Kenworth Offically Debuts T700

The new aerodynamic trucks all look the same. They don't have the same character as the 379's, W900's, and even the old Macks. It's like driving a COE with a short hood, only easier to get in & out of.

 

Boy you said a mouthful there. That Cascadia I used to drive was like a cab over and that is an insult to a cab over!

 

Did anyone else notice in the instrument panel picture they are showing a two pedal automatic trans set-up. Standard equipment or optional?

 

Studio Sleeper would be sweet

 

If it ain't a shiny 379 it ain't mine...what I used to say...

 

They copied the cascadia in taking the sunvisor off how rude can they get? A truck just isnt a truck with out the sunvisor, and to much sloped nose for road kill to slide up the hood and into the windsheild.

 

1) i think, since they have been around so long, is as long as there is a demand, they (specifically KW+pete) will keep offerring them. i mean, fleets have NEVER (at least in the past 20yrs and in large doses) bought long noses. But the o/o's love them. And long noses have continually been offered.

So, i wouldn't get too worried.


Truck styling is at an all time low.

 

Get a Western Star 4900EX LowMax?

 

hell i agree wit all yall guys. there is nothing better than the smell of diesel or the sound of the turbos spooling up or the rumble and vibration that runs thru u wen ur driving especially in kws and petes. all my family has ever owned was W900L KWs and a 379 pete and since the government has been steppin on our feet to me they've taken a lot of the fun out of drivin. but to me the new T700 just dnt really appeal to me as a beast of a truck but who know i may be wrong

 

It's shiny.
