Kenworth C580 Features
Extreme Powertrain Performance
Powering this beast is the EPA-compliant Cummins X15 engine, delivering up to 605 horsepower and 2,050 lb.-ft. of torque to move mountains. For the first time in the extreme-duty segment, the C580 is available with the advanced Eaton Endurant XD Pro automated transmission, alongside proven manual and Allison 4000/6000 Series automatic options. Versatility is standard, with axle configurations ranging from 4×4 to 10×10, twin-steer ratings up to 44,000 pounds, and tandem rear axles capable of supporting up to 165,000 pounds. No matter the load, the C580 has the backbone to get it there.
Unmatched Durability & Cooling
When the work gets heavy, the C580 stays cool. At the heart of its design is a massive 1,780-square-inch cooling module, engineered to handle high-horsepower operation in stationary, low-speed, and high-altitude environments. The exterior is just as tough, featuring a new sheet metal hood and fenders that can withstand severe impacts, along with dual external 13-inch stainless steel air cleaners that deliver easy serviceability and classic Kenworth styling. The chassis is built on full-length parent frame rails that extend to the front, supporting FEPTO applications and ensuring a solid foundation for specialized bodywork.
