Wentward 5000 Series - The path to success!

The Wentward 5000 Series is a series of heavy duty trucks based on the Gavril T-Series produced by Wentward from 1981 to 1996. It may not seem like much of a difference, but the Wentward 5000 actually featured a shorter front end, a different interior, 3 different frame options - 5060, 5070 and 5070 Extended, and more. It was offered with several engine options ranging from V6 and I6 diesel engines to V8 diesel engines. The engines used in these trucks were designed and manufactured by Knightonn and Gavril Trucks. You can attach any gearbox of your choice to the engine of your choice.

The Wentward 5000 series was sold in the US and even Australia. The Australian version of the Wentwward 5000 Series was offered with the same engine options, but with a right-hand drive cab and taller air cleaners to keep the truck from sucking in mud when driving on Australian roads.

Among conventional long-nosed trucks, the 5000 series was also offered in an off-the-beaten-path COE body style. It was only sold in 1 generation of the 5000 series meaning it was sold from 1989 to 1996. Among engines, only TCR11/15 engines from Gavril Trucks were offered.
