Kenworth Trucks Discussion Thread

The Paccar engines sound not bad IMO, I don't like the others, regarding Kenworth trucks.
I always use mods.

When will be renewed the dashboard on W900?

Out of the blu saying this but about a month ago Kenworth Usa mentioned about their K500 range which a DAF XF body mounted on a C500 chassis. I never seen or even heard about it before then so it goes to say how rare are those models in NA or in general?

I read that they made around 283 of them but none of them stayed in the US, they were all exported to Africa, Asia, and Russia for oilfield or mining type work.

The Kenworth C500 is an extreme duty truck used for things like construction, mining, oilfields, and heavy haul. Its most notable features are its very high ground clearance and its ginormous hood. As far as I know, they're still in production, but these trucks aren't very common on the roads.

Now that I know what the C500 is I just have to vote for it. Until then I'll stick with my trusty T680.

how about bring the k200 kenworth in the game see a lot off them in australian at the moment

[supersobes]

The Kenworth K200 is an Australian truck that was never made for the North American truck market, so it wouldn't make sense to have that truck in ATS. When cabovers were in use in North America, the Kenworth K100 was the truck that was driven here.

It's so nice to see how many folks have casted their vote for the Kenworth W990! Of all of the classic inspired modern trucks, I think the W990 is the most attractive.

Just updated the poll to include the new Kenworth T680E (an electric version of the regular T680) as @supersobes recently mentioned on the 'Next ATS Truck Speculation' thread. With this new poll addition, the poll reset itself. Be sure to cast your vote!
