Kenworth W900S

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The Kenworth W900S is the severe-duty variant of the Kenworth W900 conventional-cab truck. Truckinginfo lists it with the base W900B and the longer-nosed W900L as one of the three basic W900 models Kenworth has offered since 1982, and describes the W900S as a severe-duty model. English Wikipedia places it in the Kenworth line alongside the W900 and the T800 family, and Shoreline Truck Parts says it adopted the sloped hood of the T800 when it was introduced in 1987. Truckinginfo reports that in 2020 the manufacturer ended production of the W900S, leaving the W900B and the W900L in the catalogue, while the all-new W990 became the flagship conventional. It should not be confused with the Australian W900SAR.
