Kenworth T880S adds mid-roof sleeper options

July 3, 2019
The 52” and 76” mid-roof sleepers also have multiple optional amenities.

The Kenworth T880S with a set-forward front axle is available for order with Kenworth’s 52” and 76” mid-roof sleepers.

The T880S sleeper configurations are focused on heavy haul and severe highway applications where ruggedness is especially required. The two sleeper options enable the T880S to meet both overall combination length and weight distribution needs and are applicable for both Canadian and U.S. markets.

Kenworth’s 76” mid-roof sleeper can be ordered with either the optional back wall storage system or folding upper bunk. The optional Kenworth Idle Management System provides a factory-installed, battery-based auxiliary power unit (APU). A premium sound system and flat screen TV mount are among other options that provide further driver comfort and satisfaction.

The Kenworth 52” mid-roof sleeper is a welcome sanctuary when the schedule requires a short layover. The sleeper features a liftable lower bunk and upper storage units on the sleeper’s back wall, including hanging storage for clothes and jackets. A bunk heater, flat screen TV, premium sound system, and factory-installed inverter with optional shore power are available for additional comfort. The many driver comfort amenities help give the Kenworth T680's 52” mid-size sleeper the feel of a larger sleeper.

Both sleepers provide interior height clearance, enabling a driver or passenger up to 6’ 4” to stand up between the seats. Specifying the 180-degree optional passenger swivel seat further expands the living space and enables the driver to use both the cab and the sleeper as a comfortable space for relaxation – when not driving.

“Our high-quality sleeper options for the T880S provides customers with an additional opportunity for enhanced driver comfort in their efforts for cost-effective operations and increased driver retention and recruitment,” said Kurt Swihart, Kenworth marketing director.

The T880S is offered with a set-forward front axle ranging from 14,600 lbs to 22,800 lbs and is standard with the PACCAR MX-13 engine with up to 510 hp and 1,850 ft-lb of torque. For weight-sensitive applications, the 10.8L PACCAR MX-11 engine is 400 pounds lighter than larger displacement engines and provides up to 430-hp and 1,650 ft-lb of torque, according to the company.
