The 2026 Western Star 47X is an ideal vocational truck capable of handling a wide range of tasks, all backed by Western Star’s strong reputation as a top heavy-duty truck. First Fleet Truck Sales in Lake Worth Beach, FL, can help you build a customized 47X for your specific application.
Highlights of the 2026 Western Star 47X
Best-in-Class Safety
Western Star X-series trucks have the Detroit Assurance active safety systems. Designed to improve driver safety, it includes:
- Adaptive cruise control
- Active Brake Assist 5
- Side Guard Assist
- Brake hold mode
The updated windshield offers a 28% greater field of vision, letting drivers see more of the road and surrounding terrain. Larger wipers complement this feature. Dual-stage intelligent headlamps with heated lenses round out the safety features of the 2026 47X.
Composite Roof
The Western Star 47X has a composite roof with a low trench profile. This minimizes overall cab height and makes it more adaptable to over-cab equipment installation. The special design ensures drivers still have excellent interior height and spacious door openings.
Designed for Upfit
Innovative features make the 47X ideal for upfit into various configurations. It easily accommodates mixers, cranes, dump bodies, and more. Each 47X has mid-chassis packaging with features designed to make it easy to build the exact truck you need. Strategic placement of attachments, wiring, and doors allows seamless integration of PTO-dependent equipment. With the Western Star 47X, you can customize:
- DEF tank size and location
- Air tanks
- Battery boxes
- Fuel tanks
- Split hydraulic and fuel tanks
Detroit Connect
The intuitive Detroit Connect portal provides crucial data about each Western Star 47X truck. It gives you a simple way to monitor the health and status of connected trucks. The portal provides fault codes and remote engine reports that allow you to keep equipment running in top shape. That’s a key step in keeping your trucks on the road instead of in the shop for unplanned repairs.
You can also use the Detroit Connect system for locating fleet vehicles. GPS tracking gives precise location data. For even tighter control, you can establish geofenced areas and receive alerts when drivers leave the designated area.
New Shorter Hood
Perhaps the most notable new feature of the 47X is its shorter bumper-to-back-of-cab measurement. The 2026 model features a 111-inch BBC measurement, making it a great choice where overall length is a concern. It also improves maneuverability in urban areas and on congested job sites.
Top Uses for the 47X
This versatile truck has many practical applications. It is best suited for jobs that are weight sensitive, such as bulk hauling and mixing. Top uses for the 47X include:
- Construction vehicles
- Dump trucks
- Cement mixers
- Snow plows
- Logging trucks
