- Sorry for the delay guys. We were at the hospital with Jen until almost 7pm last night. Enjoy the tour and the exterior tour will come when these gnats calm down.
From the looks at it the truck has that smart air system on it, it has it own set of batteries so when those batteries drop low enough the auto start will turn the truck on to recharged them that's the reason for the auto start
Very cool, looking forward to the external tour! Best of luck with it.
Very nice truck! it will make your trips much more enjoyable. Say hi to Donna! Have a great weekend!
Nice truck be safe on the road. And you show the bunk where the heater controls are you are correct that is tied in to your start up system upfront turn the heat up it can start the truck back up. If you turn it back down to hot it will shut that truck off. Congratulations on the truck. Be safe out there. I’m also a trucker.
Thanks for the tour. Looks like a great vehicle for you. Has a lot of home features since this is your home away from home. Keep on trucking.
We think it is going to work out great.
Looks identical to my 2019. They are great trucks, and a pleasure to drive. A couple small things to warn you about. The handle on the fridge breaks very easily, so be gentle with it. Just last week I had mine replaced at a dealer. The light over the work table can be blown out with a static charge from your finger in the cold dry months. Make sure you touch something solid metal before turning on a light. Same goes for the small wall mounted bunk lights. When you climb out of a front seat and move to the rear of the truck, you have a nice charge built up. Finally, be careful with the arm rests. Push too hard on them and they will break. I managed to break one and got it replaced under warranty, but out of warranty they're almost $300 each. Good luck and drive safe out there.
Thanks for the tips 👍
Glad you were able to replace your other truck with such a new truck. Many, many safe miles!
Thank you for the tour of the new truck.
Good video very informative keep creating this much needed info for first time owner operators.
I'm switching to a 2020 Kenworth with my company by the end of this month. Very nice truck!
Congratulations on your new truck and its nice to see you 2 keep it clean on the inside.
It will remain clean. We can't stand a filthy truck.
Thank you very much for very good explanation and showing that truck . Love it!!!
C
WOW. It's too amazing. It's like a house
Very impressive truck. Happy for both of you.
Thank you
Wow congratulations double d/d safe travels out there.
Nice truck 🚚
Enjoy it and keep it safe ✌
Nice video bro. It’s nice to hear clear words and someone that doesn’t slur their words.
Looks great, thanks for sharing..
The hill start assist button can be turned off for backing up, I can only speak for cascadia but I'd assume they're all similar, but with the cascadia the HSA will eventually overheat the clutch if your backing in a tight space that has a slight hill so the HSA will keep holding and then overheat, by habit I turn it off all the time now so I can roll back instead of the creep mode taking over while bscking and haul ass
9:04 I have onboard cams installed on my cars and motorcycle and it has lead to a lot of cases of me learning from myself as well as catching whacky stuff I see around town while driving, mostly other bad drivers. I don't go anywhere without it now.
NICE!! I’m in a T660 which is due to be retired August. And I’m looking forward to a new T680. Enjoy the new wheels!!
Thank you.
Like your truck. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Thanks for watching Jesse 👍
I’m jealous we didn’t have that shit
When I drove. Makes life easier on the
Road . Good luck too u guys.
It makes life much easier, that's for sure.
FINALLY A THOROUGH tour!!
Awe no track mode switch jk very beautiful truck. Can tell you keep it very clean and care a lot about your truck. Too many people get new trucks and just trash them 😔
Very nice truck have a great day.
Thanks and same to you. 👍
Great review.
Awesome truck
Thanks Kevin.
Learned a lot, thank you!
Awesome!!
Gorgeous Truck...
Love the truck you guys deserve it hope you like it also
Thank you. We like it so far.
Hi Donna & Dean!! Very nice guys!! Dean you like to make things in your wood shop maybe you can make something for the space at the foot of the bed!! Just an idea. Be nice to see you back on the road. Good night 🌙
I've already considered that actually. Something with dividers would be nice.
Trucking with Double D's Great minds think alike!! Don’t know what time zone you are in but my zone says it’s time for bed. Good night 😴🌙
Lane sensor radar is a pain. Have 2019 kw t680. Auto.
Very cool
Nice ride.
I always thought of the fifth wheel release switch as a middle launch switch lol
Very nice TK. Myself I like red lights help save your night vision. Frig I didn't like at all, but its more personal type complaint. I just thinking all times I sleep in day cab all night long many nights. Tk like that I thought I died went to Heaven back in 70's & 80's.
I like the reds also. The fridge is awful small compared to our volvo. We're hoping we can get what we need in there for 6 to 10 days. I don't think so though. Pretty sure we're going to have to stop mid way through and shop.
auto start is a bunk heater/ac runs off of 4 batteries, when those batteries get low it auto starts to charge them back up. same exact set up as my pete 579 Epiq
Very nice truck Dean hope it makes you a lot of money and your dream comes true to move to Arizona God bless on the road say hi to Donna
Thanks Scott!
Damn dude, that's like a BMW. Way back in my trucking days I had a 1989 KW with a 18 speed trans.
It's a nice ride, for sure.
Did anyone ask to hear your old bastard stories?
@@vitalyjohnson3514 I admire you. You don't let your shortcomings get in the way of your confidence. "You are educated beyond your intelligence", however Psychological projection is a defense mechanism people subconsciously employ in order to cope with difficult feelings or emotions.
you lack integrity and need to re-examine yourself and where you are in your life and society.
Nice new truck... you have "beauty for ashes" (no pun intended; biblical reference). Praying for God's blessings for you. Hopefully insurance covered your stuff that was lost. God bless you. Pastor Dean, Christian Life Church, Kissimmee FL.
Hi if you have your cruise on be careful because your truck will brake hard if it thinks there is something happen thats the one bad thing . Love your truck...
That's exactly what it did the other day. Scared the crap out of us.
Im running a 17 T680 and the max switch on HVAC is for when you hit fog or freezing rain, you hit that and it sends max air to windshield. I don't care for the wiper system on the T680 compared to a volvo. Hopefully your cabinets don't squeak as you drive down the road it nearly drives a person insane. It seemed to get better after time though.
So far so good on the cabinets... But it is new, so time will tell. I will definitely be fixing that, if it does. I am OCD about squeaks and rattles. Thanks for the tip on the Max setting 👍
Thanks for the video! What camera system are you using? Thanks!
Very nice
Nice truck nice video, we still built the best in the usa, pull toy here.
Wait until your on ice, going down hill and the collision avoidance system detects a brake light and locks the brakes up. It will cause you to slide down the hill real quick. I did that as I was checking the mirror to change lanes.
I'm not 100% on that thing. My wish is that it didn't have it at all especially with us doing the majority of our driving in the mountains.
Trucking with Double D's do all the new trucks come with it?
hi like your truck tour
Good tour. Do the seats 💺 swivel?
Hello there,,how much was the camera system,, and where did you get.. please and thank you if you don't mind me asking..
Nice!
Wow, nice set up. Whats the cameras and is that something you did or did it come on the truck?
Very nice Truck! The sit's texture (not leather) is optional?
My fav t680
w900 all the way
W9's are also nice. We ran a 4900 WS Glidet for a while and it was a nice ride too.
Is there a lot of head room if sitting on bottom bed and the bed up top?
Where is the turning knob for on your left side of the stereo
That fifth wheel switch, is it for the sliding mechanism or the locking jaws? Don’t judge me lol I’m new at all this
What is the name of your camera system, and where did you buy it?
Looks just like my 2017 lol.
To clarify... that’s a fifth wheel slide lock to allow you to slide fifth wheel not uncouple from trailer.
No, it is to uncouple from the trailer, not slide the 5th wheel. We have a permanent mounted 5th wheel.
I appreciate the Tour of your really nice Kenworth T680; But I was wondering if it comes with A Drop Down Ladder to Get To The Top Bunk Area? That was the only thing that wasn't covered in your Tour from what I could tell. Great Video Though. Love It!!!!☺
It doesn't have the drop down ladder. You just step on the bed and then on the cabinet to the right to get on the top bunk.
@@TruckingwithDoubleDs Okay Thanks!!! I appreciate The Quick Response!!! Stay Safe Out There Brother!!!!☺
With the auto start how often does it come on, and does it shut off on its own?
Question
Why so many cameras?
Especially on the mirrors next to the antennas?
Just wondering
Grats on the new truck! Did you keep truck # 1741 like the Volvo? Should have your new KW made for American Truck Simulator.
No. Every truck is numbered according to the year and when it is ordered. In our case, truck number is 2003. It is a 2020 model and the 3rd one ordered. We were the first ones in the fleet to get a 2020 model. 👍😁
Could I get some info on those cameras we pick our truck January and want these
how has this truck been in service?
Hi dean. really nice truck hope you guys are happy with it and you make a lot of money with it say hi to donna for me and all my hopes and preyers still go out to you guys
Your DM most not like me, never got my hat but thanks for the shout out sent it to all my friends. Drive safe.
What the size limit on the TV mount
17:19 my moms Prius had that feature but it was a white light
2016 is better. Why did they make it worse. My fridge has two dividers and I have two windows. I am changing lease companies. Thanks for the video. I didn't even notice the glove compartment. Does your seat swivel?
Do you feel this truck is big enough for two people?
Cameras intervenes with your privacy . When off duty on your bed and eating , changing etc.
Max is for windshield defrost
Nice truck badi
Nice truck. How did u mount GPS RMN to the panel?
I removed all the mounting hardware from the GPS and used gorilla double stick tape to mount it to the dash.
I'm amazed that in this day and age people still don't know what the deal is with a "Max AC" switch. Well I'm gonna tell you. It just runs your AC in recirculate mode. As in when the Max AC is engaged, the system is recirculating the air inside the cab of the truck instead of pulling air from the outside. It's really quite simple people. So now you know.
That being said... This is a pretty sweat ass rig. I've always been partial to Kenworth tractors.
Will you share you camera system
I’m definitely interested in a similar set up
The system we use to make videos for TH-cam or the drive camera system?
2019 here just got it today, 12 miles on it. But no Jake's! And I'm not sure why they wanted 13 speeds? I like it, but I'm so use to 10.. so I have to forget all I learned
13 is nice in the mountains
I absolutely love 13 speeds. I'll trade ya for our 12 speed auto anyday. 👍😉
Why can’t they figure a way to put a composte toilet in these trucks ?
Its an automatic right not manual?
Did you delete the DEF? If not then its junk!
I 've seen the 680s have a swivel passenger seat. Does yours?
Unfortunately no. That was the first thing I looked for. Lol
And all my hopes and preyers to jen i hope she gittes feeling better
Thank you Ronald!
Anytime my friend
Which engine did you get; Cummings or Pachard
Paccar.
What is Hummmer doing with the Volvo??
I'm not sure if it is up for trade yet or if they will be reassigning it.
Do they make manual transmission trucks anymore?
I think they will be special order before long
We don't even have a cup holder in our 2006 Sterling
Wow not hating but your company didn't select a lot of options. Just rode in a buddies 2020 O/O spec 680 and doesn't even look like the same truck.
Yeah, companies don't go all out on options unfortunately. It'd be nice if they did.
why aint you made videos
is it your truck or the cmpany?
Company truck.
Drive, Neutral, Reverse? Thats an automatic truck? Interesting. I think I need to drive automatic trucks. Drove manual 10 speeds for USX in 2013, yeah, I just never quite got a proper hang of the up and down shifting. I lasted all of 4 months, spent way to much time focusing on getting the shifting correct, that my attention was not outside the truck and paying attention to the trailer like I should have been. Never mind the few times I out right stalled the truck going up steep hills. Had a close call once when I went up a hill, pretty well stalled out, and just got the truck going again and to a section with 2 lanes, when a truck with a pair of double trailers flew by me goin hella fast.
Yep it's a 12 speed auto. Donna was the same way, she spent all her time concentrating on shifting rather than where she was going. It's much better with an auto for her.
What gps do you use?
We use the rand mcnally 730, for now.
I do not like CMS at all in winter driving, its an accident waiting to happen... Nice ride...
I'm wondering how it'll do in the snow.
I thought hummer did better than that on their trucks. That one is stripped down compared to mine. I see their trucks all the time at Pepsi.
They are pretty stripped down. They do have some options, but not many. I'd love to see an upgraded seat, at least on the driver's side.
- Oh get used to that ridiclous collision mitagtion deal, I HATE it, But no worries all in the name of safety of course! LOL
- FRONT FACING camera is great, If they turned the other way nooooo chance!
- They still doing the bubble sheet for paperwork? so tedious lol
Inward facing, I would be out the door. No question. Yes, still doing bubble sheet. We send it through TRANSFLO mobile so it's not to bad.
@@TruckingwithDoubleDs YESSSSS, I did everything though my phone! CAT scale weigh, Transflo mobile, I do Pilot fueling and showers through my phone lol makes life so much easier! Now with Ruan we have to fill out a packet as we go and turn that in
Same here with our phone.
8.6 mpg
Pretty close. Been running 8.2 back from Idaho with 43k in the box.
The truck is nice though, just not a fan of automatics.
Get hired and get a new truck. Making videos must be doing good for you. I've been there over a year & can't get a new one
Not to be ungrateful, but we would have preferred to have stayed in the Volvo. We were told they were trading off the Volvo and that's why we had to go in to the new one. It wasn't by choice.
