New 52-Inch Mid-Roof Sleeper For Kenworth T680
Now Available for Order
Ideal for Regional Haul Applications
KIRKLAND, Wash. – The Kenworth T680 is
now available for order with the new Kenworth 52inch mid-roof sleeper.
The Kenworth T680’s 52-inch sleeper is wellsuited for regional hauling applications – including
tank, bulk, flatbed, heavy haul and lowboy – where
drivers may spend just two or three nights on the
road during a typical week.
The fuel-efficient Kenworth T680 with the
PACCAR MX-13 engine received the 2013 Heavy
Duty Commercial Truck of the Year award from the
American Truck Dealers (ATD). The PACCAR
MX-13 is the standard engine in the T680 and is
rated up to 500 hp and 1,850 lb-ft of torque.

Fleets and owner-operators in those
applications typically use lower trailer or payload
heights than traditional, full-height 48-foot or 53foot dry van and refrigerated trailers. The 52-inch
sleeper offers those operators up to approximately
600 lbs. in weight savings compared to the 76-inch
sleeper available with the T680.
The T680 with 52-inch sleeper includes a
stamped aluminum cab, panoramic windshield,
robust door, 3-piece aerodynamic hood, and high
quality dash and interior. There is excellent interior
height for a mid-roof sleeper with sufficient head
room for a driver or passenger up to 6-foot-4 to
easily stand up between the seats. The optional
passenger swivel seat expands the living space into
the cab to provide even more comfort for the drivers
when parked.

The mid-roof sleeper also features a liftable
lower bunk and upper storage units on the sleeper’s
back wall, including ample space for drivers to hang
their clothes and jackets, or an optional upper bunk
for driving teams. A bunk heater, flat screen TV,
premium sound system and factory-installed
inverter with optional shore power can be selected
for additional comfort. The driver comfort
amenities help give the Kenworth T680’s 52-inch
mid-size sleeper the feel of a larger sleeper.
“With the latest addition, Kenworth now offers
the fuel-efficient Kenworth T680 in a day cab, 52inch sleeper and 76-inch sleeper configuration,
which gives more truck operators the opportunity to
benefit from the T680’s superior fuel efficiency,
outstanding performance, exceptional styling and
extraordinary comfort,” said Erik Johnson,
Kenworth on-highway marketing manager.
