Introducing the All-New Class 8 Western Star 4700
Western Star Truck Sales, Inc. recently introduced its all-new Class 8 vocational truck - the Western Star 4700. The new truck was on display for the first time at the 2011 Work Truck Show, in Indianapolis. Available in a set-forward and set-back configuration, the 4700 features a 279 cm (110’’) BBC – the shortest in its class – and is the ideal solution to meet the needs of the dump, mixer, crane, roll-off, sewer vac and plow applications. “The Western Star 4700 broadens our product line-up to meet the growing needs of value-minded vocational customers who still demand the attributes found in a traditional Western Star truck,” said Mike Jackson, general manager, Western Star. “Hand-built with unmatched attention to detail, the 4700 features the same durability, ruggedness and reliability our customers expect from Western Star.
A broad range of transmissions is also available for the 4700, including the latest Eaton Ultrashift PLUS transmission, and Allison 3000 and 4000-series automatic transmissions. The steel cab is precision welded, then dipped and protected with a proprietary 17-stage e-coat process for long-lasting corrosion resistance and superior paint finish. Its newly designed, sloped hood offers outstanding site lines for optimal visibility. Plus, the short BBC, combined with a 55° wheel cut, provides better maneuverability on tight job sites. The Western Star 4700 will be available to order in the third quarter of 2011, with targeted delivery in early 2012.
