PROVEN LIKE NO OTHER

The Western Star 49X has been tested like no other Western Star before. Built from the ground up using an incredible selection of new features developed specifically to survive the challenges of the vocational market – as well as proven components with thousands of hours of real-world performance – and matched with cutting-edge technology to make that performance even better. Then we tested it – every nut, bolt and component to simulate 10 to 15 years of use. In the end, every feature of this truck exceeded our already demanding standards. Because it has to pass our tests before you can put it to yours.
