Kenworth’s T880’s Techy Interior Complements its Tough Exterior

IT’S THE BRAWN … AND THE BRAINS

There is one truck that can do it all: bulk tractor, tanker, dump truck, mixer, heavy hauler, refuse truck, and logger. The Kenworth T880 is a dependable, versatile vehicle capable of performing your toughest jobs, day in and day out, and is designed at its core with the strength, stamina, and operating economy you need to move your business ahead..

TOUGH MEETS TECH

The T880 runs on your choice of PACCAR MX engines or a Cummins ISX15. With an output range of 380 to 500 hp and 1,400 to 1,850 lb-ft of torque, the 12.9-L PACCAR MX-13 engine delivers increased hp and torque for the heavier loads. The 10.8-L, 6-cylinder, in-line PACCAR MX-11 engine is perfect for weight sensitive pickup and delivery, offering an output range of 355 to 430 hp and 1,250 to 1,550 lb-ft of torque. The ISX15 features 485-605 hp and 1650-2050 lb-ft of torque for maximum loads.

Superior design and engineering helps you stay on the road logging revenue miles. That subtle distinction will make a big difference to your operation. Durable state-of-the-art materials, reliable, long-lived components with less frequent service intervals, and easier-to-repair innovative engineering combine to make the T880 perhaps the most productive truck you’ve ever owned.

The T880 features best-in-class, complex reflector headlamps, designed to give you the greatest visibility for nighttime or early morning work. The panoramic windshield, extra-large side mirrors, and optional triple rear windows increase visibility from all angles. The easy-to-close, aluminum doors seal out the elements and noise as you sit comfortably on air suspension seats that automatically adjust to your weight. Air filtration systems in the T880 can withstand high-dust environments, adding additional comfort to your ride at the most intense worksites.

TECH GETS TOUGHER

The T880 employs a suite of ingenious technologies and design features that elevate the driving experience to new heights of safety, efficiency, and satisfaction.

Real-time information is a must-have for any fleet, but good information isn’t the only thing the new Kenworth Driver Performance Center offers. The quality and clarity of the information is displayed on T880’s five-inch full color, high-resolution screen. Truck diagnostics and performance indicators alert the driver. Trip details and multi-route comparisons allow maximum performance every day.

Kenworth’s Driver Performance Assistant module monitors and scores driving technique to encourage behavior that supports better fuel economy and longer brake life. The system coaches improvements by showing drivers how to best optimize the truck’s performance: by coasting longer, using the engine brake, anticipating the road ahead, and braking with less force.

Eaton UltraShift Plus is available in T880 models, which offers Hill Start Aid, creep modes, auto neutral, and engine and clutch over speed protection. UltraShift Plus transmissions are ideal for reliability and performance, employing grade sensing, weight computation, and drive throttle commands.

TECH GETS PERSONAL

The NAV+ HD in-dash display acts as your own personal assistant. With a simple touch—or command—to the high-resolution, color screen, you have direct access to a full range of valuable and productive features, including truck-specific navigation, roadside assistance, vehicle data, hands-free phoning, audio controls, blind-spot camera inputs, and the internet.

NAV+ HD is the first system in the industry to offer optimized routes customized to your truck parameters and your load. With Google Chrome, choose from results and suggestions that appear as you type, including your recent searches and visited websites, while Autofill lets you complete forms with just one tap.

NAV+ HD makes adding a camera system quick and easy. Real-time screen views for up to four cameras are directly and instantly accessible. Pre-loaded virtual gauges include oil temperature, transmission temperature, manifold boost, present and average fuel economy, DPF status, and engine torque.

ALWAYS AVAILABLE

From the moment your new T880 hits the pavement, dirt, or gravel, Kenworth and its dealer network—with more than 360 locations throughout North America—are standing by, ready to help. With roadside assistance, service excellence, and driver’s lounges to keep you comfortable in the event your truck needs service, you can count on Kenworth to ensure the life of your truck and your personal safety.
