Hey Andy, the hairs looking good mate 👍, I visited the Kenworth factory here in Melbourne tbis week and they have a lot of grouse gear coming out of there.
I was like that when I got my first T880 back in 2014, after realized how much more space and all the T880 has over the T800 you couldn’t get me back in a T800. I did wished that Kenworth had a option like the T800 with the extended cab behind the seats.
Is it possible for you to have the build sheet with you when you’re walking through the truck? That way you could for sure tell us what options it has like the differential locks and frame coating? Just a note for something that could improve the videos a touch when you know for sure. I like hearing about the options
Would make videos too long & cumbersome. If you are that interested, sit w/ your KW Sales Person & order a truck. These videos are a cursory overview which highlight the primary PACCAR features.
@@billupstateny9151 i think it could actually save time as he could tell us the correct option the truck has and why it was ordered that way like he already does. And he wouldn’t have to take a second to try and remember if the truck has and option or say he can’t remember or have to try and identify by looking around the truck if it does for sure. And with video editing like he already does he could look at the spec sheet quick if he is unsure and go back to filming and talk about it and the part where he had to look up would never make it into the finished video. I’m not saying actually stand there and read off the spec sheet, but use it to remind or refresh himself on the correct info to the truck before the video. Plus who wants to deal with a salesman who can’t tell you what options for certainty the truck you’re buying from him has?
@@chevyon37s Did you read what you wrote? Who wants to deal w/ a salesman? Did you not realize Andy is a salesman. ? These are simply highlight videos. It is difficult enough to maintain the audience attention For 15 minutes to the end w/o describing every nut and bolt. If you were aware of you tube analytics, you would have an understanding. Hopefully Andy will ignore your suggestion as it would cost him viewers. Not sure what your objective is but an in depth explanation of every function on the truck will bore the H E double L out of most folks. I have had a specific question about an item, I asked clarification in the comments, better than 90% of the time, Andy responds, timely matter. Again if you want a computer voice description of the specs, you are alone. Andy's audience likes his impromptu method of truck videos. He self-deprecates & that is part of the charm . If you are unable to find a knowledgeable PACCAR sales person, you are not looking very hard. They have the highest product awareness standards in the industry.
@@billupstateny9151 did you read what I wrote? Or did you just pick a choose pieces? You’re taking things out context (like the salesman comment) Because if you did, you could understand the bigger picture. I’m not asking for an explanation of every single option a truck has on the sheet.

I know he is a salesman. I was speaking to the point of who would want to speak to a salesman that doesn’t know his stuff or can’t tell you what he ordered for you? Nobody. People want a knowledgable and personable salesman, and he can come across as more personable by knowing his customer’s truck without adding any time to the video with a little prep work.
@@billupstateny9151 I can only assume you misunderstood the last line of my original comment that says “I like to hear about the options” and took it as I’d like to hear about more options. But nope, that was just affirming that I like hearing the options that Andy does speak about.

Because that would increase cost in the base price of the truck... think of KW’s largest customer base. Companies who trade in trucks every few years. So they don’t care how the truck resists rot/ holds up long term. And it won’t get them any more value as a trade in. Simple economics
@@chevyon37s Yep, those large fleets run a truck for so many years or so many miles and rotate it out of their fleet. Out with the old and n with the new.
@@chevyon37s Irresponsible statement. Unless you sit on a large freight firm board o r employed as a spec writer, there is no foundation. They do accumulate many miles over shorter durations but the frames are NOT rotted at trade in. The std factory paint is very durable. They also have rigid requirements for truck washing. Have some bonafide credentials before throwing around wild speculation.
@@billupstateny9151 I never said the frames are rotted at trade in... learn some reading comprehension. It’s a simple concept that is applied across nearly all fleet truck and equipment models. And while I don’t sit on the board for any company I do have rather good knowledge of fleet management from an equipment rental company fleet standpoint. And machine cost is a huge factor to national companies when ordering machines for their fleets, so keeping the base price of the equipment down is key to staying profitable. and as per usual fleet equipment is sold off after X amount of hours or years in fleet. So things that enhance the long term life of the machine (like KW’s Zinc frame paint) are not options fleet companies get to keep the purchase cost of the machine down, so no value is seen from such options at time of resale or trade in to those companies.
The 2.1 cabs are such an improvement over the 1.9s the 1.9s look cooler but everything else about the 2.1 is better and that’s coming from a guy that drives a 05 900L I’d rather have a 990
@@anthonysacco5010 Yeah, but the truck or trucks look way better with dual regardless if one’s the for looks. I know I’ll never will spec a truck with just one stack.
It's a shame that paccar though that a digital dash is a great idea I was going to buy a new truck but since their moving away from a actual truck I guess I'll have to buy a used truck
@@billupstateny9151 are you just here to stir up shit or what? Did you even watch the video? Andy says rubber in the video. But that would fit your style to not pay attention, and further prove my point for Andy having a spec sheet handy to be 100% certain what option the truck has that he is talking about.
🤣 workhorse my ass...I pass T880s on a regular basis...Give me a W900 or T800 with a Cat under the hood any day over these plastic emissions garbage trucks.

I would really love to see a video comparing a t680 Next Gen, a t880 and a w990. Thank you for all your videos Andy! 👍🏻🤟🏻
Definitely a awesome truck Andy from inside an out looks great another great video Andy . Nothing beats a Kenworth
Thanks 👍
Amazes me how these trucks can still be spec'd with manual, the truck looks sharp.
You bet!
How heavy is that t880
Very sharp workhorse!
Great video Andy. That is a real nice looking ride. Lots of storage in the bunk.
For sure
Love the intro/exit. Trucks not bad either.
Glad you like it
And it have a manual transmission in it love it
You bet
Hey Andy, the hairs looking good mate 👍, I visited the Kenworth factory here in Melbourne tbis week and they have a lot of grouse gear coming out of there.
Nice
That’s a sweet looking truck. I still have a soft spot for the T800 tho.

The 800 looks cooler but the 880 is an all around better truck
Thanks for watching!
The plastic DEF tank cover detracts from the overall appearance of this truck. 🙊👀
A stainless steel DEF cover would have bling it up!👌🏾
Still can be added on
Damn that song. Nice
nice intro for nice truck
Glad you like it

Great video Andy, nice to see something other than a square hood. What are the rear gears in that truck?
3.73 ratio
Can you still get the t880 with a sleeper
For the 450hp cummins efficiency series, can you have the power turned up at a shop?
No longer able to adjust hp or torque. Cummins will instantly void the remaining warranty.

Did I miss something or do you set the microwave on the passenger seat?
You missed somethign

Out with the old in with the new.

One way PACCAR could upgrade would be a freezer drawer in their fridge instead of the flip door cubbyhole style.
Such a simple addition/ fridge swap too.
Always room to improve

No led headlights?
Not yet

Nothing. All 2.1m cabs are the same inside.

Thanks. Love editing the videos too!
Full military spec with extra plastic.
Sure
Why not start the truck and get some air while filming?
Great idea

Yeah drum breaks are a thing of the past
