THE GENUINE
With a striking range of accessories specifically manufactured for the Australian-made Kenworth K220, operators can take their rigs to the next level with PACCAR Parts.
The K220 is the most evolved, refined, and technologically advanced Kenworth truck yet. It’s also one of the most customisable units, thanks to a range of specifically developed Kenworth Genuine accessories. In addition to the well-established and popular range of high-quality Kenworth Genuine accessories such as lighting, mudflaps, hub caps, wheels, and more, the K220’s new range of stainless-steel accessories is where operators can really take their rigs to the next level. PACCAR Parts Australia Aftermarket Engineering Product Manager, Brenton Campbell, describes the range of accessories as being about as Kenworth as you can get. “These accessories have been designed jointly in collaboration with PACCAR Parts, Kenworth Engineering and our local Original Equipment (OE) suppliers, so they’re designed by Kenworth, for Kenworth, and made by the same suppliers who produce the rest of the parts for the trucks,” he says. Included in the range is a stainless-steel cab-step trim set with five light inserts, wide stainless steel fuel tank straps for both round and rectangular tank styles and a stainless steel AdBlue tank cover. The K220 grille bar kit, with its distinctive eight-bar design, gives the new Kenworth even more road presence and can be further enhanced with a polished stainless steel number plate surround, including the Kenworth logo in both standard and slimline sizes. “Sunvisors are exceedingly popular, with a huge percentage of trucks being fitted with this option, so it’s great that we now have a top-notch offering for this new model,” says Brenton. “The sunvisor is a direct replacement for the factory first fit item and utilises the original OE mounting points, so there’s no drilling of the roof required. It’s just a simple matter of taking the old visor off, putting new mounting brackets and a new visor on, and away you go.”
Items like the sunvisor, cab-step trim set, grille bars and AdBlue tank covers are all very popular out in the market, according to Brenton.
“These are OE-designed and OE quality aftermarket parts that are unique to Kenworth,” he says.
Another new item that Brenton believes will be a popular K220 accessory choice is the wide-look stainless steel fuel tank strap for round and rectangular tanks, which are 75mm wide compared to the standard 48mm straps.
“Lots of people get modifications made to their straps for this wider look, and we now have fully functional wide straps that are direct replacements for the OE parts – and they look tough,” he says.
In addition to the extensive range of exterior accessories, the K220 also comes with Kenworth Genuine comfort and care accessories designed to make every journey more enjoyable. These include the Kenworth Genuine dash mat with logo, wind deflector kits for both doors, cool and comfortable sheepskin seat covers with logo in a range of colours, a cotton mattress protector with logo to keep your bunk spic and span, and a large Kenworthbranded first aid kit.
The Kenworth Genuine Accessories range is available through PACCAR Parts dealers Australia-wide and have been designed to be easily fitted by the dealership as part of the pre-delivery process, or when the truck comes in for service.
The Kenworth K220 Genuine accessories range is available at any of the 57 PACCAR Part dealer locations nation-wide.
