Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T700 Sleeper Side Accessories
What years and models of Kenworth T700 do these sleeper side accessories fit?
Our sleeper side accessories are designed to fit Kenworth T700 models from 2010 to 2019. These parts are specifically engineered for trucks with the aerodynamic sleeper cab configuration. If your T700 has a day cab or was manufactured before 2010, please contact our customer service team at 417-775-7650 to verify compatibility before ordering.
Are these accessories made from stainless steel or chrome-plated steel, and how durable are they?
Most of our Kenworth T700 sleeper side accessories are available in both 304-grade stainless steel and triple chrome-plated steel options. Stainless steel pieces offer superior corrosion resistance and typically last 10-15 years with minimal maintenance. Chrome-plated options provide a mirror finish but require more frequent polishing and may show pitting after 5-7 years in harsh weather conditions. Each product listing specifies the material type.
Do I need to drill holes or modify my truck to install these accessories?
The majority of our sleeper side accessories are designed as no-drill installations using existing factory mounting points or heavy-duty 3M automotive tape. Some larger pieces like full sleeper panels may require drilling 2-4 pilot holes. Each product includes detailed installation instructions, and we estimate most accessories take 30-60 minutes to install with basic hand tools. Professional installation typically runs $50-150 depending on the complexity.
What styles and finishes are available for T700 sleeper side accessories?
We offer sleeper side accessories in several styles including smooth mirror finish, quilted pattern, and diamond plate designs. Finish options include polished stainless steel, mirror chrome, and brushed stainless. Some accessories also come in painted finishes that match OEM Kenworth colors. The most popular combinations are mirror-polished stainless for a classic look or quilted pattern for added visual interest.
Will aftermarket sleeper accessories affect my truck's aerodynamics or fuel economy?
Properly designed sleeper side accessories have minimal impact on aerodynamics when correctly installed. Most pieces add less than 0.5 inches of profile and follow the truck's existing contours. Based on customer feedback, drivers typically report no noticeable change in fuel economy. Some accessories like sleeper skirts may actually improve aerodynamics slightly by smoothing airflow along the sides of the sleeper.
