The Kenworth W900 is a model line of conventional-cab trucks produced by the American truck manufacturer Kenworth. In continuous production since 1961, the W900 is among the longest-running nameplates in American automotive history. The "W" in W900 denotes Worthington, one of the two founders of Kenworth.[1]Produced exclusively as Class 8 truck, the W900 is offered in multiple configurations. Alongside several semitractor layouts, the W900 is also produced as a rigid truck. During much of its production, the W900 has been popular among owner-operators. Along with the Peterbilt 359/379/389, the W900 is a popular basis for truck customization, including additional chrome trim, wheels, custom paint, and additional lighting.In 2018, Kenworth introduced the W990 as a flagship model line[2]; as of 2019, the W900 continues production.

In 1956, Kenworth introduced the 900-series conventional-cab truck, replacing the 500-series introduced in 1939. As with its predecessor, the 900-series shared the chassis of the Kenworth cabover, replacing the "Bullnose" Kenworth COE with the Kenworth K900. As before, a side-opening "butterfly" hood was standard, but a forward tilting fiberglass hood became an option for the first time.In 1961, Kenworth introduced the W900 conventional as the replacement for the 900-series. As part of several major design changes, the cab was completely redesigned, raising the height of the cab roof and windows and mounting the two windshield panes together. To better allow for engine cooling, the radiator was widened slightly, with the tilting hood made standard. While the headlights remained fender-mounted, the housings were faired into the fenders.Model overview[edit]
In production for over 57 years, the Kenworth W900 has been produced in three basic generations: the "narrow-hood" W900 (1961-1966) and the "wide-hood" W900A (1967-1982) and W900B (1982-present). Currently (as of 2018) there are three versions of the W900B sold. Alongside the standard W900B, there is the extended-hood W900L (introduced in 1989) and the sloped-hood W900S (introduced in 1987); the W900S is similar to the T800, except for its set-forward front axle.W900 (1961-1966)[edit]In contrast to the 900-series and 500-series Kenworth conventionals, the cab introduced "bulkhead-style" doors (with full-length hinges). In another change, the roof panel was changed from metal to fiberglass. While functionally different, the W900 retained the wide-style vent windows, with door handles mounted below the windows.W900A (1967-1982)[edit]In 1967, the W900 underwent its first major change and was renamed the W900A. To accommodate larger diesel engines, the hood was widened several inches to further increase radiator size. For 1972, the doors of the W900 were changed, with the model adapting larger windows, narrower vent windows; for ease of use, the door handles were re-positioned to the bottom of the doors and changed from a lever-style to a pull-style configuration. In 1973, the Kenworth badging was changed, with a redesigned grille emblem and hood badging. And in 1974, A new 60" flattop double sleeper was available as a factory optionIn 1976, Kenworth introduced the Aerodyne sleeper cab for the W900A. Distinguished by its twin skylight windows, Aerodyne was the first factory-produced sleeper cab with a raised roof.After the 1982 introduction of the W900B, the W900 continued production in Mexico (Kenmex), adopting the latter model's rectangular headlamps.W900B (1982-present)[edit]During 1982, Kenworth introduced the W900B as a replacement for the W900A. While largely distinguished by its introduction of rectangular headlamps (though round headlamps initially remained an option), the W900B underwent further modification. To further accommodate increased engine cooling, the hoodline was raised, requiring the cab to be mounted higher on the frame.Since the introduction of the W900B, Kenworth has introduced two variants of the W900. In 1987, the W900S was introduced, adopting the sloped hood of the T800. In 1990, the W900L was introduced as a longer version, extending the BBC from 120 to 130 inches.
