The new 2008 Kenworth Calendar featuring the World’s Best trucks is hot off the press and now available for order.

The six-page, 2008 Kenworth Wall Calendar is highlighted by two Kenworth family photographs. The Kenworth heavy duty family photograph includes the T660 86-inch Studio AeroCab(R), W900L Studio AeroCab, T2000 75-inch AERODYNE(R), and T800 dump truck, while the Kenworth medium duty family photograph shows the new T370 Class 7, T270 Class 6 and T170 Class 5 models. Separate photographs feature the T660 72-inch AeroCab AERODYNE, T2000 75-inch AERODYNE, T800 Extended Day Cab, and W900L Studio AeroCab. The wall calendar is 26-1/4 inches tall by 28 inches wide.
 
The 2008 Kenworth Appointment Calendar offers 12 different photos including the six wall calendar photographs, and three paired photographs of the T660 Extended Day Cab and T660 86-inch Studio AeroCab, T800 dump truck and W900S mixer, and K360 Class 7 and K260 Class 6 cabover models. Three separate photographs focus on a T800 fire tanker, C500 and T270 hybrid. The appointment calendar is 9-3/4 inches tall by 13 inches wide.
 
The 2008 calendar recognizes Kenworth’s reception of three 2007 J.D. Power and Associates awards for “Highest in Customer Satisfaction for Over the Road Segment, Pickup and Delivery, and Vocational Segment Class 8 Trucks”.*
 
The calendar also includes images of the PACCAR medium duty engines which are designed with performance in mind. The PACCAR PX-6 engine offers the highest horsepower to weight ratio in the Class 6 and Class 7 markets, and the PACCAR PX-8 engine has 1,000 lb-ft of torque for heavier loads and severe grades.
