    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!
  • The Kenworth trucks built in Australia for the mining industry are awesome.

    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.

    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.

    Needs a power buff in Snowrunner but still a pretty good truck.
  • @San-uu7qc
    I just love the old Army trucks from Kenworth.. still going on strong
  • @aooooo97
    I love strong and beautiful trucks and I am proud to drive them and I can thank the designers and manufacturers of these huge monsters on the roads

    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 .
  • 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 😮😮
  • 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!
  • The 963 is kinda why I want to a desert map for Snowrunner. I wanna use the Big Kenny in it's natural environment. Maybe give an option to equip some low pressure tires for the sand but gives you damage on paved roads? Anyways, such a cool truck. Glad I can experience this and many other amazing vehicles in Snowrunner!

    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.
  • @EdD-ym6le
    Cool . Good job thinking up this little known topic / truck .
