I wish they d drop the background music and include the shop sounds a voice over explanation. I can never finish these videos-it is just too annoying
I agree that would've been way better.
Can’t do it, too much cussing going on in the background 😂😂 trust me I work there lol
@@tyleralthouse5079 Lol.
@@raven7068 would’ve been even better if they had the actual employees who build these trucks in the video. Instead they used upper management and engineering and Q/A to make the video, doing things they have no clue about.
@@tyleralthouse5079 Trust me I know what you mean, my warehouse is the same way.
Gute Musik, gute Arbeitsatmosphaere, gutes Produkt, eben KENWORTH
Real talk though this was beautiful. An American plant just showing you their day. Back when we all had hours to work and no one was scared to be near each other. God bless all my fellow blue collar workers just clocking in to make that living. It’s not glamour, but it’s pure pride.
I agree, to be more precise on what they're doing. Instead of background music, they explained what parts to be installed from start to finish.
I love kenworth It’s a real American made trunk
In my career as a diesel mechanic, I've been on tours of both of their assembly plants. It's even more impressive in person.
Where are they located??

Hubby did Chassis paint prep, at Seattle and Renton plant... I worked at Renton plant.. when ever we talk about the line most people have a hard time comprehending start with 2 rails and in 1/4 mile you have a complete turn key ready truck....
That company hire woman who speak Spanish?
Mine was a 1998 T800 Aerocab with mid roof sleeper that was built at Renton for 1998 Mid America Truck Show display. Custom all pearl paint scheme. First owner was mid size Pennsylvania company that bought it at the show. Still a solid cab and frame when I bought it on 2008.
Will Kenworth allow a customer to purchase a truck directly from the manufacturer and watch his/her truck being built from scratch? Love seeing all races and both genders working together. My kinda place!!!
The trucks are purchased through the dealer organization but you can get a plant tour scheduled to meet the timing of your chassis being on the line. you can pick which assy procedure you would like to see, as in engine going in or cab being placed...
@@twisties12345 If I can just get it from the manufacturer, I could eliminate the "destination charge"! That would save me some pesos!!! "Dollars"
@@GotLove4All Must purchase through a dealer.
@@MS3DALE I know that,thanx. Just thought I'd ask incase of a potential loop hole that would allow me to purchase from the manufacturer that I didn't know about.

Very misleading. The engines are not assembled in the truck assembly palnt. Thats just one of the misconceptions I saw here.
Pag us made grabe ang quality ng work nila matibay ba mahusay pagka gawa!
Man I really enjoyed watching this video, I love Trucks.
I feel like i remember this on netflix but i can remember the name of it

Kenworth is the best American truck I know I'm in this business for more than 40 years.
You are absolutely right! Kenworth is very common here in Colombia 👍🏻
Вот вам пример применения высоких технологий и многолетнего опыта при производстве грузовиков.Легендарный бренд.
И при чем они эти технологии со всего белого света скупали, немцы также делают!!!
технологии то где? конструкция на уровне первой половины 20-го века. про долю ручного труда в производстве вообще молчу.
visited Freightliner Assembly about 25 years ago. Tech has changed a lot
Limda a produção dessas máquinas..
Não sou caminhoneiro,Mais deu vontade de ser um e ter dinheiro pra comprar um caminhão desse ,com toda essa tecnologia.
K-Whopper you did yourself proud again! Thanks for the build.
Your joking

This is a work of art 👍
I love the classic. 80s built peterbilt... What giant powerful gidzillas they were!
i cant get enough of these type of videos!!
That's what she said
Such A miracle salute human mind wow great great great great great great great great great great what a production
Best American made trucks ever
There's something hypnotic about seeing these trucks naked and then being completed
Robotics is amazing.
I salute all of our men and women, engineers and mechanics, for me it always seems hard until i learn how to do it.👍
Really I m so impressed 4 your truck made I love amrican trucks

Beautiful trucks...
Nice vid. Thaanks
The music beat is so obnoxious it was frothing the glass of milk I had next to my laptop speaker.
Kenworth trucks are made in Australia as well, they are #1 seller in class 8 trucks here. They are built to a more heavy duty spec than the North American Kenworths though.
North American trucks can be built to any spec the customer wants. 600 horses, 2050 trq ,18 spd, 69,000 lb tridrive axles, 20,000lb steer axles. Thats for highway service. Off highway, the skys the limit.
@@bmdbigfeet1031 Same here. You can build them to any spec you want. That’s one reason they are so popular here, even though they are more expensive than any other truck.
Crazy that they're still running those early NiCd Makita cordless tools. I keep mine just for nostalgia, but I guess they're such a staple in industry that Batteries+ still stocks replacements for them.
It's because this video is made from a bunch of pieces of other videos. Heck at 7:47 they are assembly a t-600 that the last model year was 2007.
Un sueño 😍
Kenworth is the best track In World. Georgia-Tbilisi.
Please ditch the music. Some of us would much rather hear the factory floor noise
@kaz z yes
Yes some videos are ruined by music
They probably didnt get the video with live audio. These plants just dont let people come in a record . People are clueless to who owns the unedited video.
@@TheTrill334 if they let them record the plant during the assembly but they prohibited them used the audio I think you're the clueless
@@abdonmorales7361 no you are clueless . Because you dont know if the video is second hand . Whoever edited the video made a decision to use the music for a reason . The video could be stock video from the plant and has no audio.
Why it feels like they are building ironman.. awesome work.

Wwoooow..Amazing
AMAZING !!! The complexity of each piece of Engineering be out of my imaganition, and its only a truck why about a container ship ?? a militar planes or spaceship , all science , Engineering and technical disciplines working togheter cause and éxtasis in my mind as an orchestra creating beautiful music
He has anyone noticed these newer engines needs rebuild around 300.000 miles or 200.000 and the older endings need it around 700.00 0
Maybe it has to do with the EGR. They do a number on the motor.
I'm sure it's the def and all the emission stuff now before motors went 1 million
Have you noticed that newer engines don't put out as much pollution as some 20 year old crap?
I love the old design..could repower an older truck. I like something I can work on myself.
The newer engines are pure garbage! Sitting in my 2018 peterbilt 567 right now, Cummins powered 99,373 miles, already lower end knocking. All these newer trucks with their emissions sound like a wimpy little queef when they pass you. It's just disgraceful!
Power muscle performance endurance the bloodline of America that's Kenworth
Love kenworth but everything is too computerized now, nothing like old school trucks that were simple to fix
Like those new trucks but I'll stick to my 2000 kenworth t600.
I got me a 1975 w900A dump truck, putting it as a semi as well as going to a cat3406b, got the engine for a steal deal and rated at 550hp
@Big soup. Good luck.., mine is a N14 525hp , still. Running good.
@@Freyes2017 oh sweet man, must got a nice pull, how is it when under load and such?
Pills hard but not as good as a CAT . Sad part is that it's 10 speed, want to switch it over to a 13 next year.
I was going to comment on the sound ( you couldn't really call it music ) but I noticed so many other people have also done so.. My K104 has just turned 2.2 million k's mostly running B doubles around 65 ton. Most of it is still original, Cat C 16, 18 speed Road Ranger box..
This Is an awesome video, I've been doing some research on the paccar engines as well I have to admit I am a fan now.
Stay away from the paccar engines they are very expensive to repair and maintain because everything is proprietary and you can only get parts from a paccar dealership.
Paccar engines are not well received in the trucking community. I am looking at purchasing a Kenworth T680 in the near future, and everyone has told me don't buy one with a Paccar engine.
@@lucasw2880 WHY. T680 is straight garbage. Buy a fucking Cascadia
@@elpusegato as someone who is in a lease with 2019 T680 with the shitty paccar, privately contracting to do a local route for a customer, and having my truck break down. They let me use their 2020 Cascadia. I can tell you right now that it just straight up pissed me off. Literally EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of that Cascadia was INFINITELY better than the t680. The only thing I liked better about the T680 compared to the cascadia was the fucking badge on the steering wheel. LMAO. Everything from engine noise, to exhaust brake noise, to suspension comfort, to power, to acceleration, to the transmission and the programming, it skips gears to accelerate more efficiently, as opposed to my t680 which will start out in 2-4th gear, and go through every single gear to get to 12 bobtailing. To the fact that the cascadia steering wheel actually has finger grooves in it, as opposed to my T680 that only has 127k on it and the steering wheel is basically a fucking PVC pipe at this point. If it's not humid and sticky outside, the only grip you have on the steering wheel is the amount of pressure you're squeezing the steering wheel with. Fact of the matter is, freightliner throws all of their money into R&D for their cascadias, but for Kenworth, shorthood trucks are a complete after thought for them and MAN... driving both of those trucks back to back REALLY showed that fact.
Work on one pacar engine, or attempt to. Then you won't be a fan. POS. In fact Pacers own recommendation to our shop trying to repair for compression in cooling system, was to replace engine with Cummins isx.
I use to haul parts into the plant in Renton Washington
@Hello Frank how are you doing?
At one time trucks were something to dream about. Now they're just throw away pieces junk that will be in the junk yard long before they should be thanks to the trash at the epa.
I’m not so sure that’s true, I work on HD Cummins engines everyday the engines are as reliable as ever all the “EPA components” are just that components that’s like saying if you got a flat tire you’d have to throw the whole car away. The EGR systems require a little more work now but with regular cleaning intervals they’ll be fine as well. The DPF’s DEF equipment is among the least reliable but I don’t understand how anyone would justify throwing an entire truck away for a bad part
@@DillonV I own 75 trucks and lease another 260. All my trucks are pre emmisions the rest are newer model trucks with all the stuff on them. 90% of my break dows are emmisions related. Had a sensor in a 2019 cascadia go out on a driver a few weeks ago and his truck drated in a bad rain storm on a road with no shoulder and he was rear ended by a log truck. He wasn't out of def but the truck said he was. I rarely have any issues out of my older trucks the newest one is a 04 379 with a 6nz cat. Eventually my plan is to run nothing but old iron and get away from leasing all together. These new trucks are too much of a headache and are starting to cost me more money then they make. Get me an emmisions truck that can run a million miles without any major issues then we'll talk but until then I'll stick to trucks that actually make me money.
Que lindo se ve esa ensambladora
excellent music 💫
Beautiful US TRUCKS 2❤.... watching from Germany
I drive a kenworth, awesome 👌😎
Wow, a lot has changed since I worked there in the 80's!
Did you work with Ridgeway at all? Or were you at one of the other factories?
@@trossk Yes, I knew him (briefly). I did work on the line with him (he worked in the paint shop and I worked on the assembly line). They would bring out the completed cabs and sleepers and we would install them onto the chassis.
@@Libslayer dang. That's crazy/scary/creepy.

Quiero trabajar en esa empresa esta excelente..
Very nice trucks factory ! From France !
This is why Kenworth and Peterbilt are above Freightliner and all other brands. It shows in the truck. Million miles on one and it still feels sturdy and in one piece.
Kenworth trucks were used during the logging era in Sabah Borneo, 70- 80an
Amazing how these big companies were able to cut costs by so much and still be selling these trucks so expensive
The big wigs are over payed why others sweat n bust there butt and underpaid
Kenworth Mexicana is best Kenworthn🤓☝🏻
American exceptionalism.
I found in my life time that Americans don’t take pride in there work or the products they build. This is Americans time to shine again. Let’s make America great again.
