- Trucks, Parts and other gross margin was 14.5%. PACCAR expects a fourth-quarter margin of 14%–15%, with production inefficiencies partly offsetting favorable truck pricing.

- Management expects the U.S. and Canadian Class 8 market to expand from 240,000–260,000 trucks in 2026 to 240,000–280,000 in 2027.
- Uncertainty over 2027 nonconformance penalty, or NCP, levels is affecting customer order timing. Management said customers currently prefer proven 200-milligram engines while evaluating lower-NOx technology.
