Logging with Western Star Trucks

When it comes to logging, you can’t afford lesser equipment dressed up to look like a logging truck. Western Star has more than 40 years’ experience building the real thing — in Oregon, where logging has been a proud part of history since before trucks were born.

Western Star trucks are hand-crafted one at a time, to your exact specifications. Because you know what you need and what you want. And with more than 3600 available options, “factory customization” means just that.

The Western Star 4900 is plenty powerful and just plain tough

You get pure strength to move the kind of massive loads you deal with every day. Choose extended hood (4900 EX), set-back axle (4900 SB) or set-forward axle (4900 SF) configurations. Three Detroit Diesel and one Cummins engine options offer from 350 to 600 hp and from 1250 to 2050 lb-ft torque.

Of course you’ll also get a reliably rugged transmission and frame, a galvanized steel cab that also comes in a severe option, and an exterior finish that’s highly corrosion-resistant.

Extreme conditions require extreme safety

Western Star trucks aren’t likely to get stuck or crunched. A short BBC ensures nimble maneuverability. Robust bumpers and high ground clearance protect your truck’s exterior and underside even from obstacles you can’t always see.

With Western Star trucks, “service” actually means something

We know what can go wrong, so we’ve engineered everything from the biggest parts to the smallest details to avoid problems. Easy-access and modular construction supports field repair, and longer service intervals mean less down time. Even changing the oil is fast.

Western Star offers unparalleled factory and dealer support, to keep you on site and on the job. Many of our 250 worldwide dealers function 24/7.  And our distribution centers are the industry standard, providing a 98% fill rate.

Aesthetics and comfort matter, too

At the end of the day, it shouldn’t feel like your truck drove you. So the Western Star 4900 offers superior ride quality, comfortable seats, plenty of legroom, wide doorways, quiet interiors and non-glare gauges.

Western Star trucks are simply the top of the line, providing uncompromising quality for uncompromising conditions and customers. You can get the best and save money, too, with exceptional fuel economy and lightweight options that save even more without sacrificing even an ounce of performance or safety.
