Kenworth To Offer Hendrickson Primaax EX Rear Air Suspension

Kenworth will offer the Hendrickson Primaax EX rear air suspension for the Kenworth T270 and T370 front-drive-axle-equipped medium-duty models.

The announcement was made in conjunction with The Work Truck Show, which runs this week in Indianapolis.

"The Hendrickson Primaax EX really fits well with Kenworth's T270 and T370 4x4 trucks introduced last summer," said Judy McTigue, Kenworth director of marketing planning and research.

The Primaax EX suspension is ideal for vocational and severe duty applications, says Kenworth. The suspension is designed for extreme durability, exceptional component life, and excellent ride by reducing road shock from rugged terrain for less wear and tear on the driver, truck and equipment, according to Hendrickson.

The suspension, which has a 15.5-inch ride height, will be available to Kenworth medium-duty customers in ratings of 23,000 pounds and 26,000 pounds with a single rear axle.
