Kenworth had some of the most advanced technology in truck manufacturing, like piano hinge doors, & a grille, that doubled as the A/C condensor. Love the W-9's!

@cavscout62 4 года назад

Spent many, many a mile in my W900B pulling a 11,500 water gallon Propane Tank. It was a 60” Flattop Sleeper model with a 3406B 425 turned 10% over stock with a Fuller 13 speed and .355’s. I kick myself every day for selling that baby. I’d give my right nut to have that tractor back! BTW, this video didn’t tell me a single thing I didn’t already know. For the record, I hate the way the 990 looks.😎

They stopped k models in the USA long time ago. 2000s early on I belive.the video said 04 but I honestly haven't ever seen one newer than a mid 90s that was done up. I love those old k100s...bad ass trucks....my friens had a stretched out k100 series areodyne , the bunkbed cabover w the rabbit ear sleeper. It was a Rip Griffin -Bekins van lines truck. Had a huge drombox on the back so it was stretched way out. It was HUGE! Like 270 r 280 I think....for a cabover that's GIGANTIC

Forgot to mention the unique Kenworth W900SAR. Engineered and built in Australia to suit our tough conditions. Released in 1975. SAR stands for Short ( bonnet) Australian Right-hand drive. A tough as nails truck and a legend here in Australia.

W900B was first released in September of 1982. It is still in production, as is the L model variation, the T800, and C500B. The B model never had a long-hood option. The L model was first available in 1989. The T660 and W900S have been discontinued. The A, B, H, L, and S are conventional models. The C, E, F, and G models are cabovers. Therefore, if someone says they have an A-model Kenworth, they have a 1961 - mid '82 conventional. If they said they had a C model, that's a '61 - mid '83 cabover.

@hunterstanfield7100 2 года назад

there were a few long hood Bs actuallyp

@UnionThugg 2 года назад

@@hunterstanfield7100 no, there were no "long hood" B models. From late '82 until late '89, the only W900 was the 120" BBC. The T600 and T800 were also 120" BBC at that time. The C500A and C500B were available with several different variations, but those were mostly for PTO accommodations ahead of the grille (those models had straight frame rails, so they were offered with longer BBC's for PTO's or winches, etc.

@MikeBrown-ii3pt 4 года назад

# 11) The W-9 has the highest hood in the industry. I almost bought a W-9 years ago, but, I decided to stick with Freightliner and bought a Classic XL instead. The reason being that I couldn't stand up from the drivers seat and walk right into the bunk in the KW while I can in my Classic. I might be able to in a W-9 with a studio, but, they just look funny to me. In my eyes, my Classic with the 84" condo looks more integrated than the KW with a studio.

@randyruppel6727 4 года назад

T800 high hood is up there too. Very squared off.

@waynewilliams5353 4 года назад

That just sounds like bad taste. A classic over a W900? 🤮 I started with a classic when I bought my first truck only because I couldn’t afford a W900. As soon as it got me money in the bank.....I bought something with a little more class. 2014 W900L studio glider with a 288” wheelbase

@MikeBrown-ii3pt 4 года назад

Wayne Williams You're entitled to your opinion and I'm not going to argue with you. The only thing I know for certain is that I love my Classic and it's still on the road every day. My first tractor was a used FLD12064. When I bought my Classic, I COULD afford a W-9. I chose the Classic for the reasons I described in my original comment.

I have a quick question drivers', what is the purpose of the two sticks that stick up and out to the side of the front as shown in 1:50 timeline? Thankyou

@reptarr28 4 года назад

3596Bt They are called bumper guides. They allow drivers to spot the corners of their bumper from inside the cab which makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces

@gullreefclub 4 года назад

3596Bt They have many names from “Bumper Finders” to “Acorn Sticks” there purpose is so that “steering wheel holders” as opposed to “drivers” can see where the front bumper (end) as opposed to know where the front bumper is if you get my meaning.

@7viewerlogic670 4 года назад

" Rookie Rods"

@blackdog1960les 4 года назад

they are also called "training wheels" --- back in the late 70's into the mid 90's they where very common on large cars

@waynewilliams5353 4 года назад

Idk why people are calling them “guide rods”. They are ROOKIE STICKS for people that don’t know where the end of their hood and corner of their bumpers are when turning. That’s their purpose

blackdog1960les it is a very sad day. I’m 28 and own a W900L studio. I literally get asked by drivers every day why I would want something with a hood like that and a 288” wheelbase. I’ll keep my hood and my 18 speed. Piss on these ugly as hell fleet trucks and their autos
