The Kenworth K100G is a cab-over heavy truck launched in 1995. Its launch coincided with the lengthening of B-double combinations from 23 metres to 25 metres, and its set-forward front axle, spacious sleeper and light tare weight let operators carry two more pallets in a B-double combination. It proved so popular that at one point it made up half of all Kenworth trucks built. Most K100G trucks were destined for intensive B-double linehaul work and came with high horsepower engines and robust running gear. A 1995 example described by Trucksales runs a Detroit Series 60 rated at 550 horsepower with an 18 speed Eaton Roadranger gearbox and Kenworth Airglide rear suspension. Kenworth lists the K100G in its K Series beside the K100, K100E, K104 and K108.
