The W900 has always been the ultimate, over the top, in your face, sweet large car with huge air breathers, huge stacks, huge grill, a mile long hood, leading to a massive Texas bumper all wrapped in deep chrome. The W900 driver is NOT about fuel economy, an all plastic interior, and most of all just another plane Jane truck. It always has been said if you are in a W900 you have conquered the trucking industry and ride in style. This is just an International 9900 with a KW logo.

the big task was not creating the w990. it was trying to figure out how to convince people that it even compares to the w900L

This truck is the lovechild of an international 9900i and a freightliner coronado.

I love this rig! I think it’s modern day truck for 2019/2020 that will leave its mark like the W900. This W990 looks like it feels comfortable and feels more than your king of the road w/ 2050lbs. of torque. Add a HERD super-train brush guard and this thing I think will be big, mean, and Boss of the road! Can’t wait to my hands on one!

Should have kept the air cleaners!

I fuckin love it. And I absolutely loved my old W900 i used to have. To me its a worthy addon to the lineup. I don't listen to grumpy old farts who can't change a lil bit here and there. For 1, I've got more miles in reverse than they do forward, and 2, I'm willing to be open to new designs and new tech. If it makes my job easier and more comfortable, im all for it. And these new W990's are way more comfortable riding than my old W900. They're not as intimidating as the old style, but they still have a certain flare to them. Still looks better than most other trucks on the road.

The same cliches of "everything that isn't W900 will fall apart" is silly, just like their thoughts on image being more important than safety and comfort. Of course, these are the same people who also fight over football and car brands, which is really just about as stupid as it gets. A smart person would know that you either adapt or die in this world.

I'm not gonna poo poo all on it, but I wanted it to look more the w9 from the 70's. I already priced out the specs for one and trust me I did everything I could to get a glider. A 3" drop front axle with air ride and a 275" frame. Custom diamond interior, a detuned paccar (to save money and for emissions) I got my own trans and rear ends to put in. All in all came out to be around 149k. Let's not forget that the factory backorder is always 3 to 7 months behind.

As a owner of a 2009 Kenworth W900L I can honestly State I am not a fan of the 990. I fully understand the evolution of Design Within the industry on tractors. But the 990 even though it is Destin to replace the W900 it will never have the Regal look AKA presents of a W900. I remember when Peterbilt announce the day was stopping production of the 379 and the outrage that came from the loyal customers of the industry industry. If I remember correctly Peterbilt quickly redesign the 379 to be the current 389 just so they wouldn't lose the loyal customer base. I hope Kenworth does well with his new design but no you'll never replace the W 900. Looks like Part International, part Freightliner Coronado and dare I say it little bit of Swedish meatball Volvo mixed in.

The future is not in the T 680, 880 or the W990. The entire platform is cheap at best, these trucks fall apart in record time.

I still like the air intakes of the W990, it's just something different that a lot of people can't get over it. Like Jonathan said " it's making no apologies for what it is "

It’s a fucking 680 with a different hood. And what disgust me the most is nothing about it inside has the “truck” feel. It’s a fucking 680 inside. Hey and you know what, the 680 is a good ride, but a totally different class of truck. I think this is a great truck, but in regards to ever be a flagship or replace the 900... no just hell no.

I don’t understand the flack for this truck. It’s keeping the spirit of the long hood alive and well in the modern era full of aerodynamic blobs and anteaters.

I think it looks great. Just wish they could upscale the interior for it. Rather than a direct swap from the 680 series tractor. Obviously the cab is that of the 680 but they could have made this with its own interior. Give the market another reason to buy it besides just the hood.

What Kenworth is doing with the 2.1 meter cab is no different from what they've done with cab on the T600,T800, W900 lines and the medium duty line. So it makes sense to add a long hood model to go along with the T680 and T880. I'm just wondering when the medium duty line will see the wider cab cause that line could use it. Freightliner, International and Hino in that market trucks have so much better visibility and room in the cab versus the Kenworths and Peterbilts.

Paccar in Australia have been slow to adopt that type of roof.

That dude sounds Canadian don't you know hey

Do you think this guy would say it sucks if he thought it did... especially with the KW reps sitting in the sleeper.... do you think he'd ever get a KW test ride again if he did ?

Wonder if the hood is gonna split and crack like the t800 i drove. What a shame to look at a beauitful logging truck and at the top of the grill corners a nasty crack on each side 8 inches long.

for those thinking the 990 is going to replace the w900..... knock it off. the w900 isnt being replaced. kw is keeping the w900 in production. this truck is just a new design of a truck. i kinda like it. i own a 05 w900l and love it,however id prolly love the w990 as well

Ehh... Just another T680 with a different hood and bumper. Which isn't a bad thing, those trucks are good, but what makes the W900L iconic is the unique long nose and the fact that the air breathers were sticking out on the outside, and we can't forget, that the W900 is the only factory built truck, that offers 86 inches of living space,two cabinets on each side of the sleeper and a couch.

As long as it has a clutch I’m good

I guess it's okay, we'll get used to it. Put some red, black and gold Seminole type stripes on a white W990 and see how that looks.

Don't know what the uproar is about. It's a new model for Kenworth utilizing the 2.1 meter cab and cab and sleeper. The grill the way they designed it makes sense. It favors the new generation of Kenworth trucks T680/T880 and the medium duty line just with the vertical bar of the W900. Not sure what people expect, guess they didn't wanna see this truck. The truck shares parts and looks from other Kenworth models, just with a long hood. If you like it buy it, if not then keep buying the W900.

As of now the W900 is not going anywhere. It'll be rolling off the assembly line with the T680, T880, W990 and the T800.

@@petmitsu I wouldn't say that. As long as people are still ordering the W9 they'll continue to make them. People thought that when the T880 came out that the T800 was gonna be discontinued, but it's still in the market with the T880. I'd say it'll be around for a while. I also heard that as of 2025 no more air cleaners outside of the trucks. So time well tell, so you W900 guys who wanna keep it in production need to keep on with the orders.

@@petmitsu nope, last I recalled the W900 and T800 made up like 10% of their orders/sales. T680 & T880 are their biggest sellers. The W990 isn't gonna be a guarantee seller. Fleet sales are probably Kenworths best customers. Not sure if the W990's hood is gonna be to their liking. Peterbilts 389 seems to be a better seller than the W9. That truck was around 30+% of Peterbilts orders. We're just gonna have to sit back and see what will happen.

They have no imaginacion it's a international 9900i shell Whit all off the Kenworth shit in it I'm international fan.

Sure is, and the boss really likes it. Hopefully my next new truck will be one of them. Unfortunately according to Kenworth it's gonna be like a 60 week waiting period for getting one of them.

At 1:54 , that W990 looks to much the same as International, Freightliner. I did like to see how many designs before KW came up with the new W990. I know you want to make the truck look arrow dynamic but this does not look like the W900. What makes people be drawn in is if the hint of W900 is mixed in to the new W990. In other words, the maker taken the classic out of the W900 and made it more future friendly but not much add-ons you can put for the new truck on the out side though. But at the end, all the trucks will soon merge to one looking the same. They are slowly doing that. Mack, KW, Freightliner, International, Western star and Petebilt. But the classic look will all ways win over the the drivers because it looks better to the eyes as well the designs.

Pete will be selling a lot more 389s

Its a re badged t680 with leather thats it .

I dont know whats the fuse about this truck Just put a pair of round headlight & put a nice C-15-3406b or an N14 cummins or a Signiture 600 and your good to go
