Cabin fairings for Kenworth T680 Next Gen: sleeper, cab and extension panels
The Next Gen T680 was designed around airflow. Kenworth reshaped the cab, tightened the gap to the trailer and wrapped the sides in long, smooth panels so the truck slips through the wind with less drag. Every one of those panels is doing a job. Pull one off, or run around with a busted one held on by zip ties, and the truck burns more fuel at highway speed. Over a year of driving, that's real money leaving your pocket.
There's also the way the truck looks. A clean Kenworth t680 next gen cab fairing is a big part of what makes this model read as new and well cared for. Fleet managers notice. Shippers notice. Buyers definitely notice when you're trading up. Damaged side panels drag the whole appearance down in a hurry, and on a truck that costs what a Next Gen costs, that's a poor look for a part that's relatively cheap to replace.
What we stock is an aftermarket t680 next gen cab fairing lineup built to the same fitment as the factory panels, offered at a price that makes sense for a working truck. Nothing exotic - just proper-fitting replacement panels in the right shape, for the right side of the truck, without a dealer markup.
The collection is organized so you can grab exactly the piece you're missing and nothing more. Broadly, it breaks down like this:
- Full-size sleeper panels for the driver side and the passenger side, sold individually.
- Complete sets that pair the lower and upper panels for one side of the truck.
- Upper panels bundled with the matching extension piece.
- Extension pieces on their own, sold per side or as a pair.
- Brackets that mount behind the cab fairing, for those times the hardware got bent along with the panel.
Body shops are a big part of who orders from this page. When a T680 rolls in with the whole passenger side scraped down the length of the sleeper, the shop needs the panels, the extension and often the brackets in one shipment, not three. That's why we list sets and bundles right alongside the single pieces. Fleets running a dozen or more of these trucks tend to keep a spare upper panel on the shelf for the same reason; it's cheaper than a week of downtime waiting on a part.
Sides are called out clearly in each listing, and the fitment is 2022 and up. If you're chasing a 2022 Kenworth t680 sleeper fairing for a truck that got clipped on one side, you're not stuck buying both sides. Likewise, a driver who only lost the top section doesn't have to pay for the lower section too.
The upper and lower pieces do different things. The Kenworth t680 next gen upper cab fairing is the tall plastic panel that runs alongside the sleeper and manages the air flowing between the cab and the trailer. It's the one most likely to take a hit from a trailer during a tight turn. Below it, the Kenworth t680 next gen lower cab fairing covers the area around the tanks and steps, and it tends to catch curb strikes, tire debris and winter road grime. Both are available separately, and they're also available together as a set when you'd rather replace a whole side at once and be done with it.
Then there are the extensions. A Kenworth t680 next gen cab fairing extension is the narrow strip that bridges the gap between the upper panel and the trailer, and it's a part that gets torn off constantly - reversing under a trailer at an angle is usually all it takes. We keep those in stock in both sides, along with brackets, so the small stuff doesn't hold up the whole job.
One thing we'd ask before you check out: confirm the side. Driver and passenger panels are mirror images, not interchangeable, and it's the most common mix-up we see on returns. The product photos show the actual shape of each piece, so a quick comparison with the damaged panel on your truck usually settles it. Same goes for upper versus lower - the listings spell out which is which.
