Kenworth

Kenworth is an American truck manufacturer featured in American Truck Simulator, and in the 18 Wheels of Steel under the name Kinetic. Kenworth manufactures a variety of trucks in America and Australia, ranging from the C-Series cement mixer to the monster T909 that is used in Australia as the powerhouse for road trains.

There are currently two models in ATS (one of them has two different models), the T680 (and its Next Gen facelift model) and the W900. The W900 is the most popular out of the two, judging from online events. Although the T680 is cheaper, the W900 is faster, has more customizable options, and has engine choices which offer higher horsepower.

The headquarters of the Kenworth company is located in Renton, Washington. Kenworth shares their headquarters with engine manufacturer Paccar, which also owns Peterbilt in American Truck Simulator and DAF in Euro Truck Simulator 2.

On August 3, 2023, the W900 Tuning Pack DLC for American Truck Simulator has been released. It adds many new customization for the W900.
