About the Kenworth T880
Launched at the Mid-America Trucking Show on March 21, 2013 as Kenworth's new vocational flagship, the T880 replaced the venerable T800 for dump, mixer, refuse, and heavy-haul work. It pairs the robotically assembled 2.1-meter aluminum cab with engines up to the Cummins ISX15 at 600 hp and 2,050 lb-ft, plus a lightweight Metton composite hood.
About the Peterbilt 567
Unveiled at the 2013 Mid-America Trucking Show, the Model 567 is Peterbilt's heavy-duty vocational workhorse and its most-built vocational model, designed for dump, mixer, construction, and heavy-haul duty. Its lightweight aluminum cab meets severe-service standards while a steeply sloped Metton resin hood improves both jobsite visibility and on-road aerodynamics, and heavy-haul builds can spec a 15-liter engine up to 600 hp.
