I've always had this love for huge trucks. And my favorite line so far? Kenworth, perhaps. That's why when a friend asked me if I can make one more review of another used Kenworth vehicle, I immediately said 'sure'. Well of course, we all have our favorites, but I personally chose Kenworth since their rigs have highly versatile characters. They are tough in terms of look and performance, and each one were engineered and designed specifically to deal with the businesses' heavy duty hauling and transporting missions. Today, granting my friend's request, I will be reviewing the 2010 version of the Kenworth T658 prime mover truck. I hope you can join me again so you can also see if this rig will be a good fit for your trucking and hauling biz. …show more content…
The classic 2008 version of the truck is armed with a Caterpillar C15 Acert engine, but in 2012, the American and Australian manufacturer decided to give it an update. So now, the 2010 T658 model boasts a strong Cummins ISX engine with an output of up to 580 HP.

If you'll ask me, I believe that this is one of the best features of the vehicle.

This is the brand new Hellcat 6.2L Hemi engine. This is what is put in the new Challengers/Chargers. This beast can push out over 700hp of power. But soon enough the V8 is going go away and everything is going to V6s which sucks but that’s how things are going

On a new option added to the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado is the transmission brake which gears the transmission down on a steep grade while towing a heavy load. This option is only offered through Chevrolet. As of right now it is not available on Ford’s. The 2011 Ford F150 is the heaviest truck of this year’s half ton family. It weighed about 6000 pounds. The truck comes equipped with Ford’s 5.4L Triton V8. The truck was the slowest of the new half-ton trucks because of its large mass. The new F150 was least classified to pull a fifth wheel camper or other large trailers even though it has best in class towing. Although it seems as if it is not meant for towing heavy loads, the exterior and interior is attractive thanks to its chrome accents, but that doesn’t matter when you are getting around 13 miles per gallon.
These engines had a lot more horsepower and torque than the previous engines and made the trucks able to pull a heavier load. The new engines made up to 56 horsepower in this generation and 146 foot-pounds of torque and where 194 cubic inches(Bunn, Chevrolet Trucks). Chevy still didn’t have beds on their trucks until 1930 then they started to put a bed on the trucks and made the cab a little bit bigger and more comfortable (Williams, 95 Years of Chevy Pickup History). Chevy also put a better, easier to shift, 3-speed synchromesh transmission. This was a great improvement because you could drive smoother, it was easier to drive the truck and you could pull a heavier load. The synchromesh style transmissions are still used in all of the manual transmissions on the road today. In 1936 they put full length water jackets on all of their engines. The full length water jackets made the engines run cooler and prevent them from overheating. This also let them make the engine bigger and were moved from 194 to 207 cubic inches.
I own a 1979 F150 XLT Ranger. Before the Ranger became a compact truck, it was full size. Mine happens to be 4 wheel drive. I love it. I have been the proud owner for 15 years. I will never sell it. It is too easy to keep runnin'. Parts are affordable, and it is EASY to work on. Any of you who own and older Ford truck know what I'm talking about. So here is my tribute lens to the Ford truck.
