Kenworth T440

The Kenworth T440 is a medium-duty truck built by Kenworth for customers who want heavy-duty performance in a lighter package. Kenworth described it as suited to regional haul, pickup and delivery, municipal and vocational work. It was sold as a straight truck or a tractor with gross vehicle weight ratings from 33,000 to 68,000 pounds, and it is more compact and lighter than a Class 8 truck while carrying many features of the heavy-duty line, including the multiplexed dash, the sloped aerodynamic hood, a three-piece bumper and the Kenworth Driver Information Center. The standard engine was the Paccar PX-8 rated at 350 horsepower, with Cummins ISL diesel and ISL G natural gas engines offered as alternatives. Kenworth published a model-specific brochure for it in November 2010.
