The tale of Kenworth begins with a great adventure in the Pacific Northwest where rough and tough loggers fought winding, muddy and narrow mountain roads to transport logs for processing. Harry Kent and Edgar K. Worthington heard about the difficulty of even small loads getting safely off the mountains. The two business people traveled to those mountains in hopes of solving the loggers’ dilemma by building trucks that could haul the payloads bigger and better and safer.
On January 22, 1923, Kent and Worthington formed the Kenworth Motor Truck Company in Seattle, Washington and the adventure continues as does the innovation and the excitement. Speaking of excitement, Kenworth is now celebrating 100 years of making trucks better, safer, and more comfortable for operators. The celebration will continue throughout 2023.
One of the highlights is the release of 2 new Limited Edition truck models in respect of the Kenworth achievements. For views of the limited edition W900L go to W900L Limited Edition | Kenworth. And for information on the T680 Signature Edition go to T680 Signature Edition | Kenworth.
