Kenworth is enhancing its reliable, rugged and versatile Kenworth T370 with additional new options that further expand its capabilities for vocational customers.

The T370 is a medium duty vocational truck, and shares a heavy duty heritage and key components with Kenworth's heavy duty vocational trucks.

(7,257, 8,164 and 9,072 kg) front axles — is adding a durable straight steel channel bumper, larger size 385/65R22.5 steer tires, and rugged, molded thermoplastic fender extensions to benefit vocational customers. The heavy front axles can be paired with 46,000-lbs.

“The Kenworth T370 already provides excellent performance and value for a wide range of medium duty and vocational applications,” said Kurt Swihart, Kenworth marketing director. “Now, Kenworth is enhancing this proven performer to bring cost-effective operation and heavy duty performance to truck operators in even more demanding vocational applications.”

The T370 is available with Meritor or Dana non-drive front steer axles rated from 16,000- to 20,000-lbs. and 44,000- and 46,000-lbs. heavy duty tandem-drive rear axles. The T370 can be spec'd with the PACCAR PX-9 engine rated up to 350-hp and 1,150 lb.-ft. of torque.
