In 1985, Kenworth rolled out a truck which changed the industry forever. Called the T600A, the truck was a sloped-nose conventional with a set-back front axle—a combination which gave drivers the comfort of a conventional and the maneuverability of a cabover.
Kenworth unveiled the C500B construction truck during the first part of 1988—a truck that combined the rugged durability of its predecessor, the C510, with the looks and cab comforts of Kenworth's T800. In addition, the Spring of 1988 saw Kenworth unveil the T400A, a tractor designed especially for the regional-haul marketplace. Further solidifying Kenworth's commitment to product advancement was the 1989 first quarter introduction of the Kenworth T450 construction truck.
