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.
