Kenworth W990

From our customers to our Service team, ask anyone to pick a truck that they would deem “iconic”, and you’ll get one answer: “The W900.” Its legendary profile, on-screen cameos, and 50+ years of production have earned the W900 a reputation of being a truck that stands the test of time. That legacy will never fade. But it will evolve.

Enter the Kenworth W990. Built as the next generation of long-hood trucking, the W990 has everything fleets have loved for decades about the W900. Its design honors tradition, blending classic styling with modern performance, advanced technology, and driver-focused comfort.
