What Happened
Kenworth today announced a special edition paint scheme celebrating the Freedom 250 initiative, honoring the Nation's 250th birthday. The design pays tribute to the iconic mid-1990s TourAmerica T600 paint scheme, reimagined for modern production. It is available on Kenworth T680, W900L, W990, and T880 models equipped with sleepers.
“This paint scheme is a nod to an important era in Kenworth’s legacy. The original TourAmerica T600 represented innovation and pride for drivers across the country. Bringing that design forward for today’s models allows us to honor that history as we celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday.”
