Kenworth C580 Review: What They Nailed… And What They Got Completely Wrong

Kenworth has officially brought back the C500 platform with the new Kenworth C580, and Chace was pretty excited to see it in person. The C500 was the truck that dominated heavy haul for decades, so in this video we take a walk around the new C580 and look at what Kenworth changed and what they kept. This truck is built for serious work. We go through the features that matter for heavy haul and off road jobs, including the 1700 square inch radiator, front frame rails for winch tractors and towing, steel fenders, butterfly hood, external Donaldson air breathers, and the increased ride height that makes working and cooling easier when you are pulling big loads at low speed. Chace also gives his honest opinion on some of the design choices, from the cab layout to the suspension and driver controls. The C580 carries on the legacy of the Kenworth C500, a truck that many drivers grew up with in logging, winch tractor work, and oversize hauling.
