Bumper covers and corners for the 2022+ Kenworth T680 Next Gen cab
Kenworth didn't just tweak the T680 for 2022, they reshaped the whole nose. The bumper became a multi-piece assembly with a center section, separate corners on each side, and a lower vent, all molded to work together for airflow. It looks great. It also means when a corner takes a hit in a truck stop lot, you can't grab a panel off the old body style and expect it to line up. The bolt pattern is different, the curve is different, and the fog light location moved.
That's why we keep Kenworth t680 bumper for the Next Gen cab in their own category, separate from the 2013 through 2021 parts. Order from this page and you're getting pieces shaped for the new nose, not a near-miss.
A few things that make this front end vulnerable:
- The corners wrap tightly around the sides and sit low, so they catch curbs and dock bumpers first
- The chrome finish shows every rock chip from following a gravel hauler for twenty miles
- Fog light cutouts leave an edge that cracks if the light gets pushed inward
- The lower vent is thin plastic and doesn't survive a run-in with a parking block
We've watched plenty of drivers accept a cracked corner for months because the dealer quote made them wince. A Kenworth t680 next gen bumper cover from us costs a fraction of that, and it ships the same day, so there's no reason to keep driving a truck that looks like it lost a fight.
What's on this page and how to pick the right piece
Everything here comes in either chrome or black. The chrome is a plated finish that matches the look Kenworth put on the higher trim levels. The black is a paintable plastic, which fleets like because it hides road grime and body shops like because it takes color-matched paint without much prep. Beyond finish, the main question is whether your truck has fog lights. Parts come with the cutout or without, and ordering the wrong one is the most common mistake we see, so check the truck before you check out.
Here's how we've organized it:
- Corners, sold per side in chrome or black, with or without the fog light opening
- Full-length covers for the driver or passenger side, same finish and fog light options
- Small cover pairs for the lower sections that take chips and scrapes
- The lower bumper vent as a standalone piece
If you're not sure whether you need a corner or a full cover, send us a photo of the damage. We'll tell you which piece it is. That's not a repair consultation, we don't do those, but matching a photo to a part number is something we've done thousands of times.
For trucks that took a hit across the whole front, a Kenworth t680 bumper cover set gets you both sides in one order at a better price than buying them separately. Purchasing a set is also justified in cases where the chrome finish has tarnished unevenly, and a single new part would look out of place next to a tarnished one.
Every order is shipped with tracking, processed via a secure SSL connection, and includes a reflective vest and a pair of windshield wipers. Most orders placed on weekdays are shipped within 24 hours. If you prefer to place your order by phone rather than online, our phone line is open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM (Pacific Time).
The choice between Kenworth t680 bumper corners and a whole assembly is usually a money question, and the answer is almost always the corner. Kenworth designed this bumper in pieces for exactly that reason, so a hit to the side doesn't mean replacing the center too. Buy only the piece that's damaged. A 2022 Kenworth t680 bumper cover on the passenger side won't be the same part as the one on the driver side, so double-check which one you're adding to the cart. Our listings spell it out.
One more thing on finish, since it comes up on the phone constantly. Chrome and black are not interchangeable by mood. If your truck came with a chrome front end and you put a black corner on one side, it'll look like a temporary fix, because that's what it is. Either match what the truck has or commit to swapping the whole front. Plenty of owner-operators do go the black route on purpose, since the blacked-out look on a Next Gen cab is sharp and the plastic doesn't pit the way plating does after a few salty winters in Ohio. We're not going to tell you which looks better. We'll just make sure both are in stock.
