Hey Milton, thanks for reaching out. For your 2020 Kenworth T680, the Buyers Products Weld-On Pintle Hitch Plate # 3371809043 is the route I recommend. There is not a custom-fit pintle mounting plate available specifically for the T680, so this universal weld-on plate can be fabricated into your truck’s frame setup by a qualified heavy-truck fabrication shop.

The # 3371809043 is rated for 60,000 lbs and accepts standard bolt-on pintle hooks. You can pair it with something like the Curt Pintle Hook # C48231 or the Buyers Products Bolt-On 2" Hitch Receiver Tube # 3371804055.

Since this is going on a Class 8 truck, I recommend having a heavy-truck fabrication shop handle the installation and verify the frame attachment and final towing capacity. That gives you a solid setup for pulling your personal trailer.

What kind of trailer will you be towing?
