imagine if Kenworth could get their website out of the 90's and have a build your truck option that spit out an immediate price without having to call a salesman for every upgrade or downgrade? just imagine...
I drive a Kenworth T680 with an X15 500 HP Cummins. I bought it brand new in August 2018. The model is a 2019. Now with 390,540 miles. I wanted to buy a new 2022 and sell this one...... Even my sales agent said. TRUCKS ARE OVER PRICE RIGHT NOW. I paid $142,500 now is $280,000 for a 2022 model. It should be at no more then $165,000 an increase of about $5,300 per year that is normal. For a $280,000 it is crazy !!! I will wait till there is enough trucks to keep a fair price..... ( I am a 30+ OTR Experience Driver, I know what I am talking about ) If you buy now you will lose money when time to resale it... hold down to your 💰
After living the life of an OTR truck driver for 22 years and am now on my blissful retirement (finally) I am thankful but yet still surprised that I lasted as long as I did, how I did it I'll never know. If I can attribute it to anything it would be that it was my first job out of the military and I had this "Never Quit" attitude. After my 1st year as a company driver, I became an O/O my first rig? Kenworth T2000. That was a good truck, Hulk green pulling loads with a 425 CAT up the grapevine. Good Times. I made a lot of good friends along the way. Good job Mr. Knewworth Guy.
Love the fact that Andy is like a small child getting a present he always wanted on Christmas when he reviews these trucks he makes me seriously consider buying a kenworth as my first truck
In this video s beginning, there is a blue kenworth truck in the background, hopefully you can do a video on it.( pretty sure it has a crane arm on it)
Didn't show swivel seat lol ordered one just like it except carbon black aluminum greasless fifth wheel aluminum hubs 13400 airride front axle. Interior same except Grey upper 8 speeker with sub and amp deleted upper bunk for cabinets did a grass burner exhaust and had to delete aspire heater for I can put in the rear window I believe 22×32 inch that does open. Going to put apu on afterwards. Also paccar 510 1850 with 12 speed automatic and 264 rears
Were the rear brakes disc as well❓ & is the chassis, (frame rails) treated w/ the zinc pre-paint rust prohibitor coating❓ Not sure of PACCAR option name ❓
Is Kenworth gonna make it with the studio couch version since they stopped production of the anteater..I loved the anteater..ever since I started trucking back in 86..hated they stopped making it..
Okay, I'll agree that it looks nice.........but how does it ride? All other KW T680s ride like a tank. What have they done to improve the ride quality? Any new bags or new suspension components?
@@LongHaulRego458 I drive a manual and it doesn't bother me in traffic. Atleast I know what gear I should be in. An autoshift races to the top gear and has a heck of a time pulling cus it luggs for 3 miles
Great job Andy as usual. Beautiful truck. I'm glad to see the manual transmission. Great Interior colors. I'm retired as of the first of the year. Makes me want to hit the road again but like anything else Great things come to an end. Your friend (Shoey) God bless (
I'd really like it if KW did a ladder for the top bunk. As a team driver, having to get up there as it is can become what I refer to as " operation jungle gym"
Please tell me that there is a camera option to replace the Spot Mirrors. Since the hood is so narrow at the front, the spot mirrors look big and goofy.
No where. Maybe in 2023 if Paccar ever "figures out" how to keep it on the road, their so back logged just for parts for already built trucks... that might tell u somthing. Everything that moves breaks, but not everything shold break all the time to the point Paccar had 8-12 week wait times just for sensors! Go ahead and order one from factory, salesman will tell you 3 months, with Paccar motor and 6-8 months with Cummins ... it will be a year, maybe 9 months if u wanna put your livelihood in paccars hands. Love my KW. Been in a W9 and customed out T660 my whole driving career.. kenworth is best truck by far, But this ain't a KW it's just a Paccar with kenworth plastic around it. It's nice kenworth plastic! best plastic in the industry? Lol
I was in a Kenworth dealership the other day and there was a guy with one this new generation t680 and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with that truck transmission, and the guy told me that he had the truck in another dealership for a few days and weren't able to fix there.
That’s one beautiful truck, love the upgraded interior. My boss has ordered W990’s for the coming year, looking forward to that. Was the 660 discontinued?
I have the same interior package in my 2019, the only difference is the LED display.. The main problem with this particular setup is storage.. Do yourself a favor and opt for the top bunk, that’s where you’ll be storing your gear.
How can you put 4 load locks in the tray with the hoses holder is in it ...DAA Plus, in a sharp turn uphill, { like in Vancouver} the trailer will rip the hoses splitter. It's too far back Should have been mounted on the side of the frame. Been there done that
How much is a replacement headlight lens or assembly if you break one ? I love the idea of great LED lights, but I'm guessing they are ultra expensive. You know that a light will get broken in the lifetime of the truck.
I wish they would've used Velcro or snaps on the sleeper curtains, even the big curtain behind the seats. Not a fan of how much light can get through both of them during sunny days.
That truck is beautiful Kenworth continues to makes some awesome trucks love Kenworth trucks great video keep up the awesome videos Andy say Andy I have a ? Will Kenworth ever come back out with the cab over truck
im looking to buy new on with 605 cummins 18 speed big tanks and tri pack not sure what model to go with I have t680 now cant stand the cup holders being on my leg all the time not sure if all the plastic crap is worth it on new trucks as far a fuel economy my 485 gets 5.4 mpgs my 01 387 peet got 6.3 spending so much money to get unreliable truck way to much epa crap on it this will be my last truck as well so id like to make it look sharp not sure what to get
Just a little info to everyone. My best friend has bought a new gen t680. I haven't because of the fuel tank and I can't get full skirts. His dash has went out 2 times . I believe that's going to be a long term problem for these trucks.
Is it possible for you to do a video on the next GEN with a 52 inch sleeper my company is looking at getting some 52 inch sleepers and I’d like to see a video of what the interior looks like please and thank you
Great walkthrough of the truck, and I really like what you are producing. I know in producing my own short videos the amount of work that goes into these longer videos. Thank you for all your hard work.
Very nice T680. I wish you could get comparable trucks from all other truck makers and do an apples to apples comparison, the T680 would come out on top, Volvo would be dead last, not just dead last, but a very distant dead last.
first of all good day. total weight 38 tons. What is the fuel consumption of 100 km? 13L. or 16L. 500-600 horsepower. 6 cylinders. 0 km only truck engines how much.? thanks.
Love it, beautiful. I can't wait for my company to get next gen 680's... won't be anywhere loaded like this, but still be nice I hope. We are patiently waiting for model year 22's to arrive, I guess KW is back logged with orders cuz they can't get parts... when will the current 680 design be phased out, 23 model year?
The old style T680 was phased out this year in favour of the Next Gen. I think the last on line were this past month. Ordered last spring. April 1st was official order dates on the Next Gen when they became available. Some customers got a few orders in on the old style at that time and were asked if they would like to get the new one.
Hard to consider buying a new one when I get parts for my 3 year old trucks sitting. What are they going to do with the shortages of def quality sensors? Sold out nationwide. 0 available.

Disc brakes all round .

The steering wheel knobs suck when your turning.
Changes the settings when turning.
They should have a lockout switch on the buttons
Truly an exceptional truck!
Love the big turn signal on the fender!
Nice redesigned door cards!
Nice living space.
The black leather and that stitching! So nice! Kw knows how to interior
