New options for Kenworth vocational models were announced late last year, including a fixed-grille option (pictured) for those running the W900S with the Paccar PX-9 engine in a set-forward front axle configuration. The option allows end users or body builders to utilize the front of the truck without impacting the ability to open the hood, useful for crane operators or those using the W900S as a vacuum truck. Among other options announced: 1) Allison’s 4700 RDS 7-speed automatic transmission – with optional second “deep reverse” – can be ordered on the T880, T800, W900 and C500. 2) For the T880, a “box bumper” option in either steel or aluminum, featuring a tapered design, to allow for hood pivot clearance and more protection for the grille and headlight area.
