Kenworth adds reinforced front frame option for T880, T880S
Kenworth has rolled out a new reinforced front frame structure option for its T880 and T880S models.
The feature includes reinforced front-of-frame castings, crossmembers, kicker braces, and an implement plate behind the bumper. The design provides a high-strength mounting point for front-mounted equipment such as hose reels, snowplows, and steady legs.
Kenworth said the factory-prepared structure eliminates the need for aftermarket front suspension modifications, helping fleets and upfitters save time and money during installation.
The front frame structure is designed as an alternative to traditional parent rails for applications that do not require a front engine PTO drive. The company said the setup simplifies equipment installation without requiring modifications to the hood or cooling module, helping preserve driver visibility and reducing the need for unique parts.
The option is now available to order for the T880S with a set-forward front axle, while the T880 with set-back front axle configurations will be available later this year.
