Most people don't get what this is,it's a State to State highway truck, developed in a wind tunnel. Biggest selling point is the Detriot Diesel engine, which is one of the most economical engines currently available, which, to the sensible,along with the aerodynamics, is the most important thing in Biden-land,given the huge increase in fuel prices....dreamers can stick to trucks with the aero of a brick,that belong in the early 1970's! Certainly a good challenge to Paccar!

Yeah exactly. It’s not meant to be time machine that is recreating 1970. This is a 2023 Highway truck that is meant to solve 2023 problems. It may be based on a freightliner but it does have some “toughness” that western star is known for. Take the heated headlight and crack resistant windshield for example.

Really cool and safe truck.

I like this truck

Cascadia 2.0! Just live up to it, guys.

Exceptional Desing...Outstanding Technical details...Excellent Workmanship...In a word, "EXTRAORDINARY" ... Congratulations...Thanks...Maybe a miracle will happen and I can come to your, Beautiful country and buy a " Western Star".......... I wish you days full of Health, Happines and Wealth....👍 ❤️ ...

The 49X sports: Side Guard Assist (SGA), Active Brake Assist 5 (ABA5), Tailgate Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) to 0 MPH, Lane Departure Warning, Video Capture, Intelligent High-Beam and Automatic Wipers and Headlamps. Nearly everything accept lane-keep assist. I don't know if it has the automatic emergency stopping feature that was demonstrated. Was the first time I have seen that.

Would look sharper with a chrome bumper.

Once I realized how many times he said “uhh” it became the only thing I could hear.

Nice fail guys, you had a chance to knock this out of the park and screwed it up by not changing the roof design and it just looks like a cascadia with a western star hood.

@@user-kv1zj2mf9d you got the cheap part right.

Those digital monitors are an Achilles heel! Same (optional) setup in the new cascadias.

western star was always a great truck now since Freightliner took over its really f-up everything looks like a Freightliner needs to get some owner operators and get some option that they like thats what western star was built on

This looks like 3rd generation cascadia lol

57X is down shifting for western star brand. Truck drivers loved classic style and don’t deserve treatment like this. Don’t get me wrong, cascadia nice truck for companies, gives good MPG and pretty reliable for most shop repairs…but it’s not compare to previous models that western star had before.

WOW THE DEAD OF WESTERN STAR AND RENAME OF CASCADIA

Why? Why even bother making another cascadia

Man freightliner cascadia is one of the most reliable in the business. Seen plenty of other trucks on the side of the road with the hoods up on my many trips over MT Hood this summer. Don't recall seeing a Western star or a Cascadia. 🤔

Yes it is aerodynamic. So what? Have you seen the price of diesel? Some people are trucking to make a living not because they like sitting in a chromed out brick.

That’s annoying

Nahhh!!!! You've gone away from what a western star is!, doesn't sound like a truck, doesn't look like a truck and it definitely doesn't look like it has the capability of a truck, might as well be driving a car, good thing its in America, you keep your plastic fantastic what YOU!!!! Call a truck over there in the States and well keep doing what we do best over here in Australia DRIVE REAL TRUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!,

Where the Australian trucks from? Kenworth, Freightliner, Western Star etc. You still drive american trucks , but on the wrong side of the road!

Might as well buy a boring bland ass freightliner if you want this type of truck. I know these aerodynamic trucks are more fuel efficient but they all look bland as hell and have no uniqueness. I’d rather spend more money in fuel for a Kenworth or Peter built and have some kind of uniqueness and style to it
