What Kenworth T680 model years are these visors compatible with?
Most aftermarket visors for the Kenworth T680 are designed to fit model years 2013 through present. However, there are slight variations between pre-2017 and post-2017 models due to minor cab design changes. Always verify the specific year range listed for each visor, as some are universal while others are year-specific. If you have a 2017 or newer T680, double-check that the visor explicitly states compatibility with the updated cab design.
How difficult is the installation process, and what tools do I need?
Installation typically takes 1-2 hours and requires basic hand tools including a drill with metal bits, socket set, screwdrivers, and a measuring tape. Most visors use existing mounting points on the cab, but some may require drilling 4-6 new holes. The most challenging part is usually achieving proper alignment and ensuring a tight seal against the cab. Having a second person helps significantly with positioning. Professional installation runs $150-300 if you prefer not to DIY.
What's the difference between fiberglass and stainless steel visors?
Fiberglass visors are lighter (15-25 lbs), more affordable, and easier to paint-match to your cab color. They require periodic maintenance and may fade or develop stress cracks after 5-7 years of heavy use. Stainless steel visors are heavier (30-40 lbs), more expensive, but extremely durable with minimal maintenance beyond occasional polishing. Stainless options are ideal for owner-operators planning to keep their truck long-term, while fiberglass works well for fleet applications or drivers who update their look more frequently.
Will adding a visor affect my fuel economy or create wind noise?
A properly installed visor typically has minimal impact on fuel economy - most drivers report 0.1-0.2 MPG decrease at highway speeds. Wind noise is usually not an issue if the visor is correctly mounted flush against the cab with proper weather stripping. However, visors with integrated lights or irregular shapes may create slight whistling at speeds above 65 mph. Look for visors with aerodynamic designs and included weather seals to minimize these concerns.
Do these visors come with mounting hardware and lights?
Most quality visors include basic mounting brackets and hardware, but you may need to purchase additional cab-specific mounting kits ($50-100) depending on your exact T680 configuration. Regarding lights, it varies by model - some visors come pre-wired with LED marker lights, others have pre-drilled holes for lights but require separate purchase, and basic models have no light provisions. If you want illuminated visors, confirm whether lights and wiring harnesses are included or budget an extra $75-150 for a complete LED kit.
