We are in a 2016 T680. I was hoping to find improvements to the interior after 4 years. Its identical! Especially the fridge needs improvement. Dont tell me to put a cooler under the bunk. That's NOT practical. A door fridge is better.
i'm not a trucker but i said a couple years ago when this truck came out in my opinion the T680 has the best body style. also what i don't agree with is everything is a option when it should be standard equipment . like the swivel table and tv holder it is what the drivers need plus a bigger fridge. i don't know why company's do this just too jack up the price. these trucks are expensive enough.
I am driving a T680 daycab with the Cummins ISX engine and 12 speed transmission. One that comes to mind is the torque where you don't feel like you are pulling an empty trailer. The fuel management system means that it will automatically go into neutral if you are going down hill even with the foot on the pedal it will automatically do it. So you got to watch out and it will go into neutral if you coast to a red light or on an open stretch of road. The turning radius is not as good as the other trucks but you can make sufficient U turns if you need to. When going in reverse the truck will automatically do it for you. One thing I did notice is that the AC is cold I mean extremely cold when you turn it on. I get cold after a few minutes even if it's set on the hotter settings with the AC on.
Yep i agree! Kenworth it's time for a upgrade in the sleeper!! All truck makers spend a lot of time on fuel economy and drive trains but no time putting together a real comfortable sleeper package. Some of us spend a lot of time away from home and we need a bigger refrigerator and more storage space. And hopefully one day would like to see a booth set up or a sofa bed. I've been driving since 1987 and been driving kenworth trucks for 30years and I really do love kenworth trucks but could these people at least start thinking a little bit more harder on driver comforts. IMJS
What a gorgeous truck, I drove a 2016 when I was a company driver and damn it I miss it. I was able to mount a 32in tv there and I think I could have put a a 40in but not sure definitely a 32in tho. It wouldn’t turn all the way around like a 22in will but the 32in is definitely a nice fit👍. Great video! Keep them coming!!
Would be cool if Paccar would take everything that is great about this truck and the Peterbilt 579 and even the Volvo VNL 780 and make a truck that has the best of all worlds. And have it as the Paccar PAC Z395 (Just a suggested/proposed model number)
I like KW for the quality and (like everyone else) the W900 growing up. I do wish that they’d refresh the exterior of the T680. The New Cascadia and Volvo VNL truck look amazing. A T680 with slicked back styling like that would be awesome!
Maybe one day it’ll refresh. It’s a cab that came out 7 years ago. Some of the other manufacturers have new hoods or headlights but same old interiors.
From experience ik the mount is for a 22" TV but I've got a 32" TV in my 680. Had it there for the last year and everything seems to be just fine. I still have full functionality of the mount as well.
Hey Andy, one more question for you if I could, please. On the mid roof T680, is it possible to get a W990 sun-visor installed from the factory, or do we have to install an aftermarket one at the dealership level?
The factory doesn’t offer it. It’s only on the W990 at this time. Give it a few years and I’m sure the factory will offer it. Well I hope it does anyways b
Great video Andy. Thank you for a good review and video 📹 of the truck. Great theme song.🎶 The Kenworth T680 is a workhorse of a truck 🚛 with all the creature comforts.🛋🛏☕️📺 BTW: Congrats on hitting 10k subscribers.👍💯
Can't fit my General Lee CB into the 2017 cabinet - was hoping you'd have provided a better glimpse of what you've got in there; trying to balance a quality CB with the restrictive cabinet. Is the fridge, stock?
Okay so I am just figuring out that the bed can be raised like that so easily.. how often are these made to be raised up/down? Can I access that storage area daily? Very excited to hook up an inverter now so I can use my hot plate and cook a steak occasionally
I like watching your videos from south Tx looking at your freezing weather at the time you posted this video. Just sitting back waiting to see when these truck manufacturers will get themselves in a financial bind for the price of these trucks. I’m waiting for the pick up trucks to do the same.
Hi Andy. Like the interior and exterior video of the T680 model. Kindly give us a full video tour of the new KW W990. Is it true that the truck has no trailer and truck parking break? More videos from you Andy. Many thanks.
Love how he coughed after commenting on "no fumes". I hate re-latching the top bunk and im glad to see he struggled as well lol. Aint puttin no damn cooler under the bunk. Easy to lift when there's nothing on it. T680 needs interior overhaul. Shitty plastic latches on everything.
Good question. It depends on fuel tank size but I would think 228 would be the shortest. However, 232 is ideal for van haul with the appropriate clearance.
Still frustrated. Maybe I am just stupid. I see no difference in an 880 and a 680. I have heard everything is moving to a "one cab size" layout and that the only difference in trucks will be hoods, sleeper size and wheelbase. That means no more 900's. If that's the case good thing that automation is coming soon. A world without 900's is just too depressing to face. I am a sad KW guy today.
That sucks. Don’t be sad. The W900 is alive and well. Kenworth has a tradition of having a “common cab”. The W900, T800 T660/600 and C500 all had a common cab. The new trucks also have a common cab.
Andy Kenworth Guy, can you get the T680 in Glider Kit?? Have had to many PROBLEMS&SPENT WAY TO MUCH $$$$ on REPAIRS related to DPF&DEF!! Looking to try something NEW!! Thanks!!💯🇺🇸👍💰
Financing is a confusing and complicated discussion. Specific to each deal individually. So for that reason I won’t do a video on this. I would be happy to have a discussion in person on the topic though.
@@AndyTheKenworthGuy Tks Andy love your videos. Looks like June or July I will be looking at another truck. Not sure if it will be a W9 or 389 but I will definitely get ahold of you if it's a KW.
Kenworths last quality sleeper came in the T700 the EGR had some problems but these new t680's are a step in the wrong direction for KW. I stopped by a dealer to check out the T680 and 4 of the cabnits would not latch closed after opening them. I walked away and have never looked back until today and it is the same as it was 4 years ago.......what happened to KW leading the pack as the Cadillac of the trucking world?! Sad. Really really sad to see especially since the PACCAR motor is practically a disposable motor. Just look at Truck Trader if there is a PACCAR motor it list $15k-$20k cheaper for a same milage Cummins. That is a huge setback for an owner op for resale.
@@AndyTheKenworthGuy No problem, I always look forward to seeing what's next as far as your videos goes. Looking forward to seeing and hearing your review and thoughts of the W990 once you have one on your lot.
I have an inland kenworth close to me they I'm in Saskatchewan dont really have anything if I found something up ur way how hard is it to ship it down?
Uh-oh someone messed up and ordered this truck without an x-15. Mx13 and weedburner exhaust, a (bad combination) *note to self, park over some grass* and push the "regen button" and walk away while mother nature takes it's natural course.
My Dad was a trucker and his favorite truck has always been Kenworth, great video.

Everything is an option because the industry is so customized.
Packard and Peter is the best truck ever build. I’m shocked how Freightliner still dominates the market.

Thanks!!
U never demo the driver seat controls some people are saying the seat don't bounce on rough road is there a reason why ?
Trucks are my Love ❤️ ❤️
Thanks for watching!
I read pete and kw went to disc brakes standard is this true also do you still offer 8 bag air ride systems
As for Kenworth we offer disc brakes standard but it is an option to delete. The 8 bag AG400 is an option too.
Ok
Hi Andy. Like the interior and exterior video of the T680 model.
Kindly give us a full video tour of the new KW W990. Is it true that the truck has no trailer and truck parking break?
More videos from you Andy. Many thanks.
Once the W990 is available in your showroom.
The W990 tour is coming soon. I will be posting a full tour on the truck in a few weeks. Stay tuned.
@@AndyTheKenworthGuy Looking forward on that video. Many thanks Andy.

Don’t forget to ad that all the drawers and closets rattle like crazy
Hey Andy, is this the smallest wheelbase you can get on the t680 with the 76in highrise with enough space for an apu?
Good question. It depends on fuel tank size but I would think 228 would be the shortest. However, 232 is ideal for van haul with the appropriate clearance.
@@AndyTheKenworthGuy ok thanks for responding, I hope to be in contact with you soon in regards to building a truck.
I look forward to helping you one day.
Love the videos
Just curious if you could mention actual mattress width. Thanks for the previews. Great job.
Will do
Nice truck.dropped the ball on fridge
Andy, Does Kenworth offer the Artic wrapped fuel lines like Peterbilt offers ?
Yup
I need one of those coffee mugs bro! 🚛👍🏻😎
I mounted a 32 inch TV on the factory t680 mount
Wow. Thanks for the feedback

No. The gliders are not available with t680
did you mention if the truck is automatic trans or stick shift? but I guess thats not important
Unfortunately the under the bed cooler isn't practical. Especially if the apu is installed. The extra tubing etc takes up all that room. Nice truck.
Hey Andy, are the back wall storage cabinets and shelf available in the high roof sleeper instead of the upper bunk?
Nope. Only in the mid roof
The Kenworth Guy, that’s truly unfortunate. I do appreciate the response though. Keep banging out the great videos!
Can you cover more videos regarding how finance work with buying a truck new vs used
Financing is a confusing and complicated discussion. Specific to each deal individually. So for that reason I won’t do a video on this. I would be happy to have a discussion in person on the topic though.
t680 is due for an interior redo!
You can mount a 32 in the TV mount. I also have the 2020 t680
Awesome. Thanks for the info
The 5 year warranty only for the transmission? Or Engine included?
Engine has a 2 year warranty.
I'm a driver with Bigfreight. Steinbach. From North Bay.ont.
Sweet. My dad sells to Big Freight
beautiful truck
Paccar needs to start making more HP ... As a O/O spec I would want something closer to the cum's 565 or 605 hp with a lot more gauges and a 18sp
I know. 510 is max for the Paccar but it is the highest rated hp engine in a 13 liter platform.
@@AndyTheKenworthGuy Tks Andy love your videos. Looks like June or July I will be looking at another truck. Not sure if it will be a W9 or 389 but I will definitely get ahold of you if it's a KW.
In the UK they are running the Paccar 510 in heavy haulage units up to 150 ton +
Good warranty. Very clean.

Andy, I have a question can you get siriusxm radio ?
Yup

jsyk know, the tv mount can handle a 32" tv if you're ok with just mounting two screws lol
Thanks for the tip
Any info/word on a retro-fit upper rear cabinet/storage unit to take place of an upper bunk....???
Thanks.
Only available on the mid roof at the moment.
@@AndyTheKenworthGuy can i order one thru "parts" to install in place of my upper bunk??
Thanks very much!!
The cabinets you could, but there would need to be reinforcements in the sleeper structure.
Price of trucks are way too high these days to justify the headaches. Low freight rates + high costs = driver shortage.
It’s challenging times for sure.
That Refrigerator is to small, is there an option for bigger one?
No there isn’t.

Yes, I seen Josh's review of it, very good insight from him.
Can you get the t680 in a manual
Yup
Well you never know now a days everything auto. are you out of Manitoba
Yes I am. Stop by anytime.
I have an inland kenworth close to me they I'm in Saskatchewan dont really have anything if I found something up ur way how hard is it to ship it down?
Where are you based out of?
looks cute
what a great tractor, question I did really like the red tanker that you have in the back of you, can tou sell it to me!!!!
Whats owner spec? I dont think these sales guys know what that means...
Seriously, it looks stock from the ground up.
Stock spec would be no extra gauges, no swivel seat, no tv mount, no table, no doors on cupboards etc etc. just to name a few things.

Not sure. Trying new things all the time.
That table looks like a terrible option and will be constantly moved or constantly in the way
I took mine out took about 30 min freed up a ton of room I use a folding table I store behind the passenger seat if I need a desk works like a charm
The table is optional.
No difference from 2019
