Nice unit there, he'll like the 4900. I've had a few of them and they're good tractors, comfy large and quiet cab, good turning radius and smooth ride. They rode better than a couple KW T-880's we have, just traded out the last 4900, it was a 2019, replaced it with the latest Western Star, the 49X SB. The 49X has an even wider and taller cab than the 4900, this one has 22,000 front with 425 floats, a 22,000 steerable drop pusher and 58,000 rears. This one has the Cummins X15 605/2050 with 18 speed main and 4 speed aux with PTO and double locking 5th wheel with 72" slide, it's a beast but drives like a pickup, really great ride, better vision all around when compared to the 4900 or T-880, so far I'm really liking it a lot.

@@TheBostonTrucker You guys will like it, the 4900 is a great tractor. The 49X is basically an evolution of the 4900, a new and improved version. I'm not overweight, but I'm a fairly sizeable guy and I like a wider, deeper cab with a lot of legroom and as good as the 4900 is in that regard, the 49X is even better. Keep us posted on how you like the automatic, I'm just a bit old school as far as the 3 pedal trucks go, but I'm not against trying something new, just haven't found an automatic that works as well with ultra heavy loads and 3 stage Jake yet. The 49X is almost done, it's getting a ProTech headache rack/chain locker a Whelen strobe bar and a full set of LED load lights this week.

Beautiful looking Western 🌟 .

I like the company colors! When I drove for Worcester Sand and Gravel their fleet colors were Red cab, Black fenders, and White cab roofs. Had mostly R model Mack tractors back then, and the Black fenders wrapped around the radiator grill flowing with the body contours. They also had 3 bought used White Western Star tractors that were the newbie trucks. The Red, Black, and White looks sharp!

I've always been a PACCAR and an older Mack guy, but if I had to buy a new truck (and it couldn't be a glider) I would probably buy one of these Western Stars. I am seeing a lot more of them on the roads these days it seems, and they have a lot of room in the cab compared to a Peterbilt or KW cab.
