Kenworth has introduced its Certified Pre-Owned Program,which is exclusive to Kenworth dealers and Paccar Financial Used Truck Centers.
The new program offers customers quality, pre-owned and certified Kenworth Class 8 trucks in the U.S. and Canada. Qualifying trucks are late model and low mileage and will come standard with engine and aftertreatment warranty coverage.
Each Certified Pre-Owned truck must pass a 150-point inspection, which includes engine, aftertreatment, interior, exterior, chassis, electronics, and safety devices, and complete a road test. Each truck must be certified by a Kenworth dealer technician, carry DOT certification, and receive a full diesel particulate filter cleaning and an oil and filter change.
Customers will be able to search for Kenworth Certified Pre-Owned trucks on the Kenworth homepage. Information will include vehicle specifications, photos, and dealer location.
“Kenworth trucks are recognized and respected for their excellent quality, fuel efficiency, and durability,” said Kurt Swihart, Kenworth marketing director. “With the new program’s official launch in January 2017, truck buyers will receive a high level of confidence when buying pre-owned Kenworths that have undergone thorough inspections and are certified according to Kenworth’s high standards.”
