We got a 2019 KW T680 from a leasing company about 1 1/2 years ago . So far these are the issues we’ve encountered :
Truck DEF system caught fire rolling down the highway .
Shock absorbers in the front have come loose. 2x’s .
UJoints have come loose.
Alignment has had to be done twice .
AC has gone out 3x’s .
Truck has an issue with power , 7k loads are even a struggle . 42k is pathetically painful .
Dash lights have gone out .. but come back on ...
Steering arm had to be replaced.
Coolant leaks .
Air leak on the secondary line.
I wouldn’t recommend KW . If this is what they call a good truck , then Frieghtliner is the equivalent of a Rolls Royce .

First, I know it doesn't mean much, but I am sorry that your having all the trouble. I know it can be extremely frustrating . But personally always though Kenworths were ok. Some of the issues are describing are on the engine side. Maybe why the leasing company got out if itWhiteline64 Thanks this.

No , it’s currently still owned by the leasing company , I am still paying it off . KW just sucks like all truck repair shops , I called around , from 5 days to 1 week just to get it into a shop . Unreal . As if an O/O can just sit around for a week or more .
