Western Star X-Series
Western Star 47X
Maneuverability Meets Durability
The Perfect Combination of Toughness and Lightness
With a 111.6-inch bumper-to-back-of-cab dimension, the 47X is built for work that demands superior visibility, a tight turning radius and efficient equipment packaging. Its lighter chassis and durable X-Series cab help protect payload without giving up vocational strength.
Built for Productive Vocational Work
Payload and upfit
A heavy-duty 9.5 mm single-channel rail is available for vocational strength with lower chassis weight, while QuickFit electrical interfaces simplify body integration.
Powertrain range
Engine choices span Cummins L9 and X12 options plus the Detroit DD13, covering 260 to 525 horsepower and up to 1,850 lb-ft of torque.
Operator support
A large windshield, available external cameras, active safety systems and an operator-focused cab help improve awareness and comfort.
Level Up Cab Life
Designed Around the Driver
The steel-reinforced aluminum cab combines weight savings with durable doors and hinges. Inside, the wing-style dash, intuitive controls, available premium insulation and configurable trim create a practical workspace for long vocational days.
Built for the Way You Work
The 47X is a maneuverable vocational platform for applications where visibility, payload, body installation, and tight operating spaces matter.
Construction
Its vocational frame supports infrastructure and construction work, including crane-truck bodies.
Dump and Mixer
The short bumper-to-back-of-cab layout helps meet local length and bridge-law needs for dump trucks and concrete mixers.
Logging and Hauling
Western Star identifies log-truck and heavy-haul work among the demanding applications supported by the X-Series cab.
Municipal Fleets
Snowplow-ready PTO options and flexible body upfit make the 47X a practical vocational platform for municipal operations.
