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
@@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 (
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..
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 ❓
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
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"
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.
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
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)
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.
Almost perfect, I like the tripac better then the espar. For the first time in my 21 years of driving my new employer put me in an automated transmission. I hated it the first couple months but now I love it. This truck with the automated 12 speed auto wouldn’t be horrible. I have that same mattress.
I'm Brazilian, in love with American brutes, an excellent truck, unfortunately I'm going to die without seeing one of these and others out there, congratulations ps. only on the american truck simulator
I’m so eager to get into my new T680 company truck… Kam-Way transportation is such a Great company , wonderful staff and I mean EVERYONE, and the Owners are outrageously generous and down to earth kind.
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?
Love the new look they are awesome. Andy, you didn’t show us the passenger seat swivel and isn’t the top box inside the fridge a freezer? Love the video
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.
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?
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.
Kenworth is definitely the Alfa Romeo of American heavy trucks it is so good looking and I don’t know how to say this from a truck, it looks somehow “sporty”.
Looks good for a newer truck. Never really liked the big windshields on newer trucks. . Sat in the T680 my brother was driving once. Felt like the whole world could see me, no thank you.
Gorgeous truck for light haul work. Absolutely top-notch. Does Kenworth realize how gorgeous this interior would be if they made black as an option instead of grey or tan? Man, that colour with all black interior would be gorgeous. I remember back in 98 when you get a completely black interior. Love the new wood grain.
I have to ask do you have any issues with the windshield bottle getting hit by road debris? Beautiful truck. My uncle drove a 2020 Kenworth T680 and loved the truck
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.
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
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 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.
What a absolutely stunning truck the seat and door panel combination works so well and the lcd display is a huge step forward and it's so good to see a manual gearbox and the bunk area is stunning just wish we could run kenworths here in the UK if you ever need a test driver I'm only a few hours on a aircraft away 😀 cracking video and we need some model trucks ,merchandise etc best wishes from a very jealous trucker in the UK 🇬🇧
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.

The black leather and that stitching! So nice! Kw knows how to interior
I’ve already seen 6 of these here in Virginia. Absolutely love the new look and it looks bold and aggressive looking as it’s heading towards you.
Agreed!

God these new kenworths are beautiful, the flowing of the fenders looks like a mcclaren, hands down the best looking new trucks
Beautiful with Manual transmission.
Love the interior.
Swear the intro is one of the best parts of your showcases.
Truly an exceptional truck!
Love the big turn signal on the fender!
Nice redesigned door cards!
Nice living space.
Very nice truck ! With a 13 speed, what a treat !
my company bought 10 of the 680s. So far Im pretty sure the mechanics have made more off them than we have
Just started a new company today, they issued me the 2022. I love it.

Glad you enjoyed it
I've been seeing these on the road, Didn't know they were the T680 still. I really dig the design here. The T680 no longer looks outdated
The Frontooks waaay etter with LED blacked lights, It's in my opinion the best looking modern American truck Yet!
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..
The steering wheel knobs suck when your turning.
Changes the settings when turning.
They should have a lockout switch on the buttons
From the front, with that chrome on the bumper and headlights, it looks like it has an evil smirk.
HAHA. Nice
