Kenworth Truck Company is now offering its Extended Day Cab and AeroCab sleepers, including Kenworth's unique 38" AeroCab, as new options for its T800 wide hood model.

"Many oilfield, heavy haul, construction and other vocational customers operate the Kenworth T800 in wide hood configurations because of the model's excellent durability, maneuverability and versatility," said Mike Dozier, Kenworth chief engineer. "By adding options for Kenworth's popular Extended Day Cab and AeroCab sleepers, including the 38" AeroCab sleeper with new standard toolbox doors, customers will be able to take full advantage of the Kenworth T800's versatility while promoting driver comfort and retention."

The Kenworth Extended Day Cab runs six inches longer than standard models with the cab roof raised five inches. It provides two inches of increased leg room and room behind the wheel, 21 degrees of recline in the driver's seat, and two cubic feet worth of extra storage behind the driver's seat. In addition to the T800, the Extended Day Cab is available on Kenworth's T600 and W900 models.

Ideal for vocational operations, the 38" AeroCab sleeper features ample headroom, standard liftable bunk, over- and under-bunk storage, 24" by 78" tilt up mattress, full headliner, lockable luggage compartments, swivel reading light, and separate sleeper control console. Kenworth has enhanced its 38" AeroCab sleeper by recently adding two 12" wide by 20" tall toolbox doors to provide outside access to storage space under the bunk. Kenworth's full AeroCab offering includes the 86" Studio AeroCab, 72" AeroCab Aerodyne, 72" AeroCab FlatTop, and 62" AeroCab FlatTop.
