Kenworth T404 SAR

The Kenworth T404 SAR is a bonneted heavy truck from Kenworth, built on the chassis platform and componentry of the earlier T404S. Its set-forward front axle, with a bumper-to-front-axle distance of 875 millimetres, is what separates it from the T404S, and it exists to optimise gross combination mass loadings across a wide range of applications. A bumper-to-back-of-cab measurement of 2835 millimetres gives it some of the manoeuvrability, vision and short overall length of a cab-over, combined with the cab access, serviceability and low tare weight of a conventional truck. It came as a day cab or with optional 28-inch or 36-inch sleepers, and could be specified with Caterpillar, Cummins or Detroit engines. A Trucksales buyer's guide notes that T404 production ceased at the end of 2007, so the SAR is now mostly bought used.
