About the brand ❤️
Kenworth is a renowned American manufacturer of heavy-duty and medium-duty commercial trucks. Founded in 1923 by Harry W. Kent and Edgar K. Worthington, the company began by producing custom trucks for logging and freight operations in the Pacific Northwest. Over the decades, Kenworth has gained a reputation for quality, durability, and innovation — being the first U.S. truck maker to offer diesel engines as standard in 1933 and pioneering sleeper-cabs for long-haul comfort. Under the ownership of PACCAR since 1945, Kenworth has continued expanding globally, with manufacturing plants not only across the U.S. but also in Canada, Mexico, and Australia. The brand is celebrated for iconic models such as the W900 and modern aerodynamic trucks like the T680, producing over a million Class 5–8 trucks to date. Kenworth’s legacy combines reliable engineering, customization to customer needs, and a century-long commitment to “The World’s Best” trucking.
