In the video up top, Overdrive sister publication CCJ editor Jason Cannon walks viewers through spec options for Kenworth's C580, replacing the legendary C500 after 50 years of production.
The extreme-duty rig was unveiled at the ConExpo-Con/Agg equipment trade show last month to much fanfare and with a boatload of details about configuration for the unit, expected to enter production early next year.
The extreme-duty powerhouse C580 is expcted to come standard with Cummins X15 engines with ratings up to 605 hp and 2,050 lb.-ft. of torque. Likewise: Kenworth’s full suite of transmission offerings, including manual, Allison 4000 and 6000 Series automatics, and -- for the first time in this duty segment -- the advanced Eaton Endurant XD Pro automated transmission.
