This is the 2015 Western Star 4900EX that I custom ordered in 2014, and sold a couple of years ago with 800,000 kilometers on the clock. 600 horsepower DD16 Detroit, 18 speed Roadranger, 46k Meritor rear axles, 244 inch wheelbase, 68 inch sleeper. I liked the truck itself, it was solid and drove well. I hated that engine though. In hindsight I wish I would've ordered that truck with a Cummins ISX instead of the DD16 Detroit, but so it goes. Only other big downfall with a Western Star is how heavy they are. My truck was a solid ton heavier than most other comparable spec trucks of other brands.
