Any T680 Owners? Would love some feedback.

SNI approved for a $0 down lease on a 2015 EVO and $5,000 down for a 2015 T680. I drove a 2007 and a 2012 Casscadia and now drive a 2014 Prostar. Today I test dove a 2015 T680 with the air ride front axle and the 13 speed. BEST ride ever! It is not even in the same ballpark. I now know why they call them Freight Shakers. I am so used to bouncing as I drive. I was in AWE driving down the highway and no bounce. NONE! AND QUIET! I am test driving a 780 tomorrow with the Idrive and the local volvo dealership. It will be hard to beat the drive of the T680..

 

I would not BUY volvo even if it stood still. Quality control in particular and overall culture of manufacturing in volvo is below acceptable level. I used to be a volvo fanboy but now, meh...
If you ever need to be antishaked and stabilized better invest in Bose Truck Seat (~$6,000). Just my $0.02.

 

Worse truck I have ever owned. This truck has been in the shop more then on the road. Electrical issues everywhere. Both power door locks went up this week. Water in the air system, ( deal has no idea what is causing it) Key up the mic on the cb and my engine will power down and every light comes on in the dash. The list goes on and on! Kenworth has tired to get out of paying for the repairs even though it was under warranty! I can't wait to get out of this truck.

 

From a bunch of new trucks (volvo) on my previous job only few trucks were not visiting dealer twice a month. It happens.

 

This truck suppose to be better and could be easily if Kenworth would care to listen drivers when design, stand up for their product after it sold. Unfortunately they are satisfied to be a little bit better than the rest instead of commanding leading. I am an unhappy Kenworth customer, but it does not change the fact, the T680 is the best truck on the market... It is my two cents.

 

Hello. I've had my 680 for over a year now and have been mostly happy with it. It's the best riding most comfortable truck I've ever had.that being said I've had a problem from new with water intrusion into the bunk when running on wet roads. They tried resealing the boot doors and the rear hvac unit but to no avail. If I ran long enough in the wet I would have wet carpet in front of the bed and eventually the carpet had salt stains from the road salt that entered with the water. This spring on a warm day I removed the back panel under the bed and found what I've always suspected was the source of the intrusion, the black air vents! No shop ever took the time to remove the panel to check this before but told me time and again they weren't the cause! other than that, at least it's not a pro star!

 

1. They do not care about your happiness.
2. they do care about their profit, etc. There was an article somewhere claiming they have 5 years in raw with increasing profit.

 

I also look at these vents trying to figure out how to close em forever.

 

Sorry, guys, it looks shallow but it does what it suppose to do - protect from sun. I'll improve it over time, but right now it consists of towel from sam's club, hooks from Home Depot and elastic band from walmart. All in all ~$25. Door visor should have some hard core (carton, plastic, etc) to avoid bending when you open window. Also its better to use some kind of telescopic antenna instead of elastic to keep it straight. Sure, there are many ways to make it better than I did but it works for me.

 

those vents serve same purpose as the ones on cascadias to release pressure when you close doors .. they were the cause of 2 years of changing light plug on bunk every 6 months or so due to corrosion i could never figure out how back of plug receptacle corroded . about to get a 680 next week going to have to devise a way to prevent same issue i guess
