Kenworth’s highly versatile T300
As Kenworth continues its offerings in the Class 6 and 7 markets, the T300’s versatility and flexibility is appealing to customers using the vehicle in a multitude of ways.
“Customers are excited that the Kenworth T300 works for them in diverse pickup and delivery and vocational applications. They want a dependable and affordable medium duty vehicle that provides outstanding performance in their unique application and they’ve found the formula for success with the Kenworth T300,” said Gary Moore, Kenworth assistant general manager for marketing and sales. “The T300 offers front axle ratings from 8,000 to 14,600 pounds and rear axles from 16,000 to 40,000 pounds, comes in both Class 6 and 7 configurations for CDL and non-CDL use, and includes new Class 6 ratings of 24,000, 25,000 and 26,000 pounds GVWR.” Fountain Tire of Grande Prairie, Alberta, finds different uses for its two Kenworth T300s. One spends all of its time on the road delivering tires to retail stores. The other T300 is a service truck working the rugged oil fields of northern Alberta province.
“We can’t afford a breakdown in these places that have severe terrain,” said Don Lindsay, Fountain Tire owner and manager. “I went looking for long-term value in a truck and the Kenworth T300 has delivered. The only work we’ve done on the trucks is routine maintenance. That pays off in low cost of operation.”
The Kenworth T300 has proved to be an agile, durable truck for patching 900 miles of county roads in Madera County, California. The county’s T300 is equipped with a 92-inch-wide, one-cubic-yard front end loader that swings overhead to drop leftover patching materials into a six-cubic-yard box behind the cab.
“This truck goes over the road and into construction areas to pick up materials. We give it a hard workout each day,” said Richard Hansen, county road shop supervisor. “This is our first Kenworth and it has performed very well. We expect the truck will last at least 10 to 15 years. That makes it a good investment for our taxpayer dollars. Plus, all of the five members of the work crew enjoy driving it.”
