New KW T680 introduced

Please do that! I am seriously considering to order a new truck in a few months, and right now the T680 is the #1 on my list. Any information is greatly appreciated.

 

Looks a LOT like a scaled down cascadia !

 

It is not an information. LOL. Okay, I take back the beautiful. In my eyes it is a good looking aerodynamic truck, with a very nice, well designed interior. And it supposed to be premium quality, since this is a Kenworth.

 

I would like to see one in a mid-roof configuration, for us flatbedders.

 

I hate to say this but, PACCAR has been turning out "Crap in plastic pretending to be trucks" since 2000......Of course Shaker started that back in the 90's......

 

And learned how to do it right, so paccar is 10 years behind. Shop had a party when our last 387 got traded!

 

The 387 was the biggest POS PACCAR produced besides the T2000's.....

 

My biggest gripe.....Can't these truck makers use better body paint on their rigs?

When one buys a rig that costs as much as a house....You'd think they would use high quality paints.....

 

The 387 and the t2000 were the same (base) truck. Hood and int trim was only difference. Knowing there was almost a 20 k price difference, other brands are almost every 5th truck free and better fuel milage.
Got friend that was service manager at a 100% kw fleet. He can tell you build quality is no better. Had to send wrecker after one that the rear spring hangers broke off pulling out customers drive with first load. Truck had 40 miles. Had 5 the glue (yes glue) that holds seats failed . Be driving along and driver's seat fall over. Had to do recall to bolt seats down! But my fav was the one with 5 miles dropping a empty, 5 th wheel hooked to pin. No one put bolts in slider subframe.

 

But ######....They're CARB compliant...And that's what counts!!!!!!
