Meet the Western Star 49X

The All New Western Star 49X

Designed from the ground up to meet the unique needs of vocational customers

Over the course of six years, Western Star started with a clean slate with the sole intent of developing a new generation of industry leading products from the ground up for the heavy vocational segment
That design intent is evident in the product design: tougher, yet lighter weight cab; highest RBM in a single channel frame rail; and more
Co-created with input from our customers, dealers and truck equipment manufacturers (TEMs) to ensure their input was captured in the design of the new truck
This truck was proven like no other truck before it – cab crush, pendulum, frame twist, shaker, Madras, Bemidji – to ensure this truck could take a beating from any vocational environment and still get the job done, while maintaining truck durability

THE ALL NEW

They sure don’t make trucks the way they used to. Just when that statement feels like it’s never been more true, along comes the new Western Star.

Designed from the ground up to outperform expectations – and every other truck out there – the 49X exceeds Western Star’s already-legendary reputation for toughness and longevity, with easier upfit, improved uptime and safety technology found nowhere else in the vocational truck market.

Whether you’ve owned Western Star for years or never have before, now is the time to break new ground.

BUILT WITH ONE GOAL IN MIND

We spent half a decade designing and engineering the all-new 49X to be the best vocational truck on the market. Period. To achieve that, the 49X had to meet seven benchmarks we established at the start of the project. And we put it to the test to make sure it delivered on every one of them.
