Every 47X has a job to get done, day in and day out. That kind of reliability doesn’t just happen by accident. Every component is intentionally crafted and engineered to handle everything a jobsite throws at it with ease, because we know the mud, rocks, dust, and difficult terrain can take a daily toll on not only the truck but also the operator. But not when it’s a Western Star. Dependability, safety, and superior operator comfort aren’t just the goals we reach for; they’re the standard we build into every X-Series.
Engineered for the needs of the jobsite, the 47X features a shorter 111.0" BBC and shorter hood design to provide the best possible maneuverability and turning radius in the market. The truck is ideal for applications that require a customizable chassis for equipment packaging to meet local vehicle length requirements and lessen weight without sacrificing on payload.
The ideal choice for tight jobsites, stop-and-go demands, and turning heads.
The most durable choice is also the safest choice for hauling liquids, gas and dry bulk.
Lighter weight and more compact won’t take anything away from payload.
The heavy-duty vocational frame underneath the 47X is engineered to stand up to the demands dump trucks, concrete mixers, and crane trucks experience on infrastructure and construction projects, while being lighter weight, more durable, easier to service, and extremely Truck Equipment Manufacturer (TEM) friendly.
Give your 47X even more ways to deliver lasting performance with Detroit’s integrated powertrain solutions. Vocational engines, transmissions, and axles are designed to work together seamlessly for reliability in demanding applications.
Whether your 47X is going to be working on construction sites, on municipal streets, or in concrete plants, your powertrain delivers you the proven torque and hauling power to get payloads moving quickly with fewer regens and greater dependability to keep you working.
The 47X interior features all the comforts that make the long days a little bit easier. The spaciousness creates an inviting environment while the insulation, fit, and finish improves both sound levels and temperature control. And the ergonomic design puts control and critical information within reach, making every job more manageable.
Tight and unpredictable work zones. Jobsite blind spots and visibility issues. Equipment and crew constantly on the move all around you. You’ve got this! You’ve got Detroit Assurance built in your 47X. It’s the most advanced suite of active safety systems ever offered to the vocational market. Detroit Assurance not only works to protect people and property, it helps you reduce the repair and operational costs of having a truck out of service by mitigating collisions — which can mean game-changing productivity to you.
The 47X was designed and engineered with a variety of mid-chassis packaging options, a revolutionary electrical system, and numerous features, all to ease body upfit and make accessing wiring and adding controls fast and simple.
With our proprietary digital frame layout tool, dealers can make sure your truck is spec’d to give TEMs the space they need to help make upfit easier direct from the factory.
