Perfected for the toughest jobs

Kenworth used its long history of designing industry-leading heavy duty trucks to build the T170, a durable, productive, and compact workhorse. Fully customizable, it features amenities such as a work bench and electrical outlet.

Engineered for reliable, long-lived performance, the T170 features Kenworth’s legendary conventional cab – a strong and quiet environment unmatched in the industry for longevity and comfort. A large, post- free windshield, fixed rear window, right hand door peeper window and optional corner windows all combine to enhance visibility in tight spots.

    A RUGGED EXTERIOR AND BOLD DESIGN FOR EVEN THE TOUGHEST JOBS

    Kenworth has taken everything from a long history of building the best trucks for the most difficult jobs and put it in its most compact T series model yet, the T170. This truck features the same bold cab and slippery aerodynamic design as the legendary T660. The rugged aluminum cab is built to withstand the punishment of the toughest jobs, making the Kenworth T170 as tough as it is versatile.
