Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T700 Floor Trim
What years and models of Kenworth T700 are compatible with these floor trim pieces?
Our floor trim pieces are designed to fit Kenworth T700 models from 2008 to 2019. The trim is compatible with both day cab and sleeper configurations. However, some minor variations exist between early models (2008-2010) and later models (2011-2019), particularly in the mounting hole patterns. We recommend verifying your specific VIN with our customer service team if you have a 2010 or 2011 model year truck to ensure proper fitment.
Are these floor trim pieces made from stainless steel or chrome-plated plastic?
We carry both options depending on your preference and budget. Our premium line features genuine 304-grade stainless steel trim with a mirror polish finish that resists corrosion and maintains its shine with minimal maintenance. We also offer high-quality ABS plastic trim with triple-chrome plating for those seeking a more budget-friendly option. The stainless steel trim typically weighs 2-3 pounds more per piece but offers superior durability and longevity.
How difficult is the installation process, and what tools are required?
Installation typically takes 45-90 minutes and requires basic hand tools including a Phillips screwdriver, trim removal tools, and a 7mm socket wrench. The original floor trim is held in place by plastic clips and screws. The most challenging part is removing the old trim without breaking the mounting clips. We include detailed installation instructions with each order, and many customers successfully complete the installation themselves. Professional installation usually costs between $75-150 at most truck service centers.
Will aftermarket floor mats interfere with the trim installation?
Standard thickness rubber floor mats (up to 3/8 inch) will not interfere with proper trim installation. However, heavy-duty all-weather mats exceeding 1/2 inch thickness may require trimming around the edges where they meet the floor trim. WeatherTech and Husky Liner mats for the T700 are specifically designed to work with factory floor trim dimensions and should fit without modification. Custom luxury carpet sets may need minor adjustments at the installer's discretion.
What is the difference between OEM and aftermarket floor trim quality?
OEM Kenworth floor trim uses specific mounting points and thickness specifications that ensure perfect fitment. Our aftermarket options match these specifications while often providing enhanced durability. The main differences are in the finish options - aftermarket trim typically offers more choices including brushed stainless, polished stainless, and black powder-coated options not available from the factory. Our aftermarket stainless steel trim carries a 5-year warranty against defects, while chrome-plated options include a 2-year warranty.
