Kenworth T610SAR

The Kenworth T610SAR is a special application engineered model in the Kenworth range, covered here through a Trucksales operator review of a truck bought by Tas Road Express in Tasmania through the dealer CJD Equipment. Kenworth Australia customised that example, mounting the headlight dip switch on the floor and fitting a paddle style gear shifter to the right of the steering column to suit a driver without the use of his left arm. It has a Cummins X15 rated at 550 horsepower (410 kilowatts) producing 1850 lb-ft of torque, an Eaton Ultrashift-Plus transmission, Meritor RT46-160GP rear axles with a 3.91 to 1 final drive ratio and the top-of-the-range 1400 millimetre sleeper with twin bunks. The owner chose it for Kenworth's local engineering, which could tailor the vehicle, and for the flexibility to cover a diverse range of tasks.
