Kenworth T470

The Kenworth T470 is a heavy-end medium-duty truck that Kenworth introduced in June 2009 to widen its product range. It was aimed at snowplow, dump, mixer, winch, refuse and other vocational and municipal jobs that put heavy loads on the front axle. Its original power came from a 9-litre Cummins ISL engine making 345 horsepower and 1,150 pound-feet of torque, and Kenworth later offered the same engine at 365 horsepower. The truck could be ordered with manual or automatic transmissions, front axles rated from 12,000 to 22,000 pounds, and single or tandem rear axles. It had a fixed-grille hood with a 50.5-inch bumper setting for a front engine power take-off, and shared the multiplexed dash of the Class 8 line.
