Key Features and Updates
Design
The T380 is perfect for a larger variety of vocations, thanks to its versatile engineering. Its tight turning radius and balanced chassis make it a good fit for city routes, regional hauls, and vocational jobs.

The T380’s integrated technology keeps you running smoothly without taking your mind off the road. The advanced diagnostics — such as the ADAS warnings and TruckTech+ — help monitor your driving performance. On top of that, infotainment, navigation, communication tools, and vehicle data access help you stay connected while keeping both hands on the wheel.
Customization
One of the T380’s biggest advantages is its customization options. Whether it’s set up for delivery, utility, or service work, it offers the flexibility to support your specific operation. “Kenworth medium duty trucks are available with either a standard low or raised roof option. At 63 inches, the low roof is 4 inches lower than the raised roof, making it ideal for height-restricted applications.” (Source)
