james j neiweem Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Nice looking truck. Hats off to Paccar. Its about time. Just when they were getting their T 800 to look respectable. I'll bet you can get big bore power in that baby as an option.

nwfs600 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 X15 @1850 torque. If you want 2050 torque you have to have a T800 or W900. Engineers at MATS said they are working on a bigger cooling package but didn't have a date for release. I test drove 2 880's and a short hood W900 on the same day. The 880 seems to be nice. The W900 was nice inside and as quiet as the 880. Plenty of choices at Paccar.

tjc transport Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 this is supposed to be the last year for the T-800. the T-880 is now close to 4 years old. it is a pleasure to drive, and will boogie along with both the 500HP or 550 hp engines. even with all the pollution controls. without the pollution crap the 500HP is ridiculous with an 18 speed. just removing the pollution controls on a 2015 triaxle dump a friend netted a 3 mile per gallon increase from 4 MPG to 7MPG. the 2016 we have has the 550HP engine and an Allison automatic. it is averaging 5 MPG. it now has a little under 22,000 miles on it. empty it will pull away from most cars off a light if you feel like standing on it. loaded at 80,000 lbs it still walks away from my 05 T-800 with 500HP C-15 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

kscarbel2 Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Focus On the Kenworth T880S Today’s Trucking / October 4, 2017 The new T880S from Kenworth made its debut in March 2017, and already it's getting more order activity than the trucks it will eventually replace. That suggests customer acceptance of this new chassis is pretty strong. To see what all the excitement is about, Equipment editor Jim Park took a couple of different trucks for a spin on a recent trip to Kenworth's Seattle, Washington headquarters. .
