No the bottle is under the bonnet still.. by the time ya add a stone guard and a bullbar drivers won't fill water bottle so u end up like all Wstars with shitty smeary wiper blades...Kw is the best example of washer bottle I can think of.. you can get a set of wiper blades to last 5years on a K200 solely on being able to add I use Palmolive dish liquid coz you can have access to external wiper bottle.. its a freightliner cab also so hopefully it will have much good things..
Yup. I'm sitting in one here in Canada right now. It's basically only odds and ends to make it a Starcar. Trim pieces only. Still a pretty nice truck but it's no longer a stand alone Star.......
@Truckin With Kermie cheers it makes no sense with Wstar they really stuffed it up on the last model with a tiny hose from the separate filler bottle.. you always have smeary screen without some soap coz no one wants to fill the bottle with soap when ya in a hurry .it's just a bloody freightliner cab anyway.
Yet we have some of the biggest truck configurations in the world... whats your point? Americans have giant trucks towing tiny trailers, we have what we consider normal size trucks carrying massive loads and 2,3,4 trailers 🤷♂️ whos laughing
@@M3NT4LM477 Agreed...also those ultra long 'lowboy' trailers that stretch from one suburb into the other just to haul say a 50ton excavator...please. Wtf is all that about??
Just Handed Kenworth the No.1 best truck to buy in Australia for the heavy vehicle market. What ever happened to the heritage style Western star! If I wanted a freightliner I'd buy one.
I like the regtangular Dieseltanks. I like the whole truck. Beautifilull !
Nicely thought out and built Piece of Kit . I agree with David Bell about the Washer bottle though , two minute job that takes 10 .
The washer bottle filler cap is low down on the driver's side and easily accessible
@@truckinwithkermie2755 . Outside the Bonnet , Yes ?

So is it a Cascadia with a western star badge?
A lot is taken from the Cascadia, yes. Just like a lot of PETERBILT is taken from KW.

I just wanna know what fenders they had on the drives???
How about pyrometer
windscreen washer bottle is still 30 years later under the hood where ya can't get to it with a fitted bullbar.
I'm looking at them again later this month. I'll let you know.

New truck means nothing if the suspension is not tuned up. And all the leveling valves are replaced with new ones.
Salam kenal Bosku ,mantap truk treler ni bosku saya suka❤❤
Lenght of the boost hose is going to be a problem I think
Any ETS2 mod? we can test drive then.
👍👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👌
Constellation models are best
Bring the US size WS
Hope these are good, the new kenworths are junk
Nice Cascadia... All Freightliner did was swap out the grills and headlights, WS is losing its touch..
Lifting the hood to fill the windscreen washer ... wtf
They are still a Dog's breakfast under the bonnet..
That Aus. 😂short wheel base makes any Truck look like Shit
Limited here by the 26 metre rule
(in your opinion.)

They always had rectangular tanks and those ones look shit

Missed opportunity for western star, the kW 610 and 410 are junk and the 909 going in a couple of years .
