So it's the model year that maters, not the build date. I also could not find any guidance for engine vs. chassis model year, so I don't know how that's handled in Canada.

 

Not sure about canada,but here in the us both cab and engine must have a tag proving the manufacturing year regardless of the model year.

 

In the vehicle world. The new model year starts in August production.

In the semi world. It starts earlier. The 16 FL I drove was manufactured in April 2015. Took possession in may.

Seems stupid to me.

The w900 is on it's last year. Only 900 being produced. Limited edition. I work with #64 of 900. It has 50k miles so I don't know when they took possession but it's a 24 model year.

 

Kenworth Trucks
Looks like its just a limited edition W900 for this year, celebrating 100 years of Kenworth. Don't see anything saying its done its production run.

 

That's the drivers story.

But it WAS announced on the trucking channel some years back.

 

It’s not the end of the 900L. They’re still available to order without all the hundred year stuff, just have to find a dealer with build spots.

 

Sounds like if the vin is 2000 your out of luck.. CTA was asking to make eld mandatory on 1995 up not sure how that’s going .
