How tall is truck from floor to ceiling. Enough room without crunching over. I really like the looks of these midroofs better than the high rise. We pull curtain sides also. Thanks.
I drive a t680 with 500 paccar. I find the paccar vibrates alot when pulling heavy. Ive driven 10 or more different t680s in our company. They all do it. 2016s 2017s 2018s n the 2019s we just got. All the same issue. The side fairings rattle. The column covers rattle. The dash rattles. Drives me nutz.... if paccar works out the vibrations it would be a great truck.
Just curious as an outsider - When I just went on the kenworth website there is no mention of the X15? Is it possible to get a 680 with a X15? I noticed they don't mention the x15 on the 880 either but our youtube friend sergi has a X15 in his 2017 T880. Curious whats with hiding the X15 option or is it no longer a option?
Hi Chuck. Detroit engines have not been available or offered since 2002/2003 ish. The parent company for FLD and W Star (Dialmer) owns Detroit and doesn’t sell it to anyone else anymore.
You dont want a cumapart. My 2016 t800 went 450 000kms on 3 550 cummins. They all blew up hard. I gave up that truck to avoid goin broke from down time. That cummins was a real piece of shit. Now i run a t680 with a paccar. Its not as powerful but our fleet is having good luck with them
Ernie Desjardins had very good luck with Cummins. Over a million miles on Int eagle with 1 overhead done. Pro star with Cummins had 2 fuel pumps installed. No engine issues. Keep it serviced and don’t ride wide open all the time it’ll take care of you. Think I’m going to try the automatic next. One of our trucks is getting 7.8-7.9 with it.
On KWS disc brakes are installed (there is a frame on the frame). I saw them only on KWS. How do they behave for heavy trucks? Is there a disc brake system for other brands?
Love this truck! Especially the color! What blue is that? Great spec and all. Truck look great with the side fairings and fenders. All in all a great truck. Really like the T680. If I was spec'n it for me I'd put the Nav Plus, other than that I like how it's spec'd. Thanks for posting
Thanks for your comments Wayne. Always great to have feedback! The blue is Surf Blue. One of Kenworth’s signature colors. I love it too. Thanks for watching
Wait a min my w900L has the ag400 suspension but I have 8 air bags this one only has 4?. Can a driver get the studio sleeper in the t680 like they can get it in the t660,t800 and the w900L?
I wander, kenworth build the T610 for the Australian market, however it is essentially a T680 with a short sleeper and tall hood. Are there any 610's actually in the USA?
@@@AndyTheKenworthGuy thanks, I thought the 610 hood was the same length as the 680 just taller to accommodate a bigger radiator to deal with tje heat of the Australian outback.
You have the option of a flat top / mid roof in a 40", 52" or 76" bunk. You can get a tall sleeper in a 76" bunk. There isn't a standard size, its up do you want you want.
Very modern truck for very modern people. 👍🏽 During the video a question popped asking what’s your favorite Kenworth truck you forgot to put the T600 💪🏽👍🏽
Why did they quit putting stacks on big trucks? I thought that was to get the carbon monoxide above the sleeper. Now it looks like the exhaust can get in the truck with you if you have to idle your truck. Just curious about this.
I noticed that the featured truck is equipped with pavement facing exhaust rather than the more usual above the roof sky facing exhaust. Given that fumes from any internal combustion engine are unpleasant and unsafe, why would a purchaser/manufacturer offer the pavement facing option? Perhaps there is a practical application that escapes me. Thanks and cheers.
Hi Leigh. With the near zero emissions from the tailpipe it is much cleaner and safer. Also, most trucks are required to shut off while loading / unloading and they come equipped with aux heater or a/c unit to keep the cab comfortable while having the truck shut off. Thanks for commenting and watching
What about driver safety? How many airbags you have? What driver's safety feature are. Because most trucks have only seat belt and one air bag, that's poor.
Andy The Kenworth Guy but its insane how nobody want to put air bags for drivers head (besides driver window and above windshield), and driver's knees. I mean if you seen some cars have up to 10 airbags but those trucks have only one 🤔😐 if you look european truck, they have much much more options. Even european volvo going couple generation forward compared to us volvo
We had a couple immagrants hit one of our volvo vn630 head on. He had a air bag. The air bag didnt help 1 bit. My friend stan lost his life. So did the 2 in the 7 star truck. The only way to live in a truck is to not crash... copy
Don't know who came first Andy the Kenworth Guy or Peterbilt Steve you may or may not know Peterbilt Steve. He is one for adding some bling here and there check him out on You tube . But I must say I enjoy your personal take on any Kenworth truck you feature . Here is a question how much does that really cool t- shirt cost that has the big W9 on it ???? Well here is something worth watching once released it's possible you know of Marc Anthony Storm - corvette channel he is a Scotlynn Commodities driver who happens to be getting a brand new W900L and will be having a epic video release coming soon and I wondered if your impressed enough by his epic video would you consider sending him one of those W9 shirts ???????? Looking forward to your response Andy you picked a perfect job nothing like continuing the family time honoured tradition I'm very impressed and here I thought you where just another modern day salesmen using multimedia just to pitch sales but your family is well rooted in the business I wish I had a t shirt to give you because I'm impressed !!!!!! Kind regards Colin
Hey Colin. Thanks for the kind words. If you stay tuned to my channel, I’ll be doing giveaways in the near future and T-shirt’s will be in the mix! I’ll have to check out the hose channels when I have some time. Thanks for watching and as always, Have The World’s Best day.
Morning Andy I'm lucky enough to have you take moment out of your busy day to reply as far as your give away contest sounds nice but I think I will just simply buy a t shirt and send it to Marc Anthony Corvettes 917 channel directly this way the new KW and t shirt arrive sooner then later . One thing I must mention it's easy to forget your a salesmen and not necessarily a video blogger so forgive me if I send random links or make unrelated comments that are not related to Kenworth brand and on that not its time for a K whopper breakfast thank you and I appreciate . Have a productive and of course The World's Best Kenworth Day Kind regards Colin
Thanks Andy I went straight to the website nothing even close did you just buy one or do you have some for sale at your location if not a standard t KW t will have to do .
That's when the mileage savings ain't as critical and i can go for personal taste...flattop 379 pete...er 389 now or similar kw....T680 are really nice inside...and look ok only other truck i even like is a new mack...new freightliners are absolutely horrible looking and built cheaper than a yugo. Paccar needs more powertrain choices...i wouldn't take another red top for free!! need a 15 liter paccar mx...i won't buy anything under 550hp/1850TQ....and that's at the bare minimum
Andy The Kenworth Guy the big thing for me with typical 47 year old lower back, knees and arthritis is idiot's like volvo putting the fridge on the floor...after a hard day last thing i wanna do is wind down in pain grabbing dinner or a beverage out the fridge before sleeping....paccar seems to understand this....touches like the rubbers on sliding doors are awesome too...lot of trucks rattle a lot after 6 months...little stuff like this means a lot when you live in it
2023 updates? Digital dash 👎, HVAC that just doesn't work and requires constant fiddleling 👎, insulation that's non-existent making for a noisy cab 👎, still no full size mattress... for $200k I'd expect better.
Really nice paint looks like iceland blue metallic.
How tall is truck from floor to ceiling. Enough room without crunching over. I really like the looks of these midroofs better than the high rise. We pull curtain sides also. Thanks.
Will try to talk about it in a future video. I believe it’s around 7’ inside.

Same issue with a t660 at my work too
Love the T680
Isn’t it great.
Sharp truck....and that color is killer!
Isn’t it great 👍🏻
Does the t680 have the same room as the t700. Just got introduced to the t700. Only to find out it was discontinued in 2014
T700 is a bit larger
A sunvisor would add a great look to the truck. Does this seats have integrated seatbelts?
Hi Magnus. A sunvisor is available aftermarket. The seatbelts are mounted to the cab. Thanks for watching
Can you get an air deflector for the 76 inch midroof like you can on the 52 inch midroof?
You can now
Just curious as an outsider - When I just went on the kenworth website there is no mention of the X15? Is it possible to get a 680 with a X15? I noticed they don't mention the x15 on the 880 either but our youtube friend sergi has a X15 in his 2017 T880. Curious whats with hiding the X15 option or is it no longer a option?
It is most certainly available! Up to 605hp

Disc brakes are common on heavy trucks now. However some trucks are ordered with drum due to lower cost.

Andy The Kenworth Guy
Your doing a great job with this channel. Thanks again and thanks to your customers for buying the Worlds best trucks!
Muy bueno el video pero deveria ser en español
Wait a min my w900L has the ag400 suspension but I have 8 air bags this one only has 4?. Can a driver get the studio sleeper in the t680 like they can get it in the t660,t800 and the w900L?
The 4 bag is called “AG400L” the 8 bag is AG400. The studio sleeper is only available on the 1.9 meter cabs not the 2.1 (t680/t880/w990)
@@AndyTheKenworthGuy that sucks no studio in the 2.1 and up smh
I’m sure it’ll come one day.
I find the T680 a bitch to manually wash side windows with no hand rail to grab and hold on to with the door shut.
Do trucks only come with a automatic no manual
No. They come with either.
@@AndyTheKenworthGuy thanks
Beautiful truck! Looks best with those rims and color!
Sure is sharp AJ!
I wander, kenworth build the T610 for the Australian market, however it is essentially a T680 with a short sleeper and tall hood. Are there any 610's actually in the USA?
No. Our short hood 680 is an 880
@@@AndyTheKenworthGuy
thanks, I thought the 610 hood was the same length as the 680 just taller to accommodate a bigger radiator to deal with tje heat of the Australian outback.
What paint color is that called?
It's a nice truck, what is the scale weight of this truck??
What paint Colour is this ??
Can you get an upper storage wall for a full size t680? Instead of the top bunk
.
Yes you can.
@@AndyTheKenworthGuy how much would that cost extra?
About $1500
Do all of the t680's have a standard size chassis ?
You have the option of a flat top / mid roof in a 40", 52" or 76" bunk. You can get a tall sleeper in a 76" bunk. There isn't a standard size, its up do you want you want.
Very modern truck for very modern people. 👍🏽
During the video a question popped asking what’s your favorite Kenworth truck you forgot to put the T600 💪🏽👍🏽
That’s true I did. It’s discontinued so I only asked current production models. Thanks for watching
Why did they quit putting stacks on big trucks? I thought that was to get the carbon monoxide above the sleeper. Now it looks like the exhaust can get in the truck with you if you have to idle your truck. Just curious about this.
The exhaust is now clean due to the new emissions regulations. However it still isn’t recommended to idle the truck.
I think the pig manure in a tank stinks bad
Beautiful truck 👍
Thanks
Love this truck is the perfect size for me
It’s a comfortable truck for sure.
I noticed that the featured truck is equipped with pavement facing exhaust rather than the more usual above the roof sky facing exhaust.

Thank you for the reply, Andy. :)
Do you build any of your trucks with a 60 inch rear axle spread?
Not often but I do occasionally. Some even with 72”
Thank you for taking the time to reply
What about driver safety? How many airbags you have? What driver's safety feature are. Because most trucks have only seat belt and one air bag, that's poor.
No airbags are offered yet. We have Bendix Wingman fusion for lane keeping and collision mitigation.

Hey Colin. I bought the shirt on sunfrog.com but I think it’s discontinued.
Thanks Andy I went straight to the website nothing even close did you just buy one or do you have some for sale at your location if not a standard t KW t will have to do .
I bought it online. Try searching for kenworth or W9. There is a gray W9 shirt there that I have. Good luck!
Damn that's a pretty truck
Sure is a nice one Clanky
Love Kenworth t680
what is the price , milage per mile, spairparts price etc
Please send me an email to andy.willerton@customtruck.ca
Where do you get your music from
Lots of it is from the TH-cam creators database.
Any automatic trucks
We sell lots of em.
Truck has my name all over it. 😎
What price does friend have?
New trucks will run 170-200k Canadian funds.
What's the weight?
This truck was just under 17,700 lbs
450hp n 1650 torque for flat bed application? too limited
80,000 lbs gross works great and gives awesome fuel mileage. I have many customers running that way and they’re happy.
Im a pete guy but this kw midroof is dope
Pretty sweet. Thanks for watching
You guys have any used trucks ? how about showcasing some nice clean used ones, not everyone has a $ 155000 to spend on a new truck
I have a huge used truck selection. Call me at (204) 293-9180 to discuss what you’re looking for.
T680 best tractor for pulling anything other than flats or tanks with a flattop
Other than those ridiculous hood mirrors
What’s the best tractor for flats and tanks in your opinion?
That's when the mileage savings ain't as critical and i can go for personal taste...flattop 379 pete...er 389 now or similar kw....T680 are really nice inside...and look ok only other truck i even like is a new mack...new freightliners are absolutely horrible looking and built cheaper than a yugo. Paccar needs more powertrain choices...i wouldn't take another red top for free!! need a 15 liter paccar mx...i won't buy anything under 550hp/1850TQ....and that's at the bare minimum

Yeah, me too, when he mentioned the paccar motor (facepalm). Real men buy Cummings x15 motors!
It’s spelled Cummins. 😉
