No matter if you’re a OTR, local, or regional trucker, you deserve to ride in style and comfort in a rig that’s guaranteed to get you where you need to go. With the latest model available for the Kenworth T680, drivers will find an upgraded fuel efficiency, driver-assist technology, and a spacious cabin to stretch out in. Check out why you need the new Kenworth T680 Next Generation, then stop by Kenworth of Louisiana today!

Power and Performance Like Never Before

The Kenworth T680 comes with the option of choosing between two PACCAR powertrains: the 10.8L 6-cylinder inline MX-11 and the 12.9L MX-13. For line haul truckers handling more heavy duty and larger payloads, we recommend choosing the MX-13 powertrain. With up to 510 horsepower and up to 1,850 pounds of torque, the PACCAR MX-13 delivers a powerful ride. If you deal mainly with weight sensitive pickup and deliveries, the PACCAR MX-11 is the perfect choice for you! The MX-11 delivers up to 400 horsepower and up to 1,650 pounds of torque. When coupled with the PACCAR transmission and axles, the T680’s powertrain works tirelessly to maximize fuel economy and lower engine RPM’s. No matter which engine you choose, the new Kenworth T680 has the capability to get you where you need to go.

Innovative Technology

The latest T680 Next Generation offers state of the art technology features that every OTR, local, and regional trucker is sure to love! In order to give the driver more control, safety, and peace of mind, this semi features a 15-inch digital display, which gives the driver up to almost 50 different display options, allowing the driver to monitor the health and performance of the T680. With the integration of the Next Gen SafetyWheel, truckers can tailor their digital display settings to their needs, opt for cruise control, and control all radio and phone functions. 

Even more impressive is the plethora of safety and driver-assist features available on the Kenworth T680. Navigate the highways and service roads with ease with the help of premium features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Collision Mitigation, Side Object Detection, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, Torque Assisted Steering, and more! With improved cameras, radars and senses, it’s easier than ever to maneuver through traffic. 

Upgraded Interior

For many, one of the most important components of a semi is the interior of the cabin. Drivers need a cabin that is comfortable, functional, and spacious. Featuring a stylish black dashboard with wood grain accents, the T680’s Diamond VIT delivers a luxurious driving experience like never before. Rich, quilted designs adorn the doors, ceiling, and back wall. For maximum comfort, truckers can conquer the road before them with the advanced suspension and adjustability options of the driver's seat, while the swivel passenger seat turns to face a swing-out desk. Included in the cabin is a swivel TV, viewable from the available Driver’s Studio or passenger seat, a fridge, cargo shelf, sleeper control panel, and so much more. With multiple mid-roof sleeper options, drivers can choose between the 76-inch High-Roof Sleeper, 76-inch Mid-Roof Sleeper, 76-inch High Roof Sleeper, 52-inch Mid-Roof Sleeper, and the 40-inch Flat-Top Sleeper. After a long day on the road, you can sit back and unwind with plenty of space and all the creature comforts you could want in the Kenworth T680 Next Generation’s ultra-luxe interior!
