The MX-11 is well-regarded for its balance of power and fuel efficiency, making it an excellent choice for demanding applications such as construction, tanker hauling, and municipal services. Its inline 6-cylinder turbocharged design ensures strong low-end torque, ideal for towing, climbing, and heavy load hauling.
The engine is paired with a smooth-shifting Paccar 10-speed automatic transmission (model P016F112C), which offers a wide range of gears to maximize power delivery and fuel economy across various driving conditions. The truck features a tandem (6x4) drivetrain configuration, with two rear drive axles and an inter-axle differential lock to enhance traction on challenging terrain. The super single rear tires (455/55R23.5) improve stability and reduce rolling resistance, while the front axle is equipped with 11R 22.5 tires for durability and maneuverability.
With a GVWR of 52,500 lbs, this truck is engineered to carry substantial payloads, supported by an air suspension system that enhances ride comfort and load handling. The tandem rear axles have a combined Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) of 40,000 lbs, while the front axle supports up to 12,500 lbs, ensuring balanced weight distribution and stability.
Safety and driver comfort are prioritized through features such as adaptive cruise control, lane assist, automatic air conditioning, and power windows, locks, and mirrors. The truck also comes equipped with power take-off (PTO) capabilities and suspension dump functions, making it highly versatile for a variety of vocational tasks.
The robust frame and drivetrain, combined with advanced electronic systems and durable components, make this Kenworth a dependable workhorse capable of handling heavy loads while maintaining efficiency and driver safety. Its estimated towing capacity, based on a typical GCWR, ranges from 27,500 to 37,500 lbs, making it well-suited for trailer hauling in demanding environments.
In summary, this Kenworth vocational truck offers a powerful and efficient powertrain, advanced driver assistance features, and a rugged chassis designed to tackle heavy-duty tasks with confidence and reliability.
