Kenworth T700 Interior Acc.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T700 Interior Accessories

Will these interior accessories fit my specific year model T700?

Most interior accessories for the Kenworth T700 are designed to fit models from 2011 to 2019, as the cab design remained consistent during these years. However, some specific items like gauge bezels, switch panels, and air vents may have slight variations between early (2011-2014) and later (2015-2019) models. Always check the product description for exact year compatibility, or contact our support team with your OEM for verification.

What tools do I need to install dashboard trim and interior panels?

Basic installation typically requires a Phillips and flathead screwdriver set, plastic trim removal tools to prevent scratching, and a 7mm or 8mm socket for certain mounting brackets. Door panel installations may also need a drill with appropriate bits for new accessories. Most installations take 30-60 minutes per component. Professional installation is recommended for electrical items like LED lighting upgrades or switch panel modifications.

Are the floor mats and seat covers made from heavy-duty materials that can handle daily commercial use?

Our T700 floor mats are constructed from either heavy-duty rubber compounds rated for -40 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit or commercial-grade carpet with waterproof backing. Seat covers feature either genuine leather, vinyl, or heavy-duty fabric with reinforced stitching at stress points. All materials are specifically chosen to withstand the wear from daily entry/exit, resist staining from common truck stop spills, and maintain their appearance after repeated cleaning.

Do chrome interior accessories require special maintenance to prevent tarnishing?

Chrome dash kits and interior trim pieces feature triple-chrome plating over ABS plastic, which resists tarnishing better than standard chrome. Clean monthly with mild soap and water, avoiding ammonia-based cleaners which can cause clouding. For stubborn fingerprints or water spots, use a dedicated chrome polish. The chrome finish typically maintains its shine for 5-7 years with proper care, even in high-humidity environments.

Can I install LED interior lighting without voiding my warranty or causing electrical issues?

LED upgrade kits designed specifically for the T700 include plug-and-play connectors that work with existing wiring harnesses, preventing warranty concerns. These draw less amperage than stock bulbs, reducing strain on the electrical system. Always verify the LED voltage matches your truck's system (typically 12V), and ensure any dome light upgrades include the proper resistors to prevent hyperflashing or error codes on the dash.
