KENWORTH T270 Engine

![Kenworth T270 Engine]()
Introducing the all-new Kenworth K270 class 6 and K370 class 7, two of the most reliable, efficient and productive medium duty trucks ever to hit the boulevards and back alleys of urban North America. Add up the advantages — payload, productivity, reliability and uptime. Then consider one more thing: resale value. History proves that a used Kenworth is a better value to someone else than just about any other medium duty truck you can name.
The 6.7-liter PACCAR PX-7 engine delivers superior performance, minimizes operational costs and maximizes uptime for medium-duty customers. Reduced maintenance, long service intervals and excellent fuel efficiency add up to a superior lifetime value..
The 8.9-liter PACCAR PX-9 engine has one of the highest power-to-weight ratios in its class, with heavy-duty features like replaceable wet liners, roller cam followers, bypass oil filtration and targeted piston-cooling.
