that interior is next level, I didn't know kenworth made them this nice since nobody ever buys the highest trim levels. Those seats look like heaven when you think about how much you will using them😅
Hey Kenworth guy since you are have a pretty good following..... I purchase a new t680 apparently the Kim system is 1/4 the way installed..... AutoStart switch, thermostat control unit, extra fuel tank supports to move the tank back...... The housing and exhaust and wiring for the espar heater.... Apparently from what I was told there were shortages and they were unable to install the entire system nor the espar heater.... Oh I almost forgot I have the switches for the automatic start and intelligent cruise radar system but none of the components were installed due to the same apparent reason..... I understand that the Kim system is a factory only installation option but is there anyway I could possibly have the system a dealership and installed....
a very nice-looking truck, from the outside and inside. The most thing I liked is the air suspension system, the only thing I didn't like was that it has a paccar engine. I just ordered 2024 T680 with a Cummins X15, Tan Dimon interior so it will be more pleasant and light in the back. After seeing this video, I'll change the front axile from regular suspensions to air ride suspensions. Also, I'll add Torque Assisted Steering system to be the perfect package.
If I were a trucker, I'd definitely want a truck like this. But IMHO, I'd custom-make the grille, handles and everything that can be changed to carbon, add a second pipe, headache rack, aero kit and get rid of the chrome completely, even those stripes on the wheels. Plus a little tint.
Majority of the trucks focused on doing chrome on their trucks but nothing better than a blacked out truck. It's looks mean. That's why the company Nussbaum has the nicest looking trucks on the road in my opinion
Can you get full fenders for the rear tires from the factory. Also can we get more lighting on the sides and rear of the cab? Last question, how do we order the exact truck we want? Huntsville, Alabama.
Nice truck but two problems. Steering wheel can't be tilted to the front far enough like in other trucks. Don't get it why Kenworth is not able to do so. And the full electronic dashboard freezes. Already 76 000 units are due for recall. When they catch a driver with a frozen Instrument cluster they will fine the driver and place him out of service. Finally air ride at the front axle has arrived in North America . I like to know if it really takes out the rough bouncing out of the rear drive axle going over a railroad track. Has the front axle also those add. dampers?
AWESOME TRUCK! If it was my truck, I would have done more of a full blackout interior personally. But hey, I wouldn't complain if I was driving that rig daily myself so.
660 Studio Blows these newer models away. Had one for several years. Not much different than the W 900. In my 990 for almost a year now, Looks Great but lacking. The curtain always gets stuck in the drawer unless I secure it with the tie-down, kinda not favoring changing clotheswith the curtains open. The door seals aren't as tight as the old Bulkhead Doors of which happened to be one of the Biggest Feature Benefits of that era. The Aquarium Windshield has the Greenhouse Effect, Blinding Sun & extreme heat. More prone to cracks from road debris, had 1 Repair & 1 Replacement Already. The CB Radio position is in an awkward spot. Definitely designed by Engineers who never drove a Truck. I like the older instrument panel/dash configuration better & wasn't Cheaply constructed the narrower cab enabled superior visibility. Still better than all the Curb Sniffers out there, But, getting pretty close by Devolving. I was so looking forward to being among some of the first to Sport these impressive looking Kenworths. But having almost a 100 K miles to compare, I must say I'm not as impressed as I'd hoped to be. So summize KENWORTH HAS GONE THE WRONG WAY on these Cab Models. W 900 is the Only Contender in the Fleet. Just an opinion, but I'm quite sure I've got alot of company on this.
Absolutely stunning truck the black paintwork really adds presence to a already mean looking truck damn I wish we could run these kind of trucks over here in the UK 🇬🇧 as I would be writing a cheque to your good self cracking video as usual keep up the good work and merry Christmas from joff in the UK
Hey Joff, they look nice and have a bigger bunk but never can compete with european trucks due to a lot of small design flaws, which can bother a driver on a daily use, rough ride due to second drive axle and you don't sit as high as in an Actros , MAN or Scania. Greetings from Canada.
Do these truck have a shake side to side elimination for the cab 🤔if I have a midnight playful visitors!!!! Did kenworth came out with anything for that problem 🤔
It's going to look awesome. At least for the first 50k miles. Then every rock chip in that paint is going to make it look like one of those epoxy flake garage paint jobs.
Very nice truck ,i know from my friend its very economy engine, set up better then Volvo 780.From my experience last brake down. time to switch from Volvo to Kenworth Do we know price on 2023 Kenworth T 680?
Kenworth’s designs are more elevated than any other truck manufacturer in North America in my humble opinion. I only wish that they would step up their infotainment game add Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to their trucks. It would make life that much more pleasant for us.
Contest Christmas Dresden/Germany Hi Andy, thanks for sharing this treat with us, it absolutely looks stunning. Imagine hauling a black trailer with a golden horse on it ;-)
Great looking truck! Only a few things I’d change, rear brake light housing could be black and also the fuel tanks, air intake piping in the engine bay could be black too. Fun looking truck though
Contest Christmas from Rougemont Quebec love this new gen 680 and the only this missing on this one would've been dual stack on the back wish you and your family a wonderful holiday and to all truck driver watching 👍
There are a couple of T680s in my company with dual stacks; one high roof, one mid roof. On the high roof one cannot really see the stacks anyway, duals seem to be a waste of money and weight. I like the dual stacks on the midroof.
I think I like the layout of the storage better in this over the Peterbilt 579. But I like the dash in the 579 better hehe. I think KW and Peterbilt could take a leaf outta Volvo and Freightliners design on the overhead storage above the driver though. Be nice if the interiors on the higher trim levels were a bit more finished out.. More wood trim, pleather/leather, and such. Compared to modern commuter vehicles, all the hard plastic seems a couple decades behind. The textured plastic is about as bad as popcorn ceilings in houses, all the creases and crevices just increase surface area to collect dirt and grime. Even if its just a vinyl wrap or a vaneer, be better than bland grey or tan plastic.😅 Even cheapo RV interiors at least look better on the surface, and for the price of these new trucks I'd at least expect that much attention to detail.
that interior is next level, I didn't know kenworth made them this nice since nobody ever buys the highest trim levels. Those seats look like heaven when you think about how much you will using them😅
I like the foam upgrade
Its interesting...they opt out for paccar instead of cummins..
I have to say this has to be the nicest truck you made to this day. Love the Black and Tan contrast. It looks really sharp. Keep up the great work
Looks like a UPS truck.
😂
I had the same idea
😅
I agree I’m not as impressed as I thought I would be after the way he hyped it up
No
Nice truck. I know it's last but I'm watching from Johnston, SC
Really well laid out interior
I lov emy 2023 KW T680
Only got 15k miles on it
I love trucking right now!!!!
A Dark Knight should come with at least 600hp that probably a MX13 with a goofy shifting pattern.
Just seen a metro t-mobile ad on this video by I think Enrique Inglesias and was dressed exactly like this guy at the beginning of the video 🤣

That particular rig in all black puts Semi Casual Peterbilts to shame. KENWORTH RULES!!!!!
Whoa what dramatic introduction, I love it!

What do we do when the digital gauges don’t work isn’t there a speedometer or something we could see instead of a screen?
Majority of the trucks focused on doing chrome on their trucks but nothing better than a blacked out truck. It's looks mean. That's why the company Nussbaum has the nicest looking trucks on the road in my opinion
Well equipped, but could use a bunch of "Chicken Lights" down the sides for night time visibility. 🤠
I thought at first this was going to be a special truck and then I see the power train. Color is nice but having a good power train is important.
Can you get full fenders for the rear tires from the factory. Also can we get more lighting on the sides and rear of the cab? Last question, how do we order the exact truck we want? Huntsville, Alabama.
Beautiful truck! Only,,, it's missing the big red thing under the hood. 🤣🤣
My only gripe about kenworth so far, are the refrigerators
Watching from Australia 🇦🇺

I’ll stop wearing black when they make something darker.. Keri gets that, beautiful.
Beauty and great editing
I bought 2 t600s from TMC years ago. Best trucks I have bought hands down so far.
Now that is my type of chrome. Almost none and what it does have looks gooooood.....
Front lights gonna me krezi 🖤💪🏿.
Hello, how are you? I would like to know out of curiosity as soon as one of those trucks leaves in the US
AWESOME TRUCK! If it was my truck, I would have done more of a full blackout interior personally. But hey, I wouldn't complain if I was driving that rig daily myself so.
What a nice job on this truck. All it needs is a Knight Industry Two-Thousand trailer to haul behind it!

One thing the black on the side skirts looks better than any other color because it goes with the black plastic surround.

I am driving a 2021 KW T680 and totally enjoy OTR in it!
Looks great, sweet interior. Will be hard to see at night so safety might be an issue. Daytime driving it will be a looker.
Ainda n saiu 1 pra ultrapassar esse monstro, lindo d+.. disparado o melhor 👏👏👏
Beautiful truck. No hood mirrors??
Is the front airbag factory installed or aftermarket

I love the way the T680 has been set up. Thanks for taking the time and effort to highlight the Kenworth.
Since I realised DAF and Kenworth were both made by Paccar its very strange to notice how many parts in a DAF like I use are in a American truck.
It's going to look awesome. At least for the first 50k miles. Then every rock chip in that paint is going to make it look like one of those epoxy flake garage paint jobs.
The smiley piece under the grill should be lit up to go with the line lights from the headlights.
Fantastic looking rig.
Damn the editing in this videos is next level....love it...and the truck,its beautiful
Nice truck. Contest Christmas. Auburn, WASHINGTON.
Gorgeous!!!! X15 would've been better tho
all that show, and only 455 horsepower!!!! and 3.25 gears?? they'll be gone around 250k miles.
Very nice truck ,i know from my friend its very economy engine, set up better then Volvo 780.From my experience last brake down.
time to switch from Volvo to Kenworth
Do we know price on 2023 Kenworth T 680?
Do you have a heavy haul truck with drop axle video
Beautiful !!! 😍🤩😎
Would look great with the red Cummings
Would i be able to order one with a 260" wheelbase?
Kenworth’s designs are more elevated than any other truck manufacturer in North America in my humble opinion. I only wish that they would step up their infotainment game add Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to their trucks. It would make life that much more pleasant for us.
Nice looking truck
Nice looking truck. Going to be a full time job keeping all that black clean?
Vancouver, BC
Awesome video as usual.
Does this truck still use an internal combustion engine?
I prefer the old school chrome styling
Thanks for the video
Good job
How much leg room in the drivers seat. I’m 6ft4in. I move every seat in my trucks back at least 4 inches. Is that possible.
I just love this truck just sad there is nothing like this in France thanks for this video :)
Beautiful rig!.....Im actually starting with PB in January, looking forward to it!

Contest Christmas from Rougemont Quebec love this new gen 680 and the only this missing on this one would've been dual stack on the back wish you and your family a wonderful holiday and to all truck driver watching 👍
There are a couple of T680s in my company with dual stacks; one high roof, one mid roof.
On the high roof one cannot really see the stacks anyway, duals seem to be a waste of money and weight.
I like the dual stacks on the midroof.
will the 2024 T680 design be released soon? Heard it has major improvements for OTR drivers....

Very cool! I definitely get a knight rider vibe. 💪
I think I like the layout of the storage better in this over the Peterbilt 579. But I like the dash in the 579 better hehe. I think KW and Peterbilt could take a leaf outta Volvo and Freightliners design on the overhead storage above the driver though.
