Description

Kenworth T270 — Diesel-Powered Class 6 Medium-Duty Conventional Truck

The Kenworth T270 is a purpose-built, diesel-powered medium-duty conventional truck designed to bring dependable performance, efficiency, and versatility to a wide range of commercial applications. Built on Kenworth’s proven medium-duty conventional chassis, the T270 combines durable PACCAR power with contemporary aerodynamic styling, excellent visibility, and driver-centric comfort — making it ideal for urban pickup and delivery, beverage distribution, municipal and utility services, towing and recovery, logistics, and other medium-duty vocational needs.

Powered by the fully integrated 6.7-liter PACCAR PX-7 engine with ratings up to 325 hp and 750 lb-ft of torque, the Kenworth T270 delivers strong torque and responsive acceleration suited for frequent stop-and-go operations while keeping operating costs low and uptime high. An available 8.9-liter PACCAR PX-9 raises output to as much as 350 hp and up to 1,000 lb-ft of torque, with flexible manual and Allison automatic transmission choices and air or hydraulic brakes to maximize productivity for busy fleet.

The conventional cab-and-hood design enhances driver comfort and simplifies service in tight city streets and crowded job sites, while ergonomic controls and a premium driver environment support long work days. The hood tilts a full 90 degrees for wide-open access to the engine, and grouped single-point daily checks speed up inspections, while available aerodynamic roof fairings help improve fuel economy and reduce running costs.

With dependable diesel performance, a rugged chassis engineered to outlast the body you mount on it, and flexible spec’ing options, the Kenworth T270 is ideal for fleets and businesses seeking capable, versatile, and cost-effective medium-duty truck solutions.
