kenworth fans ◊ 2011-09-29 04:40	I'ts not a "W900" Actually a "T950". The Australian version of conventional w900 in the U.S, you can recognise the "Higher" footstep under the entrance door to the cab, it became a trademark for the australian conventional kenworth series.....

The T-950 looks similar (also introduced in 1992/93), but T-950s have a slanted bonnet, and are typically used on paved roads due to having lower ground clearance. The headlights on the T-950 also don't protrude as far from the body as on the C-Series. Ddey65 wrote Does the W900 exist in the outback? The sleeper cab makes me think it's also an Aerodyne. Yes, the W-900 was sold (and built in) Australia from 1971-1987. It was replaced by the Australian developed T-900 in 1991 (and supplemented by the T-950 and C-501 variants in 1992). -- Last edit: 2026-03-13 11:05:24
