KIRKLAND, Wash. — Kenworth has created a virtual tour so customers can get a good look at the 2006 model trucks from the comfort of their home.

The 360-degree virtual tour showcases the interior of the new T600, T800, W900 and C500 Class 8 trucks.

"Kenworth has made it easy for customers to tour the remarkable new 2006 models with new cab interior features right from their computer at home or on the road," said Steve Gilligan, Kenworth general marketing manager.

The virtual tour is available on Kenworth’s Web site at www.kenworth.com. Visitors to the site can view everything from the ceiling to the floor, cab to sleeper and driver’s side to passenger side while zooming in on areas of interest.

Kenworth says its 2006 Class 8 models offer an enhanced finish, increased driver comfort and multiplexed electronic instrumentation. There are 25 new standard features (many of which were previously options) on the new line, including DayLite doors with electric window lifts and power locks as well as gauges with chrome bezels.

The Kenworth Web site also offers a link to the new interior brochure, which is also available through dealers.

"The new online brochure is also a convenient way to learn more about Kenworth’s major product introduction and the key interior features which provide a whole new level of customer satisfaction," added Gilligan.
