CHIILLICOTHE, OH — Every day, about 128 trucks roll off Kenworth’s assembly line at Chillicothe, Ohio. It was only fitting that this was the setting for the unveiling of 2017 trucks, which rolled past our camera lens. Here’s a selection of what we saw.

An MX-11 is installed in a future T680.

A second level at the Chillicothe, Ohio assembly plant will store painted parts.

The road test begins.

 

The T680 now accounts for half of KW sales.

2017 updates include refined fairings.
