Kenworth debuts heritage TourAmerica paint scheme, supports Freedom 250 tour with T680 donation

Kenworth is rolling out a limited-edition paint scheme paying tribute to its mid-1990s TourAmerica T600 in celebration of the Freedom 250 initiative, a nationwide effort honoring the Nation’s 250th birthday and highlighting the spirit of American trucking.

The updated design, available on select Kenworth models with sleepers, reworks the original TourAmerica look with modern finishes. It will be offered on the T680, W900L, W990, and T880, giving fleets a way to spec a heritage-style truck while still running current equipment.

“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.”

In addition to the launch, Kenworth donated a T680 with a 76" sleeper to the event’s fleet of Mobile Museums, known as “Freedom Trucks,” which will bring interactive history displays to communities across the United States in 2026.
