![]() While Kenworth was technically right, fuel economy would become more and more important in years to come, I felt they should have changed the Kenworth W900A more slowly, to allow their customers to adapt, the way Peterbilt did with it’s move from the 359 Peterbilt to the 379, to the 389 model. Kenworth lost a portion of their important owner operator customer base as a result. Many ‘long hood fans’ switched from Kenworth to Peterbilts. So, in the early 90’s, Kenworth re-introduced the long hood with their 007 James Bond edition.īut, Kenworth had changed the shape and angle of the hood for improved fuel economy and forward visibility, but it didn’t look as good as the original Kenworth W900A. There was a huge outcry of protest from long hood large car fans. I don’t know why but Kenworth discontinued the long hood W900 in the early 1980’s, but production ceased and they were gone by 1983.
