The main difference between the Kenworth T270 and T370 is their Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and intended applications.
The T270 is a Class 6 truck with a GVWR of up to 26,000 pounds, making it ideal for lighter-duty tasks like delivery, towing, or municipal services. It doesn’t require a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) for operation in most configurations.
The T370, on the other hand, is a Class 7 truck with a GVWR of up to 66,000 pounds when configured for heavier-duty applications. It’s designed for more demanding tasks like construction, heavier hauling, or vocational use, and it does require a CDL.
Both trucks share similar engines (PACCAR PX-7 or PX-9), transmissions, and cab designs, but the T370 offers more robust axle and suspension options to handle higher payloads and tougher jobs. Choosing between the two depends on your weight requirements and the type of work you need the truck for.
