I have always driven a freightliner Cascadia but will soon be given a new Western Star 57x and I’m pleased to see the similarities.

Did you get your 57x . Cause originally planning buy Cascadia but give thought to west now . Would appreciate your input.🙏

Can the hood mirrors be temporarily folded down against the hood? To get them out of the line fire when a Swift driver tries to back in next to the truck at a rest stop?

Heck yeah the shoutout to ATS! Awesome truck I'm enjoying driving it around.

Not hard to see that Western Star is owned by Mercedes-Benz

So sad how western star got rid of its classy look with cherry wood to plastic! I can just imagine the rattling sound of that Murphy bed while driving

Yeah. I liked the interior of the 57 XE much better. Much prefer the gauges to the digital display. And the cherry wood was a classic look. Very classy. I read somewhere that some companies were using the 57 XE as a reward truck for their better drivers. Why would they make the interior now look like a freightliner. This truck really stood out before.

Hi Jim from Australia, a very good video mate.

I AGREE, THE WESTERN STAR 57X IS A GREAT TRUCK ALL AROUND

I love the truck its been great to me so far. I'd like to see a video on how you clear the trip information so that it can be reset if its possible. Thank you in advance if your able to do so

I'm sitting here at the truck stop and there is a beautiful old school long nose Western star here maybe you should go back to that's because that's what's class

I would like to know how much room is there behind the seat. Would like to be able to in bolt the seat and move it back for optimal leg room

While you're cycling thru the digital gauges to find the ones you want, you're taking your eyes off the road. All these modal electronic displays will cause just as much distracted driving as cycling thru your smartphone contacts list to find the contact you want to phone. So if you change your mind, you'll need to pull over and cycle to other gauges. The old analog gauges were always all there for you, all the time.

Actually it is freightliners version different hood and a couple other things built by dalmer

I like it

Need the 82-inch sleeper

The side box compartment makes it look generic but its still a nice looking truck

Cascadia rolling plastic truck! Looks like a Prostar now

Sure would be nice to see how to customize your gauges so you can actually see them on the screen...

looks like a very nice seat i always driver freightliners internationals peterbilt 579 is my fav truck to drive this one lloooks like it has a nice seat like peterbilt idk about the ride tho

To put it simply, it's a Freightliner Cascadia plus Mercedes luxury 😊

That bed looks huge

The instrumental panel looks like a after a thought. Let's just throw a tablet instead building a real cluster. Same as new cascadia also.

I like the wood in the 5700xe a lot better then the plastic in the 57x. The 57x looks just like a frightliner with same same options plastic garbage.

My 2022 cascadia looks exactly like this interior but my truck was $167,000 and this one is $200,000. I’m not getting anything better

Becoming more and more like the Cascadia

That's why I say this

They could put a kicker or rockford 10 inch sub in there .

I would rather have the Cummins engine . And I'm not sold on those door mirrors . I drive a Mack Anthem and the door mirrors block my view at intersections . I like how Kenworth and Peterbuilt engineered their door mirrors . My other concern about Western Star is box storage space .

This is literally the exact same shell of a truck my cascadia evolution had, the 72”, but this has a western star front clip… this is very, very disappointing. I will hand them this though… the bunk is definitely livable..

Freightliner Cascadia with a different hood, basically.

*Frieghtliner Cascadia

That’s a Freightliner interior 100%

Where’s the driving video?

Freightliner with Western Star emblem

How about shutting the door

It looks more like a new Mercedes car then as a semi.

Yup. And a bit more equipement and more classier.

Are these available in 18spd?

I’d want the analog.

It's a freightliner Cascadia with a different hood.

Analog gauge all the way. That finger swiping touch pad on the steering wheel is such a terrible idea

now make the passenger seat swivel to the back

Why do you call this a western star? It's clearly a freightliner.

I was thinking the samething

It’s just a better looking cascadia 🤷🏾‍♂️ Peterbilt and kenworth are similar in a lot of ways too, but at least have justifiable differences

loll Nothing change look all the same...hey here something. Tell them too drop the price of the 57X Westernstar and maybe it might help loll

95% of the data codes are from the Freightliner Cascadia. Looks nice, lots of plastic.

Dam minivans

the old model is far superior to this freightliner model.

This is a big disappointment for Western Starr to become Freighter Cascadia With some extra options. 👎

Be like gm vehicles, freightliner is the chevrolet, while the western star is the buick ,interchangeable parts !

It's Mercedes Actros

Cascadia clone?

Daimler are masters in giving partners left over tech.... This is a rerun of the Chrysler 300 LX modus.. Give the Yanks a couple of S-class screens and let them keep the rest of the stoneage tech they use to built trucks with... Look @ the 2023 MB Actros and you see the picture....

And there fucking slow to build it

I despise all trucks with electronics in the steering wheel. I like to put my arms thru wheel sometimes and steer with my elbows. On Volvos you cancel the headlights by accident doing this. Not good.

What a disappointment. The gauge cluster is just a bunch of future problems. Also a chrome chunk of plastic mounted where the air breathers used to be is just cheap looking. The future of trucking for a driver is well past its prime.

The digital dash works in Europe since 6 years now.... Without problems. Everything whats "new" in the US at Freightliner or Western Star is at least 3 or 4 years old. Developed by Daimler Trucks Europe.

Freightliner is destroying the western star brand

Nobody is building a truck anymore. These plastic and fibreglass mistakes are a poor substitute. And I drive a 5700 Star.

It's a cascadia enough already Western star is dead.

Why do all new trucks look like cheap plastic rubbish

Nothing more than a freightliner with western star name. Big disappointment

I miss the old trucks with real gauges matter a fact a whole dash of them. This new age stuff feels like iam driving an oversized pick up . Took the fun out of trucking. They ain't loud no more , they ain't fast no more , they just ain't as cool as it used to be. Bring back the black smoke . What I'd do to watch that needle spin around again !
