The 2026 Western Star 47X is engineered to take on tough, high-demand jobs with exceptional strength, maneuverability, and customization options. Purpose-built for industries like waste management, construction, and demolition, this roll-off-ready truck is designed to maximize uptime and deliver long-lasting performance in Lake Worth Beach, FL, and beyond. 

Built for Durability and Strength 

The 47X is constructed on Western Star’s all-new heavy-duty vocational frame, engineered from the ground up for severe applications. The frame rail lineup includes options rated up to 3.8 million RBM, using high-strength single-channel rails. These rails reduce weight while maintaining exceptional rigidity, making the 47X ideal for roll-off operations that demand durability without sacrificing payload. 

Other durability-driven features include: 

  • Aluminum crossmembers for significant weight savings 
  • Robust routing and clipping systems to reduce chafing and corrosion 
  • An impact-resistant molded resin hood engineered to last the lifetime of the truck and nearly 100 lbs. lighter than previous generations 

This truck is built to thrive in punishing conditions, carrying on Western Star’s reputation for legendary toughness. 

Maneuverability Meets Versatility 

The 47X was designed with shorter packaging and exceptional maneuverability, making it perfectly suited for roll-off setups that require frequent navigation of tight job sites. The 110.8″ BBC configuration allows the truck to meet bridge law requirements and packaging constraints without compromising frame space for roll-off equipment. 

The 47X offers: 

  • A tight turning radius with a 20-foot body length 
  • Multiple axle, suspension, and frame height configurations to match specialized roll-off needs 
  • Easy upfit capabilities thanks to mid-chassis packaging that ensures clear back-of-cab space for body builders 

In dense urban areas or active construction sites, the 47X delivers confidence-inspiring control. 

Advanced Technology for Modern Job Sites 

The 2026 Western Star 47X incorporates advanced systems designed to boost uptime, safety, and operator comfort. 

Detroit Assurance® Safety Suite 

The 47X offers one of the most advanced safety systems in the vocational truck market, including: 

  • Active Brake Assist 5 
  • Adaptive Cruise Control to 0 mph (with DT12 transmissions) 
  • Side Guard Assist for enhanced visibility around the passenger side of the truck 

Driver-Focused Cab Design 

The X-Series cab combines comfort with rugged durability: 

  • Aluminum cab construction with steel reinforcements 
  • Quiet Steel® engine tunnel for reduced noise levels 
  • Improved ingress and egress with corrosion-resistant steps and optimized grab points 

These features support drivers who enter and exit the cab frequently during roll-off work. 

Uptime Tools & Connectivity 

With available connectivity tools, operators receive real-time fault analysis and fleet insights that help reduce downtime and optimize service scheduling. 

Engineered for Easy Upfit 

The 47X is intentionally designed to support complex vocational builds like roll-off hoists and hydraulic systems: 

  • QuickFit™ Interface System that simplifies electrical integrations for body builders 
  • FlexPanel space for additional switches or body controls integrated cleanly into the dash 
  • Forward-mounted DEF tanks, multiple air tank placements, and frame-mounted battery box configurations that maximize back-of-cab space 

This means faster installation, cleaner routing, and fewer complications during the build process.
