The K220 is a landmark model for Kenworth. An entirely different machine beneath a form factor that continues to acknowledge lineage on the one hand, yet pokes the bear on the other. Will K220 continue to honour one of the greatest evolutionary legacies in automotive history? Who knows, but Guy Knowles Transport offers one of the best transport operations in which to open its account.

The K220 is one nice truck, Im glad they kept most of the traditional Kenworth look, that new grille design is definitely an improvement over the K200, it reminds me of the K100 a little. Sad to see the iconic areodyne split-window sleeper cab go away though. Overall Kenworth did a great job with the K220!

I am the first to admit that I'm no truck driver, heck, I don't even like trucks....but this came onto my Youtube feed and made me feel the need to comment. Glad to see you still Trucking on Mr Knowles. My late Brother used to drive for you 20 odd years ago and I remember fondly riding in the passenger seat of, I think it was your 580 V8 Scania?, with Keveys emblazoned down the sides thinking, this is a fucking spaceship. I see the only change, besides Lionel not being in the drivers seat, is that it's a Kenworth...but still a fucking spaceship. I think of my brother every day and couldn't help but smile while I was watching this....very impressive Mr Knowles and I'm sure Lionel will be smiling too.

K220 looks awesome and great to still see a gearstick for real drivers!
How do you think they go for stability compared to bdouble we have across the ditch?
Cheers

Nice footage through the viaduct... what model drone are you using?

@Mand-jw9gi 2 years ago

Very cool. What is the cage in front of the windshield for, i.e. what is the hazard you are trying to protect yourself from? We just bought a small cab over, and love the improve turn radius, maneuverability, safety from being able to see further out (thus having more time to avoid collisions).
