is a fuel hauler. Fine looking rig. Understated classic.

[@AndyTheKenworthGuy]

Thanks for the r comments

Do you need a special permit in Manitoba if the wheelbase exceeds 244"?

[@DriveTFY]

Great looking Kenworth!

[@manpreet343]

Hello Andy this is one sweet ride you've build you mentioned in the video about Epa regulations I've got a question about that I live in the States and I am looking into buying a new w9 and I do live in state of WA and run into CA I've picked out a truck sitting at a dealership year make 2025 but that truck only has 1 certified clean idle stickers with US map on it. Does it also require another carb or epa sticker with CA map on it saying certified clean idle ? If you could clarify if you know thanks

[@DennisMurtha-eg7ld]

Looking great Andy😊the off roading looked like a great time😊another beautiful truck always grateful have a wonderful night

[@AndyTheKenworthGuy]

Thanks 👍

@AndyTheKenworthGuy enjoy your day always grateful your videos always brighten my day thankyou

[@TheSlothtronaut]

Is it possible to build w990 with 235 wheel base? I haul super B petroleum retail as company driver in Mack Anthem. I love my automatic. But i dont understand why they spec 12 speed with 3:58. With Average 6.5mpg. Since Cummins gobbled up Meritor. Is their automatic superior to volvo? Thank you

[@rodleithner7931]

How much does that beast weigh? Your vids are great except no weights.

[@AndyTheKenworthGuy]

I'll keep it in mind for future vids. Thanks for watching!

[@ryanfennewald5661]

First owed truck was a W900L with 72” single bunk. Every Pete guy I ran with could scale up to and in excess of 1k more than I could. And I spec’d the W9 out myself. 900L’s are awesome rides. Peterbilt has it figured out though when it comes to weight.

[@allanmccullough8550]

@@ryanfennewald5661 That hood is heavy and the suspension components are probably the biggest contributing factors. Dry weight on my 1996 379 is 17,330 lbs and right at 20k with 330 gallons of fuel road ready. I could load 50k on a Reitnouer flatbed and be at 80k with full tanks.

[@ryanfennewald5661]

29 yr technology to todays technology? Really?? Peterbilt still beats KW on weight. And they share the same access to components.

[@allanmccullough8550]

@@ryanfennewald5661 KW suspension is heavier duty than Pete although Pete's is adequate I think KW is almost overkill for highway use.

[@donrilett8982]

Great video Andy. That's a real sharp looking ride

[@AndyTheKenworthGuy]

It really is!

[@johnmrh9426]

So I have a question not just for Andy the Kenworth guy but for anybody that has a 2024 or newer W 900 L in order to put those three watermelon lights on do you have to remove the factory stainless steel shields

[@BigBoyRigs]

I didn't remove mine. I put the lights under it to make it reflect off of the stainless steel. It still shines bright. Most people do remove the shield though.

[@pawelzych6993]

[@sc4538]

Kenworth must be getting a lot of orders for W900s since it's rumored 2026 will be the last model year.

[@tommyguns14able]

No it won't. Back log is about a thousand. With more orders coming in.

[@sc4538]

@tommyguns14able Peterbilt could've continued building the 389 alongside the 589, Kenworth introduced the W990 before the pandemic.

[@tommyguns14able]

By now Cummins or Paccar should be able to offer something more than 605hp!! It's been the same for years now! At least 650-700hp as an option...

Lol!! Just what i also thought. This is an old dinosaur. 2025!!!! Lol lol!!!

[@catd11ng74]

You know American trucks are crap when his talking about shaking headlights, sagging front fenders, cracks in the paint, when you see a small fan in the cabin, when you need to put the arm rests away to be able to move in the cab, when you see hundreds of gauges all over the dash. But the paint is glossy. Lol!!

[@1Surt]

irrelevant comment yet, 205,000 on first set of steer tires which still had tread. vibrations at 55-57mph caused replacement. Impressive. edit: 37yrs in trucking. 20+ years in hazmat chemical tankers/ 5yrs in oversized. The rest wasted doing common hauling.
