From light bars to mudguards, wheel nuts to seat covers, and sunvisors to cab steps, Kenworth’s K220 Accessories Catalogue has it covered when it comes to making your rig stand out on the road.
The latest iteration of the renowned K Series cab over range, the K220 is already one of the most instantly recognisable trucks on the road and Kenworth’s latest range of accessories are designed to highlight its new sleek design lines.
Released in 2022, and hailed as Kenworth’s most evolved, refined and technologically advanced truck yet, the K220 is “largely targeted at East Coast B-Double applications but is suited for practically any application”, according to PACCAR Parts Australia Aftermarket Engineering Product Manager Brenton Campbell.
It’s also one of the most customisable trucks on the market thanks to the wide range of Kenworth Genuine Accessories developed specifically for the K220, a range that has expanded significantly in the 12-months or so that the truck has been on the market.
“With the growing number of K220s now on the road in different customer configurations, we felt the time was right to release a more comprehensive list of accessories for the truck,” Brenton says.

Included in the comprehensive 20-page catalogue are popular and essential K220 accessories like driving lights, radios, cameras and aerials, along with
interior accessories such as dash mats, seat covers and floor mats. The list of stand-out exterior accessories includes stainless steel sunvisors, exhaust stacks and side steps.
“Accessories fall into two main categories, the first being those for functional applications,” Brenton says.
“For instance, if the truck is going to be doing a lot of overnight work, the operator will want to make sure it has fantastic lights. In this sort of environment high-quality driving lights become much more important because they’re a key safety feature. Similarly, things like bull-bars and other protection accessories are often fitted with a view to the type of road conditions the truck will be operating in.
“The second category are for those people who take extra pride in their truck; they want it to look its best and really stand out. This group often fit high-quality stainless-steel accessories which can include highly functional components like sunvisors and mudguards, but also accessories like grille bars and exhaust stacks which are more about giving a truck its own distinctive look and feel.”
Brenton says grille bars, sunvisors and fuel tank straps are expected to be among the most popular stainless-steel accessories, while 9-inch round driving lights and lights bars are perennial electronic favourites, with a wide range of options available in both light configurations.
“We’ve got a much larger range of stainless-steel products including mudguards and sunvisors than we’ve had in previous years and these are always popular. Likewise, our expanded range of branded interior accessories like sheepskin seat covers and dash mats are great ways to personalise the K220 interior,” he says.
“From the factory the K220 is already a great looking truck, so this range is all about complementing the factory-fitted parts to really accentuate its features. As we say in our marketing tagline, these accessories allow operators to ‘transform their truck’.”
