Kenworth Truck Co's new extended daycab for its T600, T800, and W900 models adds 6" to cab length, mounts the seat 2" further back from the steering wheel, and offers a seat recline up to 21°. The extended daycab increases storage by 2¼ cubic feet on the rear wall. It also offers another 3" of headroom, has an option for Kenworth proprietary corner windows, and will be available with back-of-cab- and side-of-cab-mounted exhaust.

According to Kenworth, the extended daycab has only a slight weight increase over the current cab. The company is targeting the extended daycab for those involved in fuel and regional hauling, pick-up and delivery, dump trucks and mixers, and logging. Production availability is planned for fourth-quarter 2002. For more information, contact Kenworth, PO Box 1000, Kirkland WA 98083-1000.
