Kenworth Introduces Limited-Edition TourAmerica Paint Scheme, Donates T680 to Freedom 250 Museum Tour

Kenworth today announced the launch of a special edition paint scheme created in celebration of the Freedom 250 initiative, a nationwide effort honoring the Nation’s 250th birthday and highlighting the spirit of American trucking. The new design pays tribute to the iconic mid 1990s TourAmerica T600 paint scheme, reimagined and refined for modern production while preserving its recognizable heritage.

The commemorative paint scheme is now available to order on the Kenworth T680, W900L, W990, and T880 models equipped with sleepers. Developed in collaboration with Kenworth’s design and engineering teams, the refreshed look blends classic styling with contemporary finishes, offering customers a unique way to celebrate trucking history while supporting a meaningful national milestone.

“This paint scheme is a nod to an important era in Kenworth’s legacy,” said Kevin Haygood, Kenworth’s assistant general manager for sales and marketing. “The original TourAmerica T600 represented innovation and pride for drivers across the country. Bringing that design forward for today’s models allows us to honor that history as we celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday.”

As part of its commitment to the Freedom 250 Tour, Kenworth donated a T680 with 76” integral sleeper to support the event’s fleet of Mobile Museums, known as “Freedom Trucks,” which will travel throughout the United States in 2026. These historical trailers deliver interactive and inspiring educational content to students, families, and communities nationwide. Kenworth’s donation underscores the company’s long standing dedication to the trucking community, veterans, and organizations that strengthen and support drivers across the country.
