Kenworth is offering Extended Protection Plans for the new 2013  PACCAR MX-13 engine, which is available for Kenworth Class 8 models, including  the Kenworth T660, T680, T700, T800 and W900.

The 12.9-liter PACCAR MX-13 engine is designed to meet the demands  of heavy duty truck applications and to deliver industry-leading performance,  reliability and fuel efficiency.

The PACCAR MX-13 engine has a standard base warranty of 2 years or  250,000 miles, whichever comes first. To meet the needs of customers, Kenworth  offers a wide range of protection plan options encompassing three engine  coverage categories (Comprehensive, Modified, and Major Component) in addition  to Extended Engine Aftertreatment options. Overall, available extended warranty  coverage options range from 3 to 7 years and from 100,000 to 700,000 miles.

“The PACCAR MX-13 Extended Protection Plans helps provide  excellent value and peace of mind with different options to best fit customer  needs,” said Judy McTigue, Kenworth director of marketing and research  planning. 

Truck purchasers have three opportunities to add extended warranty  engine coverage: When ordering a new Kenworth truck with the PACCAR MX-13  engine, when registering it for warranty, and up to 18 months after the  Kenworth truck is warranty-registered (mileage and engine hour limitations  apply). No registration fee is required for extended engine protection added to  any new Kenworth vehicle up to 12 months after purchase.  A $400  registration fee is required for each extended warranty order placed from 13  months through 18 months after truck purchase.

The PACCAR MX-13 utilizes the latest common rail fuel-delivery  technology, which enables injection pressures of up to 2,500 bar, significantly  enhancing fuel efficiency and performance. The common rail fuel system uses  controls to regulate the fuel in a central manifold, only compressing the  amount of fuel mixture needed. The result is finer fuel atomization to  optimized combustion, ensuring the lowest possible fuel consumption, emission  and noise levels.

The new PACCAR MX-13 engine offers a wide range of horsepower and  torque ratings to meet customer power requirements. Kenworth customers can now  specify the PACCAR MX-13 on new Kenworth truck orders placed through Kenworth  dealers in the United States and Canada for delivery in 2013.
