When choosing\u00a0the perfect prime mover truck to invest in, first, assess the\u00a0exact needs and requirements of your cargo or transport business. If some of the needs of your business is to carry tons\u00a0of solid goods and pull a single trailer and\u00a0B-Double combination to long distant destinations, then you probably need to go\u00a0for\u00a0a heavy-duty rig like the Kenworth T409<\/a>. What makes this \u201cmodern workhorse\u201d a good buy lies with its state-of-the-art\u00a0features and specs. We\u2019ll detail them one by one below before you decide to acquire it your local\u00a0truck dealer.<\/p>\n Powered by Cummins<\/em><\/p>\n Whichever road the T409 takes you, you can rest assured\u00a0that your oversized loads will be delivered to your desired destination safely and on time. That\u2019s because inside is a\u00a0Cummins ISXe5 engine that can punch out up to 600 horsepower and generate\u00a02050 lb\/ft of torque. Kenworth is actually the first manufacturer to introduce such motor technology here in Australia. According to them, the ISXe5\u00a0utilises the\u00a0Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) for emission reduction, therefore,\u00a0enhancing their renowned\u00a0T409\u2019s performance and carrying capacity (over 90 tonnes GCM), and making it suitable enough\u00a0for general freight, road train, and mining applications.<\/p>\n Guaranteed driver comfort<\/em><\/p>\n The vehicle is equipped\u00a0with a number of features that enhance comfort and minimizes fatigue. One of them is the ergonomically designed wrap-around dash that brings a great view of the gauges, important controls, and switches. The huge, single curved windscreen also adds to the utmost driver comfort. It gives\u00a0a superior all-around visibility and a good view of the road ahead. Another feature is the \u201cSmart Wheel\u201d, which gives operators easy access to the engine brake and cruise functions.<\/p>\n When it comes to safety, the\u00a0T409 doesn’t disappoint as well. Kenworth armed it with the\u00a0Electronic Brake Safety Systems (EBSS) technology that utilises the\u00a0Automatic Traction Control (ATC) and Antilock Braking (ABS) to enhance both productivity and accident avoidance.\u00a0All these offer truckers\u00a0that extra peace of mind when hauling and delivering loads to far destinations.<\/p>\n Spacious cab with great interior<\/em><\/p>\n Perhaps the best thing about the T409 is that it can be fitted with any of Kenworth\u2019s sleeper boxes. Depending on the needs of your\u00a0cargo or transport biz, you can choose to have the\u00a0flat roof 28-inch sleeper, the\u00a050-inch\u00a0sleeper that comes with a full head room design, or the Aerodyne 36-inch sleeper, which is proven to be perfect\u00a0in\u00a026m B-Double applications.<\/p>\n Now,\u00a0the inside of the cab is just captivating since it is properly decorated with essential items; it boasts of\u00a0privacy curtains, luxurious seats with nice leather covers, and a convenient storage for your essential stuff.<\/p>\n Versatile and flexible<\/em><\/p>\n Similar to its predecessors, the 2016 version of the T409 is designed and engineered for maximum-length on and off-the-road operations.
