Description
Powered by a Cummins N14 Celect Plus Red Top 500 HP backed by a 13-Speed Rockwell Double Overdrive transmission, this truck was one of the favorites in our fleet. In fact, drivers routinely chose this T600 over our Peterbilt 379s for long-haul runs because of its exceptional ride quality, handling, fuel mileage, and overall comfort.
This truck spent years running a dedicated Texas and New Mexico route every other week. Drivers described it as having “long legs”, effortlessly pulling heavy loads through hills, rough terrain, and long highway stretches while remaining comfortable and efficient.

Condition
This is an honest, well-maintained truck that has benefited from substantial mechanical investment. The truck is solid and road-worthy, with much of the major drivetrain and engine work already completed.
The only area that could use attention is the paint. Mechanically, it is a strong-running truck that’s ready to go to work.
A hard-to-find combination of a Kenworth T600, N14 Red Top 500, 13-Speed Double Overdrive, cold A/C, short wheelbase, and extensive documented maintenance. These old-school highway trucks aren’t getting any easier to find, especially ones that have been maintained instead of run into the ground.
Ready to work. Ready to haul. Ready to earn.
