And that's SnowRunner living legend right there!
The old trucks were the goat. It's such a shame that PACCAR bought them and Peterbilt. Now those 2 companies put out interchangeable modular junk that falls apart as soon as it leaves the factory. The old stuff is where the legends were made. A modern Kenworth will stop running every 6 months because the coolant level measuring thing gets stuck. Not kidding, call any Kenworth or Peterbilt shop and ask how often do they replace coolant tanks. (one unit) It's heartbreaking how they have fallen.
New Peter rods are junk. What I've heard from couple local dump truck drivers. 😮 I was surprised 1st time I Hurd crap talked about Peterbuilt trucks.
I personally would love to find narrow nose Pete or auto-car do roll back for toy hauler 😊
5 in one month 3 on the same truck 2012 t660
@@Fossillarson They come standard with PACCAR motors now. You have to pay extra and special order a different motor. Most fleets just run the PACCAR trash. I have seen a couple with Cummins in them, and not many complaints.
Pacific Car and Foundry bought Kenworth in 1945 and bought Peterbilt in 1958. So these are not recent purchases.
The name was changed to PACCAR later on
@@BrotherWitchmy 17' w9 has a Cummins that stupid coolant sensor tank has been replaced probably 10 times since new. Finally we wired ina couple resistors and bypassed it not needed open the fuckin hood and look at the coolant level
Kenworth 963 is one of the best trucks in Snowrunner Off-Road Simulator game! I just love it and the engine it has just sounds awesome!
But it's nerfed because with cargo it can't climb hills.
@@nunosantos00 hey now i got it to climb main road hills in low gear in highest engine setting
The Kenworth trucks built in Australia for the mining industry are awesome.
I worked on both the red 963s shown at 5:00 in the video. They where assembled in the Renton factory, loaded onto lowboys by Pete's Towing and shipped to Kenworth Northwest for some additional modifications. We had to take the stacks off to fit them in the shop.
I would consider that a privilege. But it's probably just part of the job for yourself. How many 963's does Kenworth make a year? One or two?
I worked for a dealership from 2005-2010. In that time we only had two come through. @@meandthemrs7403
This is a Kenworth beast!!!! I am in love ❤
I just love the old Army trucks from Kenworth.. still going on strong
The King of the Desert!
What a beast of a truck.
being from sweden and seeing scanias and volvos daily its great to see american trucks
We are using these monsters in Sahara desert Libya, without any doubt these machines are indestructible 😮😮
Magnificent engineering‼️👊🔥🥂
🪖
Absolutely! It's always thrilling to see such excitement about great engineering.
Needs a power buff in Snowrunner but still a pretty good truck.
It has the 3rd most powerful engine in Snowrunner, but it still gets bogged down super easily.
Might as well just use the 612H.
Is there any reason this truck has no tweaks in mod browser?
I really need to get that game
My favourite SnowRunner truck. What a beast!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! The truck really is a beast in SnowRunner.
Back in the 80s I hauled a few of those with the V radiator placement and the V 12 two stroke Detroit’s. I was Leased to PST heavy haul we used the trailers from the combine fleet with the spread axels and wide expandable well between them I still have some photos of me sitting on the fender behind the grill guard we had another owner OP to pick them up at the plant they would only left KW trucks in there T that time I had. New Volvo white flat top sleeper tri axel rear tractor he brought them to the yard then we took them to the destinations .
I used to work in Saudi Arabia for the Olayan Transportation Group's SGTC division building the King Khaled International Airport in Riyadh as a sub for Bechtel. Occasionally, when we had to transport larger pieces from the Port of Dammam to the airport, we'd have our oilfield division in Hofuf haul for us and they had KW oil-rig haulers (I can't remember the model, maybe 959s, but they were 4 wheel units with massive engines and tires) and they actually would ignore the main highway from DAM to RUH and run alongside on the old desert roads VERY SLOWLY!
Back then we had over-the-road units (KW900s I think) that could haul like you wouldn't believe. Huge engines!
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's always interesting to hear about the behind-the-scenes of big construction projects!
I grew up in Saudi (father worked for ARAMCO) and remember these beasts towing oil rigs down the road - taking the whole road and then some. The only time they looked small was in the Rub Al-Khali amongst the mountainous sand dunes. Great memories.
The thing that i always notice with these giant trucks is how the cabin always looks like an afterthought. Probably because I'm so used to all the vehicles I see being built around the driver and passengers.
I want a 953!!!
I saw this truck in kuwait KOC refinery
Commenting on the video for the algorithm
Cool . Good job thinking up this little known topic / truck .
Excellent video! Other alternatives to the Kenworth 963 for desert applications could include CTP, MOL, Paul, Titan and Tor.
CTP TAZ4922
MOL HF 8066
Paul Heavy Mover HM 80
Titan Z 80 / Z 60
Tor Trojan 996
Berliet T100 too. But they only built 4
@@rallymana4873 I was trying to list the trucks that may be considered as current competitors for the Kenworth 963. These trucks are either still in production of have been built over the last few years. If you know of any more, let me know. The Berliet T100 was a beast in its day, as was the MOL/BREC TB800 Desert Lion.
Very good video!

Hate to be that guy, but at 4:22 it's a 953 Canadian. Which was designed for the developing oilfields of Canada and Alaska. Pretty cool pieces of a fleet.
Very informative 👍👍🇺🇲
Take a look at the Berliet 100, it will amaze you!!! 👍
mad max truck
I want the bright red 963
KENWORTH truly the World's Best.💪💪💪👍👍👍
It is not always an overdrive on the thumb button…in most 13 and 18 speeds today, that is the case. They are under driven and when you move the button forward (upshift) you are shifting into direct.
👍👍👍👍
I like the KW's but if I wanted a BEAR it'd have to be a Hayes or Pacific. A150 ton load is a lot wherever it is.
💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍👍🚛🚛🚛🚛🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Interesting that a cabover truck from Belarus is shown but no mention of the cabover K953 that was built for use in China about 1995. I should know, I helped design and build it.
I think zip ties needs one of these K Whoppers
drove it in Saudi Arabia deserts for more than 30 years
I have one of these. It's so fun to drive.
No
In Snowrunner die letzte Gurke
318 hp, must have been the 8V-71 Detroit
I think the 92t's were like 425 so probably right
A modern powerplant would make these trucks very relevant again . Maybe a bit more power :D & watch it destroy a truckpull event
The conquisrador which conquests the desert'ruck by Ken another person worth
Kenworth and Mack were the toughest trucks. Everything now days is junk.
For a country that hates middle easterners (especially back in the 50s) and thinks that they're the all time greatest (really not) having a different country develop and standardise what we basically use in todays everyday basic utilities 😂
O what a shame how WE the MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN !!!!!! It used to be U.S.A.1 every were whens the last time youve seen that ?
Wasting so much loading space with those longnosed cabins. I can't understand why any driver would want those.
😂 why need more cabin space when you can have more displacement 😂
You should sit in a t800. It's very narrow too. You can touch both doors at the same time 😂
You think this guy has ever been within 20 yards of a truck?
This has to be written by AI. “The decision to equip dual radiators was also based on the fact that the truck was required to operate on low-pressure tires”. That makes zero sense
Low speeds and high drag?
@@whiskeyinthejar24 Ding ding ding we have a winner. Low pressure tires = high friction = low speed = low airflow = more cooling required
How many people are sick of this voice
Western Star video ?
Robot voice = automatic skip and downvote👎
NON C'EST LE T 100 BERLIET FRANCAIS 700 cv en 1956 1957 4 exemplaires construit plus un cabine avancé vendu aux états unis !!!! Kenworth==== tas de ferraille 300 cv brevet BERLIET !
Wtf is nm of touqe meters km and kg use logical measures that actually makes sense
Logical measures? Nobody uses the imperial system 🤡
To bad you amerikans dont use it. Your tiny brains would have it mutch easier to work with those measurements. Btw your trucks are still 20 years behind any european truck🥱
Come work in the oilfield bud! You’ll get instructions or directions in feet, metres, inches, centimetres, miles, kilometres, NSEW, all in the same directions!!!!
@@bigdog8815
But that Dont makes no sense
@@bobbyknight3589 oh we know! Just last week I got directions to a new lease, north for 12km, right for 3 miles, east for 700’, south into Location, and load 12’x12m office shack
You cant compare this US crap to a good german Unimog
They’re nice for sure, but we can’t get serviceability in North America! Schlumberger tried getting a couple MANN trucks, KW mechanics messed them up so bad that they had to fly in mechanics from Germany to come fix them!
Unimog is a different dog altogether, it's about horses for courses mog won't pull three forty foot trailers at any sort of speed for very long, mog is more like a shunting train than a main engine, must admit I've only had four of them
@@johngibson3837 tbh ... idc
It will never survive the harsh environment of the desert
😆 yeh haven't seen to many unimogs pulling 4 trailers with a gvm of 250 tonnes in the Oz deserts.
