The new generation 2.1m wide cab models pair the best of Kenworth’s history of design evolution with technology to make customers and operators the world’s best truck.
Greater versatility
Unrivalled versatility plus a wide range of additional features and enhancements—that’s what you can expect from the new generation T420 and T420SAR. The new aerodynamic T420 with its set-back front axle for maximum manoeuvrability is productive and comfortable. While the new T420SAR with its classic Kenworth styling has a set-forward front axle for optimal weight distribution in a variety of heavy-duty applications.
Endless applications
The new generation T420 and T420SAR are designed for use in rigid, single and multi-trailer configurations with a choice of day and sleeper cab options. Their short bumper-to-back-of-cab lengths and low tare weight enable larger payloads across a wide range of applications, including vocational, intrastate and interstate distribution, and tipper and dog.
