Kenworth – other models: the collective page of trucks outside the named ranges, from the long-nose W900 to the T370, six- and eight-cylinder engines of 6.7 to 14.6 litres displacement, 257 to 356 kW
This page gathers Kenworth trucks the register could not assign to a named range – among them the W900, the marque's long-nose classic, and the medium-duty T370. Kenworth, founded in 1923 in the US state of Washington and part of the commercial-vehicle group PACCAR since 1945, still builds its heavy trucks in Renton near Seattle and in Chillicothe, Ohio. The W900, with its long bonnet and upright grille, has been the flagship of American long-haul trucks since the 1960s, made famous by numerous films and haulier fleets; the T370 is a shorter-bonneted chassis for distribution and construction-site transport.

The register lists here 10 versions with 257 to 356 kW from six- to eight-cylinder engines of 6,700 to 14,600 cm³, unladen weights from 5,560 to 11,500 kg, gross weights from 11,900 to 23,144 kg, lengths from 5,800 to 11,000 mm and widths from 2,450 to 2,600 mm.
Kenworth ranks alongside Peterbilt, also a PACCAR brand, and Freightliner among the best-known truck makers of North America; the W900 remains sought after among long-haul drivers and fleet operators for its individual configurability despite its age, while ranges such as the T370 are tailored to municipal and construction-site use.
On these vehicles, rust on the frame and cab suspension, the condition of the engine and gearbox (often Cummins or PACCAR engines with manual Eaton-Fuller gearboxes), the condition of the brake system and, on tractor units, the fifth wheel count; parts run through the Kenworth and PACCAR dealer network.
