Have had one since 2018 and to be honest I wouldn’t want anything else after 45 years belting around in most models as well as cabovers its a pleasure to drive it’s a 600 X15 18 speed box running PBS
i drive one in truck and quad (2016) (2018)models respectfully ,everything about the day cab is great , the view ,aircon, lighting, dash ,but the steering box ratio is slow and harder to turn than every other truck out there the steer tires need to be at 120psi to keep the steering at its easiest , steering return to center is poor , and after a few hundred kays on the freeway the king pins grow and start to stiffen up creating a very fatiguing situation where it is difficult just to keep the truck going straight (they were like this from new ) i remember kenworth claiming it was the best steering to date on the road ? theres 20 year old trucks out there that dont have these steering issues , and dont get me started on the automated transmission management computer and its under developed programs where by its first response to a problem is to pull the throttle away or take the gears away all together , a full manual would be 100% better
The 610 and 410 kws are junk, worst kenworths ever built Anyone who doesn't think so hasn't spent more than a week in one The vision is terrible, the a pillars are far to big, so big that u can't see oncoming traffic at roundabouts The cab noise is so loud u can't drive with the windows down They are difficult to get in and out of The alarms are way too loud The stalk with the indicators on is too loose, when u put the indicators or high beam.on the windscreen wipers wl come on The park brakes are in a difficult spot to access The adaptive cruise control is useless, it's so bad u can't use cruise control at all There is no room in the cab The steering wheel is too thick They squeak The grab handle hits your right knee and your knee also hits the door handle that is made from cheap plastic that squeaks all day The mirrors are too short The autos are rubbish The instrument panel goes dark all the time when driving down the road This video is just propaganda, we have an old 409 with 1.3 million k and everyone wants to drive that instead of the 610s and 410s Og and don't get the bendix collision mitigation system it will drive u nuts and u will want to push the truck over a cliff #junkkenworths
Hahahaha what a moaner . Learn how to drive. If you think vision is bad on these, try driving a 90. There a plenty of drivers that operate these for years. You’re just a pansy that can’t handle these trucks. What a pathetic moaner whinger you are that give all us truckies a bad name. Gtfo outta here you pansy. Disgrace you are.

The vision is terrible, the a pillars are far to big, so big that u can't see oncoming traffic at roundabouts
The cab noise is so loud u can't drive with the windows down
They are difficult to get in and out of
The alarms are way too loud
The stalk with the indicators on is too loose, when u put the indicators or high beam.on the windscreen wipers wl come on
The park brakes are in a difficult spot to access
The adaptive cruise control is useless, it's so bad u can't use cruise control at all
There is no room in the cab
The steering wheel is too thick
They squeak
The grab handle hits your right knee and your knee also hits the door handle that is made from cheap plastic that squeaks all day
The mirrors are too short
The autos are rubbish
The instrument panel goes dark all the time when driving down the road
This video is just propaganda, we have an old 409 with 1.3 million k and everyone wants to drive that instead of the 610s and 410s
Og and don't get the bendix collision mitigation system it will drive u nuts and u will want to push the truck over a cliff
