Chronology
SuccessorKenworth T660

While aerodynamic devices (such as roof fairings) had been introduced on Class 8 trucks in the mid-1970s, the T600 was the first American semitractor designed from the ground up with aerodynamics and fuel economy in mind. Sharing design commonality with the Class 8 W900, the T600 differs from its counterpart largely with its set-back front axle, hood, and lower bodywork (with the Aerocab later adopted by the W900L).

For 2008, the T600 model line was replaced by the T660. While sharing the T600 cab structure, the hood and lower bodywork of the T660 were extensively redesigned.
