2026 Western Star 47x

Category, Truck (dump spec), Class 8 tandem 6x4 with low miles that points to initial shake-down use rather than a full duty cycle. Steel build and spring suspension fit jobsite work where torsional load and curb strikes are normal, aluminum wheels help keep rotating weight down while still taking daily brake heat. Powertrain, Detroit DD13 rated 470 hp paired with an Allison RDS 6-speed automatic. Automatic control suits stop-and-go dump cycles, tight backing, and PTO-driven work where consistent launch and reduced clutch wear matter, tandem drive keeps traction when the bed is loaded and the ground is loose. Frame rails, steel chassis with a 218-inch wheelbase that balances maneuvering room with stability under a loaded body. Axle set and spring packs should be checked for initial settling, look for even ride height side-to-side and verify U-bolt torque and spring center pins after early service. Cab controls, left-hand drive layout with automatic shift ergonomics that reduce driver workload in traffic and on short haul. VIN 3BJHBPDVXTDWF9786 and stock 315645 are the identifiers to match against build sheet and upfit paperwork, ECM data was not provided so engine hours, idle percentage, and fault history should be pulled during intake inspection.
