900 looks more "livable " due to the windows. Might be more comfortable for long haul

As far as looks, most interior features, and basic setup go, I definitely like the more classic look and feel of the 900 better. And I've always loved those top sleeper windows that they've had for like 40 years. However, I also like the amount of headroom and other space you get with the 990.

It is really a matter of personal preference, as these two trucks are very similar in so many ways. 31 years in trucking, and my personal preference for most of those years has been the peterbilt 379 extended hood... but I'm considering the w990 as a potential candidate for a future purchase (1 to 2 years out)... unless I cave to wheelbase considerations and go with the t800 to fit more sleeper onto the same wheelbase as the w990 with less sleeper. As I age, I find that my "viewpoint" leans more toward practicality than "cool factor". Rough riding trucks have contributed to my spinal troubles... Noisy cabs have stolen some of my hearing... And I notice more these days in little things... like how useful it is to be able to look down at your steer tire when the maneuvering gets truly "tight", or how much more comfortable I am standing up right from my seat rather than walking "hunched over" into the sleeper. I've always considered the w900L a pretty even match to the 379 extended hood (I just always found the seating of the 379 more comfortable to me personally)... But, IF certain deals come together in the next year or two... And, IF I am buying trucks... They will either be the w990 (meaning that I decided to trade some sleeper space for the the forward axle)... or the t800 (meaning that I decided that the sleeper space was worth the setback axle, and a less comfortable transition from the driver's seat to the sleeper). The choice will also depend partly on which options are on the table for the different sleeper configurations (such as windows where I want them, etc.)

Yup

It's a 680 with a hood. No comparison. I have a 680 / 500 Paccar with a 13 speed and I think it's the perfect truck. Do I wish I had a W-9? You're damn right I do!

It's a common practice with Kenworth to use the same cab and sleeper with different models. They have different hoods and what not. It's just like how the W900 and T800 are of course the W900 has been around before the T800, but it's still the same thing. Different hood, same cab/sleeper with a different front axle placement. You can even throw the T660 in that as well.

Awesome video Great work!

Great video Kenworth of Richfield. I’ve driven everything over the years! I know the feeling you talk about in the W9. My first W9 was heaven. The presence, the connection to the truck, definitely felt like the king of the road. As I get older the creature comforts of the 990 are looking good and the technology is coming weather we like it or not lol. I’ve driven with and trained lots of guys (scary) and man your shifting was impressive! A lot of guys talk the talk but can’t walk the walk.

Love the w900 studio as my all time favorite

Hands down W990 for me if I had to choose, but I drive a T680.

Those are 2 beautiful trucks. I don't like the collision system because of the errors that occur with it. Otherwise I feel that if I had a choice, I would choose the 900 over the 990. They both have pros and cons but to me, the 900 is the best choice. I love old school feel.

the w900 I'm old school

900. The fenders on the 990 are too high and too much gap around the tires. The headlights are too high too. Quieter, smoother ride is better for your body, eventhough the raw feel of the old truck is better for your soul. That tall hood is cool as hell...until you have to back into an 80 year old warehouse in the northeast and can't see the F150 in front of you.

Agree to high. Low, long, & lean is cooler. Seems like the dealers have a bent to get us away from our independence. Looks like a sissy truck.

Well this was a very good head-to-head comparison.

The best line is at the end, when he announces the winner: "The winner is you." Different trucks, and a world of different drivers. Looks like Kenworth respects those who love and have made the W9 what it is - the best of the world's best. They're still building it. You don't "move up" to the 990, you move sideways. More room (except that short studio!), better vis, quieter cab. Might appeal more to younger drivers, maybe not. At least there's a choice. Fenders, headlights, grill - the differences are big and obvious. Damn, I just can't get past the "raw" beauty of the W900.

Old is always better, will last far longer and looks much better.

Don't know, I had to drive an old Freightshaker FLD day cab a couple years ago (was a 99 and this was in 2017) and it was falling apart, the passenger window was stuck down and none of the switches were labeled. I was glad when the company took it off the road and put me in a relatively newer 02 Century day cab

@joshuaweiser459

Firebird that's because they didn't maintain the truck and with it being a day cab most local trucks see different drivers every day with slip seating so they take the control away from drivers because the driver is never in the same truck long enough too care

We all fell in love with trucks bcuz it's our first truck or saw the truck and the reason why we love trucks. The w990 and w900l is the same story with Pete 520 and 320. The 520 may have the "luxury" look with the nex design in the cab as a vocational rig. But I always will choose the 320. I love that truck. I remember seeing them on all the trash trucks and now the 520 is swiping the industry. Every person knows that the newer trucks lack that "classic truck" feeling. As a truck a fanatic, I miss the old days when the doors were made of the metal and not plastic like cars. Bring back the good old days! 😭😭 Miss pete 320 era tbh. Same with those classic Pete 359s or Freightliner century or w900L. Beautiful rigs.

I AM - "Old School" - never even touched a "single stick" box until I started driving for someone else in 1996, after having been an OO since 1972 and my last two (had three) were Ext. hood "A" model KW's with V12 Detroits (which I built to marine specs) with Dbl Over 6X4 Spicers and 60" flat tops. My first KW I bought new in 1976 and my last one, I bought new in 1982 (last year of the "A" model & last year of the V12 in KW's).... sure wish I had kept either or both of them, now.... and my first one as well, which was a 1969 359 Ext. hood Pete, also with a V12 but NA (Naturally Aspirated) and with Spicer single Over 5X4 which I bought just slightly used (only had 28,300+ miles on it) from a friend of my dads who had a heart attack just 4 months after he bought it, and had to park it and retire. I bought it after I returned from Nam the last time for $10,000. Actually wish I had kept all three, especially knowing what their "getting" for them now.... Yikes!! As for these new trucks... including the modern day KW 900.... you can have them All.... I'll take my old "A" model extended hoods any day, complete with the V12's I built and a good set of "sticks" behind it.... FAR beyond the comprehension of today's "steering wheel holder" wannabe "truckers".... especially those I see climbing out of the cabs of trucks pulling reefers. dry-vans and some flatbeds.... it's Really sad and Embarrassing to see the type of people that "trucking", especially in those types of carriers are attracting these days. There is no more respect and very little to No camaraderie anymore between drivers like we use to have, either.... it's really going down the toilet in many ways.... just as the country as a whole, is. Sad, but very true. Historically, ALL great civilizations have come to an end, one way or another.... and this country's time is just about "up"... Sadly! One thing that this country has in common with all the other great civilizations of the past just before they "disappeared" from power.... Mass & Gross Corruption throughout government!!
