CHILLICOTHE, OH. The latest features to be added to Kenworth's truck lineup were on display at a ride-and-drive event on Wednesday.

That includes the new Paccar MX-11 engine, a new Aero Advantage package fairing, a "clear back of cab" DEF tank, Allison automatic transmission and severe-duty suspension for heavy duty trucks as well as heavier-duty front and rear axles for the T370 medium duty, which makes that truck a "baby Class 8," according to company spokesman Kurt Swihart.
