Kenworth W900 Limited Edition

Kenworth is marking its centenary in 2023, and the truck maker has chosen the W900 as the centrepiece of the celebrations. A Limited Edition version of the long-running model was announced as the opening act of a year-long anniversary programme.

“The Kenworth W900 is an all-time classic and iconic truck in the industry that is still admired on the road and at truck shows,” said Jim Walenczak, Kenworth assistant general manager for sales and marketing. “As a long-time staple of Kenworth’s history, there is no better way to kick off our year-long 100th anniversary celebration than by launching this Kenworth W900 Limited Edition.”

Configurations and cab options

Buyers can choose from three configurations: an 86-inch Studio Sleeper, a 72-inch Flat Top and an Extended Day Cab.

Interior

The cabin of the Limited Edition Diamond VIT is finished entirely in black, with a 100th anniversary theme running throughout. A special edition steering wheel and brushed platinum trim on the dashboard and doors are included, along with Kenworth 100 logos on the doors and thresholds. The 86-inch Studio Sleeper comes with a Kenworth 100 sofa bed as standard.

Exterior

Kenworth 100 sleeper badges feature on the outside, while a Kenworth 100 exhaust shield cutout and sun visor are available as options. A three-colour centennial paint design can be specified for a classic, striking appearance, though it is restricted to the 86-inch Studio Sleeper and 72-inch Flat Top.

New signature colours

Alongside the Limited Edition, Kenworth has introduced four signature paint colours for its new Class 8 and medium duty trucks: Century Platinum, Century Black Red, Century Red and Century Gold.

Production and serialisation

“The W900 is a special truck and this Limited Edition is a great way to celebrate 100 years of Kenworth,” said Walenczak. “Only 900 of these trucks will be produced, so they will definitely become a showcase vehicle for owners who want a piece of Kenworth history.”

Each example is serialised from 001 through 900 in order of build date and sequence, with a special Limited Edition badge mounted on the glovebox. Production is limited to 2023 and began in the week of the announcement.

Full specifications for the Kenworth W900 Limited Edition are available from local Kenworth dealers.

Kenworth Truck Company was founded in 1923 and builds heavy and medium duty trucks. The manufacturer is a PACCAR company, and its centenary celebrations run throughout 2023.
