Gettin REAL TIRED of the epa and their shenanigans. That explains why the company i drive for ended up ordering autos. I told them if you want my 09, your gonna be waiting. Not giving up my t800 for anything til she's rotted away
I get better fuel mileage with my 13 speed manual because I know how to drive. I have the only manual left in our fleet, the rest are the automated Eaton transmissions, which are almost identical to mine but there’s an automated clutch and XY shifter. All of our drivers get in and put the pedal to the floor with no consideration of the operation of the truck because they don’t need to know. These autos and automated transmissions are the direct reason why we have poor drivers in the industry.
Woah that’s insane. Did the EPA make Eaton change what they could make available. And a surcharge for getting a manual sounds even more outrageous. Next thing they will start putting surcharges on hood trucks
EPA surcharge for buying an 18 speed but not automatic that's completely ludicrous. Manual trans gets better fuel mileage than an automatic. Could you clarify for us on why ? To me it sounds like going to an automatic they are trying to get pretty much any person who can marginally pass the CDL into trucking. Maybe I'm wrong but it just doesn't make sense to me.
8:01 Hi Andy I like the W990 but my favorite truck from kenworth is the W900L I'm a owner now of my peterbilt 567 it's set up for heavy haul which I use to do but now im a grain hauler and truck in the Midwest from Texas where I live I'm so sick of the emission on it keep the great videos coming brother have a awesome weekend if I get tiered of My peterbilt I'll definitely trade in my truck for a kenworth W900 L
Very cool truck, love the videos. Talking about transmission, what automatics are available for kenworths? Have Allison 6 speeds in some and we are quite gay with them
the only thing going for kw over pete is they actually still have a some type old school interior u can choose buut really this trucc is still under whelming
Dang, at least they have the optional analog gauges, but still kills the classic feel for me. And our eyes are already screen overloaded today. Thanks goodness for the 900!
Beautiful truck but there ain’t nothin more fine than the w9. What does the EPA have to do with the standard? Wtf is that bs. I’m leaving the trucking industry if I’m forced to go automatic. F that
Too bad with all the BS coming with the EPA. The gliders would be the ultimate choice to old guys like me and those days are gone and that really sucks !!

How I feel about my Peterbilt 389, my company has been ordering 567s, I don't want one of those.
You and me both.

Awesome looking 990. I hope you're enjoying your summer.
Thanks, you too!
I'll never like the W990 as much as I like the W900B and W900L.
Nice trucks
Yes they are

I live in Jamaica. Hopefully, one day, I can purchase a truck from you. 🙏🏾
I like your faith, big up to all Jamaican truckers. I'm Jamaican too, and I wish the best to all yard man

Belleza de maquina🤩🤩🤩
but here is a dumb question. is that throttle speed limiter option available on all paccar products?? thats thing is great.
I WILL NEVER DRIVE AN AUTO TRANS!!! I did for two weeks with one company... and bought my own W9 with 18 spd and QUIT that SHEEP guiding company!!
nice
Can you still get an analog dash in the 990?
Nope. Just in the W900
Dang, at least they have the optional analog gauges, but still kills the classic feel for me. And our eyes are already screen overloaded today. Thanks goodness for the 900!

What is the industry coming to. Discontinuing manual transmission wow
It’s the government.
Hey sir can we order w900 with front axle air ride
Hey Andy, can a 52" mid roof have a double bunk for the W990?
Yes. I've seen them.
Yup
@@AndyTheKenworthGuy Nice. I was told "no"
I don’t think they came in a long hood
پرواز؟ دلیلشون پروازِ؟
TOO SMALL!! I'm not a fan of small sleepers. But then again, I'm an OTR driver.
Kw YES! 990 NOOOOO!!
Sorry, looks too much like a 13 letter shit spreader, c'mon beek!!
Automatics are better
beautiful truck engine wouldn't be my choice but really nice set up
Too bad with all the BS coming with the EPA. The gliders would be the ultimate choice to old guys like me and those days are gone and that really sucks !!
