T420 & T420SAR
Greater versatility
Unrivalled versatility plus a wide range of additional features and enhancements—that’s what you can expect from the new generation T420 and T420SAR. The new aerodynamic T420 with its set-back front axle for maximum manoeuvrability is productive and comfortable. While the new T420SAR with its classic Kenworth styling has a set-forward front axle for optimal weight distribution in a variety of heavy-duty applications.Â
Advanced powertrain
The T420 and T420SAR feature an all-new powertrain that teams the Euro 6 PACCAR MX-13 engine with a PACCAR PX-12 or PX-18 automated transmission—a pairing that combines reliable, consistent power delivery with smoother, more intuitive shifting to maximise driveability and fuel efficiency.
Driver-focused luxury
The view from driver’s seat is more impressive than ever. The cab now features a 15-inch high-definition digital instrument panel, new 8-inch audio visual navigation unit with smartphone integration, and wireless phone charging. The new Smart Wheel enables fingertip control of a wider range of functions and settings, and climate control dials are now more easily accessed. 
Smarter safety all round
Equipped with upgraded radar and camera systems, and the latest suite of Fusion active safety technologies, the new T420 and T420SAR react to potential hazards faster—and less intrusively—creating a more intuitive connection between driver and road. New full-length exterior grab handles and puddle lights ensure cabin access is also easier than ever. 
Endless applications
The new generation T420 and T420SAR are designed for use in rigid, single and multi-trailer configurations with a choice of day and sleeper cab options. Their short bumper-to-back-of-cab lengths and low tare weight enable larger payloads across a wide range of applications, including vocational, intrastate and interstate distribution, and tipper and dog. 
PACCAR Connect enabled
The PACCAR Connect digital productivity and telematics platform continually monitors and analyses truck data in real time. The insights it generates enable better decision-making by drivers and operators, and ensure the total technical expertise of Kenworth is your constant companion—every delivery, every day, every kilometre.
