Heavy-Duty Thinking, Medium-Duty Trucking
In the Class 7 truck segment, not all trucks are equipped to take on demanding workloads like a Class 8 truck can. However, the Kenworth T370 makes it easy. Whether working in construction, utility or other vocational operations, the T370 combines medium-duty flexibility with heavy-duty strength. Discontinued in 2021, the T370 remains a popular choice among fleets and drivers for its reliability, versatility, and performance.
