“The PACCAR front axle with standard track is an important addition for the vocational market as it provides the best axle/wheel/tire combination to achieve a 20,000-pound rating with 425-series tires, while also offering excellent wheel-cut and maneuverability,” said Kurt Swihart, Kenworth marketing director.

The PACCAR front axle offers steering angles up to 50 degrees and has a five-year / 750,000 mile warranty, providing customers the peace of mind they have come to expect from Kenworth products.
