Western Star 47X

The vocational workhorse of the X-series.

Added to the X-Series in September 2021 as a lighter, weight- and length-sensitive sibling to the 49X, the 47X is 10 inches shorter and about 200 pounds lighter spec-for-spec, engineered specifically to hit the roughly 16,100-pound target the concrete-mixer market demands. Its new 9.5mm frame rail delivers the same strength rating as an 11mm rail while shaving nearly 100 pounds.
