Test Drive: Kenworth's New T880
Handles inside and out make for a safe climb into the wider aluminum cab, and triple door seals shut out noises.
The T880's cab is 8 inches wider and the hood's sculpted lines are smoother than what have been seen for 27 years on T800.
The Paccar MX-13 is standard, and this one has a top rating of 500 horsepower and 1,850 pounds-feet.
This factor photo shows the gracefully curved single-piece instrumental panel with white-on-black gauges and rocker switches.
The new steering gear set up provides up to 9 degrees of additional wheelcut, making this 189-inch wheelbase extremely maneuverable.
Everything the driver needs is close by and well presented. Real-time fuel economy is displayed front and center.
