2026 Western Star 49X

Category, Trucks (3). Duty cycle, 470 miles and listed new condition point to a truck that has not seen meaningful load time, suited for vocational or regional day-cab work where cab access, turning radius, and frequent coupling matter more than sleeper amenities. Chassis layout reads as a Class 8 tandem 6x4 with a 216-inch wheelbase, a common middle ground for maneuverability while still leaving room for frame-mounted equipment. Powertrain, Cummins X15 rated at 565 hp paired with an Eaton-Fuller Endurant 18-speed AMT targets heavy gross and grade work without giving up highway speed range. Axle ratings show 13,300 lb front and 40,000 lb rears, a standard heavy tandem spec; air ride suspension supports traction and ride quality for mixed pavement and yard time. Sliding fifth wheel adds flexibility for axle weight distribution when switching between different trailer kingpin settings. Walkaround items, aluminum wheels reduce corrosion risk and simplify inspection for cracks around stud holes; white paint makes panel and fluid-leak detection easier during early service life. Cab configuration is left-hand drive day cab, so interior utility centers on in-and-out ergonomics and visibility rather than bunk storage. Identification, serial 5KJJBWFG8TLWU5295 and stock 334772 are present for service history tracking; ECM hours are not provided, so verification should include pulling engine hours and any fault history before putting it into a duty cycle.
