"Customers can put more weight on the front ends in fuel hauling, dump, mixer, utility and crane applications," said Kurt Swihart, Kenworth’s marketing director. "This also allows more payload in a shorter BBC truck package — something our vocational customers will find attractive."
The package includes a heavy duty, cross-brace reinforced front frame assembly with bolted cross members and either 10-3/4-inch frame rails or 10-5/8-inch frame rails with inserts. Iron hubs, drum brakes, and dual-power steering gears, along with a power steering cooler, are part of the spec package.
