2021 Kenworth T280 Base

2021 Kenworth T280

Introducing a whole new class of medium-duty trucks – custom-engineered vehicles designed from the ground up to answer your toughest operating challenges. You get a robust, versatile, highly maneuverable chassis design. A smart, streamlined exterior with vastly better visibility. An efficient, fully-optimized powertrain of proven reliability. Cutting-edge driver-centric operating systems. And a readily-familiar cab environment of unrivalled quality offering Day One driveability for non-CDL personnel.

A true Class 6 vehicle rated at 26,000 lbs, the Kenworth T280 is available as a straight truck – ideal for a range of regional haul and general freight applications.

• ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Reads traffic conditions via front-facing radar sensor and modulates the throttle and the brakes to keep your truck at a pre-set distance from the vehicle in front of it.

• COLLISION MITIGATION

Detects when the truck may be about to collide with another vehicle or object, alerts the driver and takes pre-emptive braking action — when necessary — to avoid or considerably reduce the severity of a crash.

• SIDE OBJECT DETECTION

Constantly monitors a truck’s blind spots and provides the driver with audible and visual alerts when an object or vehicle has entered these zones — invaluable when making a lane change or negotiating tight delivery sites.

• LANE DEPARTURE WARNING

This system continually monitors the truck’s location related to lane markings and automatically emits a distinctive audible warning whenever an unintended lane change (unsignaled) is detected — alerting the driver to make a correction.

• CONNECTED TRUCKTECH+

An innovative new technology that helps you diagnose and solve potential problems before they impact your operation.
