2026 Western Star 47x

Category, Truck (dump, Class 8). Utility profile points to vocational cycles, short-route haul, frequent stops, and PTO-driven body work, with 1,500 miles indicating early-life shakedown use rather than wear-driven service history. Powertrain centers on a Detroit DD13 rated at 470 hp, paired to an Allison RDS 6-speed automatic. Driveline layout is 6x4 tandem, a common match for dump work where low-speed control and consistent shift behavior matter more than tight ratio splitting. Spring suspension favors load stability and straightforward bushing and hanger service intervals over ride compliance. Frame and running gear are steel construction with a 218-inch wheelbase, a practical middle ground for maneuvering while keeping enough rail length for body and hoist packaging. Wheels are aluminum, a weight and corrosion advantage, with the tradeoff that impact checks around the bead seat and lug bores still matter on jobsite duty. Cab layout is left-hand drive, and the identification set is present for recordkeeping, serial number 5KKHBPDV5TLWG5856, stock number 316082.
