Test drive the all-new Western Star 49X vocational truck

Nov 12, 2020 The 49X was engineered to be a bruiser. Its heavy-duty vocational frame was designed for severe service applications, but weighs in about 350 pounds lighter than the current 4900. Work trucks traditionally have been all about function over form, rarely getting the focus and attention to detail of their on-highway counterparts. A vocational tractor is a tool like any other, and tools don’t have to be pretty to be effective. You rarely grab the hammer you want you get the one you need. The vocational market represents about 30% of all Class 8 truck sales, and about 70% of Western Star’s truck sales are vocational trucks. But with the introduction of its newest model – the 49X in September – the company included a little ball gown with its ball-peen.
