Nice looking truck that took the old bank account down

Holy fing money bags. Nice!

bootifull KW

the one that i need😎

rolling footage of this would be killer.

Must have been real close to 200k

sharp, but costly,,

Can you take a vid of the inside? Our Kenworths here in Australia look majorly different. Looks great tho 😁

Very nice! ....13

Sweet! Can we hear it run?

You don't miss the peeper / blind spot window in the passenger door? I've always ran W900s, T660, T800 with them and really miss it when I am in one of these T880s.

Never heard anyone say" def fluid and all that good stuff" hahah

awesome looking truck..how many yards can you haul? the bed looks huge

Chris there is nothing good about DEF fluid. lol

Nice... What's the gross weight?

Nice truck, may I ask how much they go far?

Nice, but why an automatic?

nice lookin truck, how many yards can it cerres.? in the back of the truck

Nice truck Chris, good luck with it. How much does something like this cost?

what are those 2 rows of tyres for at the front? are the drop axles or just spares

Def = thousands Take it off and it would really fly. Nice truck

Have you had any problems with your front hubs leaking? I pull lowboy with the T8 80 and we can't get mine to quit leaking.

Sharp truck! I had a couple gray/silver cars in the past and they were invisible to a LOT of people. Hope this is NOT.

I say you remove the def when the warranty is off, it will increase your power and fuel mileage by a bit, and you don't have to worry about any of the def and regeneration crap

KW is the finest you can buy.

Do you have a CDL?

lol everyone and their mom in eastern nc seem to be getting T880s

Can you do a video driving the truck

Three and a half years later you are changing the side boards. Is that about an average life span? It's certainly a sharp looking truck, and I bet it is nice to drive. We can see why John likes to do the dump truck driving.

Very nice truck!!! How's it do going in and out of dirt pits? Here in my part of Louisiana most dirt pits won't even let a tri axle in. Here the other day I was watching a pad go in and the tandem trucks were going in and out but the tri axles could barely get past the culvert at the road. Dozer had to have them dump then push to the pad. Do y'all have issues like that? I'm just curious your take!!

The tri axles did. The tandems had diff locks only.

Do your mirrors rattle like hell when it's idling? That's the only complaint I have about them. They ride like Cadillacs though, and the seat is like a recliner.

Good Idea to go with the Cummins Power and the 6 spd as for the DEF once you get to know how it works and how to handle the fluid it will not be too bad

How about a longer more in depth video on the truck? Maybe include the interior. Thanks

whats the 2 middle axles for ? are they retractable we dont have them in Australia only on prime mover trailers

Yes, they operate up and down with air bags. Some states have laws about weight per axles, the one he is in I believe is pretty strict.

that's a very nice truck it Kenworth the best

Congratulations on the video !! Do you travel many days or sleep at home every day? What is the annual salary? The truck and your?I write here from Brazil....??@

How come you guys didn't get blue like the old one

why an 880 over the T800? just curious what your comparison between the two is?

why you got one with automatic for?

Arrgh!!!! Nothing in trucking drives me crazier than automatic transmissions. Been driving over 30 years and nothing gives a skilled driver more control or better traction or climbs better than a good 13 or 18 speed manual. Otherwise this equipment should more than earn it's keep.

careful. Sure them damn operators don't splash mud on it.

Nice truck, please get me one.

why not order it with a box with higher sides?. no need for that flimzy bords on top then hehe

Steven Middagh I.respecr your opinoon, I personally have a bias toward manual.transmissions with many ratios such as the 13 and 18 speed models for this one reason: driver control. Let's talk about control in descending hills and deacceleration. I live in Oregon and hauled logs and heavyhauled for decades and have operated both manuals and automatics. Some of the roads we haul on are so steep, riding or pumping service brakes going down hill or over long repeated deacceleratiins will overheat the brakes. Our highway roads out here are really steep as well. If you've ever spoken to an old timer he could tell you at one time engineers designed trucks with water systems to cool the brakes, well today we still have something better, the radiator, the colder surrounding environment, or the drivetrain. See, what these engineers don't know that we who have been in the industry do is that with more rarios comes more opportunities to.keep the engine in the best possible operating range for the best engine braking. If you can "split" all the gears on the low and high side you are never more than 250 or so R.P.M. from your best engine braking range. Instead of using the 6 speed automatic and overspending then stabbing the brakes to control the truck then overspending again then stabbing you can keep the heat from the kinetic energy out of the the brake liners and put the heat in the heat sink (the radiator and exhaust system etc) and not only save on brake liner wear and save money, but you keep the truck in the same gear, maintain the same speed during descending a grade thus giving the driver better control of the vehicle. Also, there is less flex in the drive shaft, rearends, and axle shafts because there is less speed modulation. The heat also goes into the rearends AND the transmission where there is much more surface area for heat control and oil and air for cooling. The problem isn't that we have the wrong gadgets to do the job it's that the operators (yes I didn't say drivers) aren't using the equipment properly. Also for those of you who say you don't like shifting In traffic well there is a really cool technique called skip shifting if you're empty. The new automatic trannies don't really last longer than the manuals do either, thats a myth. For this reason there are several large carriers I know of that are going back to manuals. It dosent matter what component you consider, the responsibility for componemt longevity falls squarely on the shoulders of the operator. This is just another example of how some companies are trying to sell us gadgetry we don't need to do what we humans can already do better.

I've driven both the Allison 6 speed and a Fuller manual. While I prefer a manual because I feel you have more control over the truck, that automatic can hold its own, and it's great in traffic.

Something like cost must have cost $150,000 or more.Since yo have Volvo construction equipment a Mack Granite would have been a great choice

More likely a truck like that would sell for around $225,000 delivered, maybe more. That size truck is very expensive.
