What sort of truck is this?

[GOATever]

This just rolled past a pub I’m sat outside.

I guess it’s ‘Merican, and very nicely sorted. What is it?

[rallycross]

it would take a very special kind of person to want to drive around in something like that.

[Venisonpie]

Kenworth.

[Scrump]

Kenworth. The badge is visible in your first picture

[Turbojuice]

A big one.

Semi as the Yanks call it. Kenworth is the make. No idea on the model. Not my thing and that paint is pure cringe.

It's a conventional (ie: not cabover) truck. Tractor for the tractor-trailer.

Manufactured by Kenworth. But it's not the newest series. Just Google Kenworth trucks.

Travel anywhere in the US west of the Mississippi River and these are ubiquitous. This one has a large "sleeper" behind the cab; it's a truck designed to travel for days at a time.

Are you at the Dancing Man Brewery perchance?

Ah, thanks. I’m pretty sure I’ve not seen many of those over here.

...normal people drive a Peterbuilt

[Monkeylegend]

That's not a truck, it's a flat on wheels.

Love it.

TBF I think it was a bit extreme for British roads .

[Its Just Adz]

Love it, wouldn't mind a drive in it.

Bought 2 mid roof versions in 2013 , intended to run the for 5 yrs/million kms . The build quality was dreadful almost to agricultural levels and after repeated and continuous DEF(Adblue) issues they were sold within 3 yrs . Now using long nose Volvos which have always been a favorite of mine but let down by the woeful dealership support . Happy days

That will be 'Big Rigs' Kenworth W900, its used for weddings, proms etc, nice bit of kit, I know where it lives (just up the road from where I live) so see it quite often.... and hear it.

I wonder what it tares in at?
Useless as a working vehicle here: look how long the chassis is - you couldnt tow a worthwhile trailer.
