- Dave Whyte delves deeper into the appeal of the T610
The release of the Kenworth T610 has created a lot of discussion among drivers and operators, and so it should. The T610 is the result of seven years, and over $20 million of investment from PACCAR, and represents the biggest single update in the Australian Kenworth model range for a very long time. Although a lot of the discussion is centred on the external appearance of the new model, the real beauty of this truck lies beneath the skin, with a host of comfort, convenience and technology updates that Australian Kenworth buyers have never been offered before.
It’s sad that a lot of drivers in Oz are disappointed with the T610SAR, it looks like a sharp wagon. However nothing is like things used to be. A lot of manufacturers over here in North America are down to just 2 or 3 models, a highway truck (maybe long hood a short) and a severe duty truck. A lot of us over here don’t like the hood scoops on the W990-the T610 shows that there are air filter cans that will fit; again a sharp truck overall with some disappointing details. I’m kinda glad I’m retired; loved the job and was with a good company, but too much was changing in the business; the last 3 years I was in a Cascadia, a comfortable and good running truck with the Detroit DD15, but no personality, just a basic fleet truck. At least it was a manual-10 speed; hated the auto shifts in Internationals and Sterlings. OK I’m done griping, thanks for the vid!
Is the T610 only available in Australia? So far the only videos of seen of this truck are in Australia.
Madman Gaming I think it’s a t680 only rhd
610 and 610SAR available in Australia and New Zealand
Nice video and beautiful T610
Driver knows what he's doing ,he's just refraining from punching the passenger in the mouth.
Egr's
Are the biggest pieces of junk ever brought into the industry.
Its all designed to make the owner have minimal profit.
They run hot as hell.
E5 fan hardly ever comes on.
Yes Kenworth hate you and don't want you to be able to afford a new truck, so they can go broke. Idiot.
Does the 34 inch bunk have a similar size bed as the as the older 36 inch bunk
Yep it's kenworth..you never stop steering the heap all day..also notice the salesman is over up selling the truck to him...
Haha rubbish.
Yep these things are junk compared to the previous model
They're both reporters
how can it be a pre-production truck when it has the 2018 yellow grab bars and the 2016-2017 had black
If it's a trainer truck it's probably been changed or ordered with yellow for whs and dummies who need to be told to grab the yellow grab rail
You do realise that this video is 5 year old don't you?
nice jake
It’s a daf! We all at work didn’t want to give up our old kenworths with real engines “cat cumins” but we all thought at least we getting new kenworths as we have 6 not bad looking 409’s Eaton autos and daf mx13 motors that was my expectation from these new trucks watching them roll into the yard We were so disappointed, the cab looks like shit!! Then I noticed the interior was not the traditional Kenworth trim design we all fort to take the last 409 in the yard.
Did Kenworth buy daf or daf buy Kenworth. they were the elite truck to buy now they are a daf! Nothing individual about these trucks no pride driving them I’m not sure if I Evan want to wash it just euro disposable rubbish. I can’t see the interior being durable seen it befor new truck after a year nothing works on it! Hopefully the daf holds up If I hang around to drive it!
Paccar bought DAF, can't you get a cummins in a kenworth?
@@truckingwithwim8039 sorry maybe didn’t mention they were 410 you can’t get a Cummins as an option in T410. Only 610 up
@@billyg4281 Alright, oke
You probably drive like you're grammar. Crap
@@billyg4281 the engine in the 410 is basically Kenworth's version of the Cummins and isn't a Daf or Euro engine.
Just jumped put of a 409 sar after 5 years and into one of these... Wow.. What a dissapointment. Luckily i can get m sar back. The bonnet squeeks, the bunk rattles n squeeks doors are flimsy and leak air, engin noise is rediculas in the cab, head light fell out at 5000 km....ooooh the auto drops into angel gear when coasting at 100kph...what the f...? All in all this things a bucket of s..t and couldnt hold a candle to the 409 and 609s. By the way the 610 has 59,000 on the clock....
Couldn't àgrere more
Whats the difference in the T610 and T610 SAR ? they are both running the X15 just curios ? Is it cosmetic or mechanical ?
how come australian kenworth has a nice loud jake brake but americans dont?
STATIC_KEKO it’s the Euro 5 that makes the difference. Most EGR engines fitted with a DPF have additional muffling, whereas due to the adblue used in the E5, it burns cleaner and doesn’t utilize additional muffling.
@@mattywjeisz8227 so what motors do they use? And all they have in Australia Is mufflers?
@@tonythecarfreak This engine is the Cummins X15 same as the current X15 in North America. The only difference is that in
Aussie, X15 has
No EGR
No VGT turbo, uses a "Wastegate" turbo
Uses only one SCR muffler filter,
the same used in North America between 2007 and 2010 ISX engines. Those engine sounded loud until 2011 they started using three filters inside two mufflers. DPF, DOC & SCR
North America X15 sounds quite because of the
VGT Turbo and Three mufflers filters, DPF, DOC and SCR
The EGR & DEF system does not affect the engine sound, its the muffler filters and turbo
steering box ratio is hopeless , steering is horrible , automated ones are a down time nightmare with its under developed management system , the drone in the cab is distracting and annoying , if you have to get one do your good drivers a favour and buy them with a stick , this salesmen is talking shit
He's a reporter, not a salesman
Yep the autos are absolutely rubbish, these kws are so disappointing, I frigging hate driving the one I have
Its full of it on engine break. E5 is no were as good as a cummins egr for holding it back
truckie ken what you with the egr is better
Not a loud noisy cab 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a load of garbage
These trucks are junk, nowhere as nice.tocdrive as the 609
