The Kenworth W900SAR is a bonneted conventional truck that was built and sold in Australia from 1975 until 1987, and which Kenworth describes as the first Kenworth model designed, engineered and built in Australia specifically for Australian operating requirements. It had a sloping bonnet and a raised cab position that allowed the first use of under cab batteries and toolboxes, and Kenworth calls it an iconic fusion of the W900AR and S2 models. It could take the high horsepower engines favoured by Australian transport operators and still carry the maximum legal payload within existing length limits, and it was lighter than the AR and than the K100 cabover of the day. Its look was revived in 2021 as the Legend SAR.
