When are you getting one???

This 2025 Kenworth T480 (Stock SM181300 / VIN 2NK5LJ9X5SM181300) is a purpose-built refuse spec ready to dominate city routes. Sitting on a 273” wheelbase with a double-frame 10-5/8” x 5/16” steel rail setup and full inner liner, this chassis is built for durability under constant stop-and-go punishment. Rated at 56,000-lb GVWR (16K front / 40K rear), it’s engineered for serious daily work.

Power comes from the PACCAR PX-9 (2024 EPA) putting down 350 HP and 1,050 lb-ft of torque, paired with an Allison 3000RDS Gen 6 6-speed automatic with PTO provision, push-button controls, and Neutral-at-Stop functionality. A 5.63 rear ratio delivers strong launch power for fully loaded starts, while the 1,000 sq-in clog-resistant cooling module and turbo exhaust brake keep it controlled and reliable.

Up front is a 16,000-lb Meritor MFS20 axle with taperleaf suspension and shocks. Out back, 40,000-lb Meritor RT40-160 tandems ride on Hendrickson RT463 suspension with driver-controlled full locking differentials on both axles. Bendix S-cam drum brakes with auto slack adjusters and Bendix 4S/4M ABS handle stopping duties, supported by dual power steering gears for tight urban maneuvering.

Mounted on the chassis is a Heil DuraPack 5000 rear loader body — one of the most proven refuse bodies in the industry. Designed for high-compaction residential routes, it delivers fast cycle times, durability, and simplified maintenance to keep fleets moving.

Rolling on Goodyear 315/80R22.5 tires with polished Alcoa aluminum front wheels and steel rears, this truck blends strength and practicality. Inside the raised-roof aluminum cab, drivers get air suspension, a 7” digital display with SmartWheel controls, DEA710 Bluetooth audio, TruckTech+ diagnostics, and a 60-gallon aluminum fuel tank.

Built for tight streets, heavy loads, and nonstop cycles — this T480 with Heil muscle is ready to work.
