A company in Houston called Southwest Truck Rigging & Equipment had Kenworth K500 on display.
They don't allow pictures and I respect that rule else I'd post some.
Some specs...
Cat C15 engine (Option for a Cummins as well)
14:1 rear end gearing
Allison 4000 series transmission
Bridgestone tires that were over 4' tall
Capability to tow 1,000,000 pounds
Bottom of doors were at the top of my head (I'm 6'2")
Bottom of the windshield was around 10' tall
It was spec'd out to be able to tow 200t up 15% grade in Africa pulling rigs around.
Really impressive!
Wish I could have taken pictures.
