Kenworth launches ICON 900 premium truck at Mid-America Trucking Show

I can see now it might be bad going to MATS Saturday, my wife will die if I tell her I want one...

 

spec'd a heavy haul w900 6 months ago. $219000 and some change. my wife couldn't pull me out of the dealership fast enough. she threatened my life if I ordered one! guess I will have to stick with my trusty old 99 for a while!

 

Just bring it home and surprise her.

 

You really need to get out a little more,you're delusional.

 

He doesn't pay attention on prostar and volvos. They are made out of completely plastic. Kenworth and Peterbilt are not 100% out of plastic. Sleeper/cab is out aluminum.

 

wow that is a lot of money for a tractor i'm guessing you loaded it up with everything you needed and wanted. Are you talking about the '99 you have in classifieds now?

 

no that one is a different one I bought back in December.

 

this is my baby also a 99 with the 15.8 46 rears. original paint.

 

I don't see anything to be excited about. A couple of emblems, different lights, long step/toolboxes making it nearly impossible to polish the end of the fuel tank, and some stitching on the seat. A one color paint job and a BLACK frame. WTF!!! This truck falls way short of anything special. I am a W9 fan and owner but I don't see anything to cream your jeans over.

 

Yeah I guess you're right I just get all jazzed whenever I see a new one period.
