      The true K-Whopper remains the extended-hood W900L and W900B, with their forward-set steer axles. They have gotten continuous updates inside and out over the years. New interiors, including premium Pendleton trim, were added for '07. The T800, another traditionally styled model, but with a setback steer axle, is optional with Big Power ratings of Cat's C15 as well as a number of sleepers, including the 86-inch Studio.
      Other HD Models: Engineers and designers have completely revamped the aero T600 and renamed it the T660. The aero T2000 continues with various updates. KW's vocational trucks include the W900S, which looks like a T800 but has a forward-set steer axle, and a T800 with a high, W900-like hood but a setback steer axle.
      EPA '07 Diesels: All models with the new diesels will be titled as 2008s. KW's heavy offerings include Cummins' ISL, ISM and ISX, and Cat's C9, C13 and C15. Medium-duty T300s will use a new series of Paccar-branded, Cummins-built 6.7- and 8.3-liter diesels; Cat's C7 is being dropped.
