Better control on slick winter roads

Western Star 4700 set-back (SB) all-wheel drive (AWD) 6x6 and 4x4 trucks can now be specified with an 18,000-pound front drive axle to provide the maneuverability required for harsh winter conditions. Ideal for snow plow applications, these trucks further come equipped with:

• A heavy-duty front drive axle from Meritor that contributes to sharper wheel cuts, better steering control and optimized weight distribution, helping drivers maintain better control on slick winter roads.
• Increased capacity and better mobility to operate in extreme conditions, and often in tight neighborhood or urban environments.
• Availability with a Cummins L9 engine and hundreds of customization options to better accommodate tough vocational applications.
