The Legend SAR was modelled on the iconic W900SAR, built, and sold in Australia from 1975 until 1987 and the first Kenworth model designed, engineered, and built in Australia specifically for Australian operating requirements.

With its sloping bonnet and raised cab position allowing for the first use of under cab battery and toolboxes, the W900SAR was an iconic fusion of the W900AR and S2 models.

Importantly, it could take the high horsepower engines favoured by Australian transport operators and still carry the maximum legal payload within existing length limits and was lighter than the AR and Kenworth’s cabover model of the day, the K100.

Built to honour the character of the first all-Australian Kenworth truck, the Legend SAR represents the iconic appeal of the much-loved W900SAR.
