X-SERIES VOCATIONAL

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

SIMPLY THE

BEST TRUCKS

WE’VE EVER BUILT.

WESTERN STAR TRUCKS have always been built to deliver more. More durability, more dependability and more value. And with the all-new X-Series family of vocational trucks, we’ve taken that commitment even farther. These are trucks that break new ground both on the jobsite and in how the job gets done.

They break new ground in safety, in strength, in technology, in reliability and in what it means to build the world’s toughest trucks. They are trucks born from hard work, with a heritage of performing in a world of unforgiving conditions, just like the people who own them. That’s why we believe you don’t just buy a Western Star, you earn it. So, whether you’ve owned Western Star for years or never have before, it’s time to break new ground with both the all-new 47X and the all-new 49X.

LIKE NO OTHER.

The Western Star X-Series family of trucks have been tested like no other Western Star before. Built from the ground up using an incredible selection of new parts developed specifically to survive the challenges of the vocational market, and matched with cutting-edge technology to make that performance even better.

Then we tested them – every nut, bolt and component to simulate 15 years of use. In the end, every component exceeded our already demanding standards. Because a Western Star truck has to pass our tests before you can put it to yours.

GETTING THE JOB DONE

IS NOW TWICE AS EASY.

When you need a tough truck, Western Star has always been the right choice. And with our X-Series trucks, the toughness Western Star has always been known for is taken to the next level. Both the 47X and 49X are engineered from the ground up to deliver decades of dependable performance. In fact, the 49X represented an industry-changing level of advancement for vocational trucks, delivering power, durability and technology for applications like heavy haul, logging and construction.

And with the addition of the 47X, the reach of the X-Series is extended into even more applications, with a number of new features including a shorter hood and a shorter 110.8" BBC. This shorter configuration is ideal for applications that require optimized equipment packaging to meet local overall vehicle length requirements and applications that need to adhere to bridge laws. So, no matter what job you need to do, there are two purpose-built tools to do it.

WESTERN STAR 7

SINGLE-CHANNEL

RAILS

Not only do the X-Series trucks offer the industry’s first high-strength single-channel rail rated 3.8 million RBM without an insert, there’s also a new, stronger 9.5mm rail that delivers the same RBM rating as an 11mm. 285mm tall instead of 265mm, it saves nearly 100 pounds over the 11mm without sacrificing strength, making it an excellent choice for mixers, as well as vocational tractor applications focused on light weight configurations.

STANDARD ALUMINUM

CROSSMEMBERS

Cast aluminum forward, rear suspension and end-of-frame crossmembers are standard across the X-Series vocational lineup to provide greater weight savings.

FRONT TOW

ASSEMBLY OPTIONS

A number of towing device options are available to give you the purpose-built truck you need. They are all mounted directly to the front frame head for incredible strength, allowing you to pull your truck free without damage, even when using a bulldozer – with up to 140,000-lb tow capacity for extreme-duty applications like logging, when you have to be pulled out of the mud with a full load.

FULL PARENT FRONT FRAME

RAIL EXTENSION OPTIONS

Multiple parent rail front frame extension options are available, eliminating the need for bolt-on extensions or reinforcements.

HEAVY-DUTY

FASTENERS

The phosphate-coated Class 10.9 fine-thread fasteners used to secure components to the frame rail offer a high clamp load and don’t require maintenance.

EASIER

UPFIT

With our proprietary digital frame layout tool, dealers can make sure your truck is spec’d to give truck equipment manufacturers the space they need to help make upfit easier direct from the factory.

ROBUST ROUTING

AND CLIPPING

The 47X and 49X feature an all-new robust routing and clipping design, which keeps air lines and wiring harnesses away from the frame, decreasing chafing and debris build-up for reduced corrosion. Heavy Duty and TEM-dedicated routing and clipping options are available for more complex upfits, allowing additional space to separate and route air lines, harness bundles and more.

SPLAYED

FRAME RAILS

Splayed frame shape at the front of the chassis allows for lower engine and radiator packaging that optimizes hood slope for increased visibility and safety, as well as improved engine serviceability.

TOUGH TRUCKS.

BACKED BY EVEN

STRONGER SUPPORT.

Your trucks are a big investment. That’s why we make sure you have the factory support you need to succeed.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

We invest in technology that can keep your trucks working and working longer. And that goes well beyond technology like Detroit Connect®. With Western Star, you get a full suite of uptime management services and technology to get your trucks back working as soon as possible.

At your dealer, you’ll experience applications like Uptime Pro, Express WriteUp, Techlane™ and Service Tracker which work together to get you checked in quickly, diagnosed quickly and back on the job quickly. And if you perform regular maintenance yourself, ExceleratorSM is our new e-commerce platform that lets you search, find and buy parts all in one place for ease of use and reduced downtime. At Western Star, even our technology works hard.

YOU’RE COVERED

Strong support also means having a strong warranty.

And Western Star trucks are backed by one of the strongest standard warranties in the business.

Extended coverage plans for your truck chassis are designed to reduce downtime and costly repairs by extending protection for time and mileage above and beyond the factory warranty period. Multiple plans are available for up to seven years/250,000 miles for vocational applications or six years/600,000 miles for on-highway.
