Kenworth’s flagship construction truck, the T880, broadened its application reach with new availability of an all-wheel-drive configuration. The front drive axle is installed at the Kenworth factory, which speeds delivery time and saves costs for customers.
The T880 all-wheel-drive in a 6×6 configuration with service body“For severe duty applications where the ultimate in traction is required, our new configuration is a welcomed spec,” said Kenworth Marketing Director Kurt Swihart. “We see our all-wheel-drive T880 being used in oilfields, configured as an off-road crane, in utility and construction work, or used with municipalities and fire/rescue.”
The Marmon Herrington MT-22 front drive axle is available in a 6×6 or 8×8 Class 8 configuration with a capacity rating up to 22,000 pounds. The configuration requires a Fabco transfer case, and can be specified with Fabco’s 1-speed TC-142 or 2-speed TC-143 transfer case, depending on customer requirements.
