Next-Gen SmartWheel, Next-Gen Digital Display, fully LED headlights, and under-the-vehicle airflow management are just a few of the technical innovations found in the 2017 Kenworth T680. The sleek high-tech design blends aerodynamics and serviceability. All of these elements work together to restrict airflow closer to the cab and lessen drag-causing turbulence on the 2017 Kenworth T680 thanks to redesigned aero bumper and hood, as well as turning vanes and sturdy lower fairing extensions.

The chassis fairings and wheel well closeouts are also included with this Kenworth model.

Also, an optional leather-wrapped steering wheel is also available for the Diamond VIT sleeper inside.

The famed ‘Kenworth Cargo Shelf’, a 5.5-inch storage shelf with several secure tie-down points, is available for the T680 with 76-inch high-roof sleepers. Lighting for the bottom bed is provided by two LED lights situated on the shelf’s underside.

Owner’s Manual

However, the 2017 Kenworth T680 operator manual is a vital book for the truck owner. To that end, this vital index contains all the required information for future maintenance, vehicle operation, and features. The Kenworth manuals are specific for the year and model of the truck.

• Introduction
• Overview

While this list is thorough, the operators manual provides more operational suggestions to enhance the user experience. It is important to obtain and keep accessible a copy of the operator manual

Predictive Cruising and GPS

Kenworth Predictive Cruise Control combines GPS and cruise control that provides the best possible fuel efficiency. Based on topographical GPS data inputs, Predictive Cruise Control adjusts the cruising speed of a vehicle. When the vehicle reaches particular terrain, such as rolling hills, the system regulates the cruising speed. In turn, this maximizes performance and efficiency.

For example, in the case of a heavy truck ascending and cresting a hill, Predictive Cruising Control will allow the vehicle speed to dip slightly below the programmed cruise speed to compensate. This improves fuel efficiency since the vehicle can now maintain the predetermined cruising speed by utilizing momentum rather than fuel.

Drive

In addition to the newest technology, components, and driver conveniences, the customized 2017 T680 Advantage show at Mid-America has several other features. In addition to a 2017 PACCAR MX-13 455-horsepower engine, a new PACCAR 40K tandem rear axle, and an Eaton Fuller Advantage automated 10-speed gearbox, the truck is equipped with an optimized powertrain. Then there’s the lightweight Meritor MFS+TM 12,500-lb front steer axle with integrated knuckle for air disc brakes, as well as new Kenworth taper leaf lightweight springs for a smooth ride and improved handling.

Service Manual

These manuals go through every aspect of how the vehicle operates. The vehicle’s purchase price does not include the Kenworth T680 service manuals. This is due to the contents and purpose of the manual, which is specifically for the mechanic in charge of repair. As a result, the contents of the book are more technical in nature

The 2017 Kenworth T680 shop manual is vast and covers every aspect of the vehicle’s diagnostics, service and repair.

Technology

In terms of driver technology features, the T680 Advantage is a powerhouse. Kenworth Nav+ HD system with virtual gauges has a high-resolution 7-inch color screen for navigation music control – including satellite radio, and internet access, according to Dozier. Predictive Cruise Control and our Driver Performance Center provide helpful technological assistance for the driver, improving fuel efficiency. Along with the Bendix Wingman FusionTM driver assistance system, we also included a lane departure system in our specification. In addition, the T680 is equipped with Kenworth TruckTech+ Remote Diagnostics, which helps to increase uptime by expediting service and repair at Kenworth dealerships.
