Western Star last month introduced its next-generation vocational truck, the 49X. The truck features a clean sheet design and is built from the ground up to make upfitting easier. The 49X also features a lighter-weight chassis and cab and debuts a new DT 12 transmission. "A vocational truck is a tool for a job," said David Carson, Daimler Trucks North America senior vice president, vocational segment. "We've completely rethought the foundation of the 49X to make it easier to upfit, deliver greater durability, return greater payload and improve productivity at the jobsite."
