According to Goodyear and EPA officials "the fuel-efficient line-haul tires deliver up to 4% improved truck fuel economy, and when used with other SmartWay-qualified components, each 18- wheel tractor and trailer used in long-haul can produce savings of up to 4,000 gallons per year, or more than $11,000 annually."

In contrast to the letter series row-crop tractors, which were intended to straddle one or more rows in a field with high clearances and adjustable axles, the W tractors had fixed wheel widths and a generally lower profile with smaller rear wheels and wide front axles, since they were meant for plowing, orchards, wheatfields and other applications that did not require the row-crop features.
Differential braking for rear wheels would allow tight, controlled turns. An experimental model was developed in 1920. By 1923, prototypes of the rear-wheel-drive tractor with narrow front wheels were working crops. Production began in 1924, with tractors selling for $825. Tractors were marketed with a range of attachments for various duties.
