The #49X Power Hood is here to deliver. It’s designed for higher horsepower when spec’ing a set-forward axle, and is made from a thermal-set resin that makes it lightweight and impact resistant. Aaron Scates, our VP of Vocational Market Development, is here to show off everything this powerhouse has to offer. #WesternStar #WesternStarTrucks #PowerHood

About us
Western Star is a truck manufacturer producing a range of Class 8 commercial vehicles for both highway and off-road use. We started engineering heavy-duty trucks in 1967. Trucks that proved tough enough to take on mountainous logging operations, deep mines and sweltering oil fields. Vocations where cut corners and compromise can mean the difference between a good day and an early funeral. Goes without saying that when we started building highway trucks, we built them the same as our work trucks: by hand, one at a time, to ensure every truck is built to last and built exactly the way you need. Western Star Trucks is a subsidiary of Daimler Trucks North America LLC, a Daimler company.

🚨 Attention Star Nation🚨 John Steinhauer just brought his A-game with his #StarNationExperience entry! With over 30 years in construction, John’s driven just about every truck out there, but nothing compares to his new 49X. "Talk about a beast of a truck! With the @demanddetroit DD16 and transmission, I haven’t found a place this truck won’t go or a hill she won’t pull. As for the ride, it’s AMAZING! It's so comfortable and quiet. This truck is designed for the long work day so you never need to back down before the end of the day, which we all know can be long ones. Thanks for building a truck for the hard working man." Do you have what it takes to stand out? We want to see your entry. Click the link here for more information: https://bit.ly/SNE2025 #StarNation #WesternStar #TruckLife
