There was a lot of love for the older generations, industry-wide; but innovations had to be made to accommodate technology that is becoming more and more common in the industry. They found a good balance point

I would like to see more reviews on the Western Star trucks, I'm planning to get a 57x in the near future, but I don't see anyone doing videos on them. Great video

Is mostly a Cascadia with western star badge

It shares the same sleeper shell as the Cascadia, but Western Star offers many more options, inside and out. If you’ve ever needed to find parts for the older Star sleepers - you’ll appreciate this change 👍

This is how you do a review of a truck. You really did a full walk through, and not just show me the motor or outside only 😂.

That is an awesome truck dawg!!!

Thanks for watching. Everyone has a preference. PACCAR and DTNA both have commonalities among their respective OEMs, and there are great reasons for this. I’ll do a video explaining the reason for this, and how it benefits the customer in many ways.

That’s all it is. A Freightliner Cascadia with a bigger hood

Pretty negative comments I’m reading , Its a beautiful truck , I drive a x49 dump truck and love it. I had my own 2000 4964SX dump truck and loved that truck too. But as classy as the old school stars were , they were getting a bit long in the tooth. Sure I can see some Mercedes DNA in the new ones. Doesn’t bother me , Thanks for showing the truck :)

Appreciate the comment! Lots of tech updates, engine updates, better fuel economy, and so quiet and comfortable. I’ll always appreciate the old 4900 s/f Stars, the 5700s, and the vocational 4700s - but these will catch on very quickly! Thanks for the feedback!

@@MidwestBestHDTrucks You got a different hood the inside has as much plastic as a cascadia ..Wow the mirrors aren't the same .

Evendoe its a casscadia its still nice

Then dash board seems like it would set the manual transmission stick back. Making the arm in an uncomfortable position. I was going to get one next year but I will probably go with a cascadia manual. The dash on the star comes into the cab too much. And again effects the placement of the stick

Nothing like a low-max - I hear ya. That’s a timeless truck. But time goes on, and the industry demands innovation. With that being said, FRTL/WST handled that challenge incredibly well.

It is an option. If you check out my previous video, of the yellow Cascadia, I demonstrate DTNA’s optional digital dash. No other manufacturers have anything like it. Another example of FRTL/WST being years ahead of the competition🥇

Western Star was a pretty good old truck before they sold out and like I said before when I hurt your feelings I wouldn't own one of those pieces of SHIT !
