2020 Western Star 4800 SB
Durability with even greater maneuverability.The Western Star 4800 offers incredible performance and durability in a 109-inch BBC package, meaning you can get that performance in and out of tight spots. Featuring a streamlined cab, Western Star's legendary toughness, and loads of options, you can build to suit any job – no matter how tight the site.
Features may include:
Threaded spring pins- Greaseable threads prevent spring from moving side to side within the shackle. Our exclusive design threads the pins directly into the spring bushing providing much more stability, improved feel and overall handling.
- ...that make it easier and safer to get in and out of the truck.
- Internally mounted protection from the elements. Greater durability to prevent sagging -- a common problem with piano hinges.
- Both the door and the cab have a weather seal that covers its perimeter. This double seal helps maximize the efficiency of our HVAC systems and provides a quieter ride.
- Grade 8 fasteners allow for optional equipment to be installed on the frame, and retorqued in the field as needed.
- Our wiring and air bundles are supported off the frame rail. This allows debris to pass behind the bundle, eliminating the possibility of abrasion which can lead to electrical and air failures.
- Laser etching and color coding ensures ability to troubleshoot wiring issues for the life of the truck.
- Barium insulation is placed between the double walled steel cab. This increases the thermal and acoustic insulation of the truck. Our floor pads are thick which further improves the quiet ride of a Western Star.
- Protected in the cab rather than being on the firewall and exposed to elements.
- Large waterproof switches are easy to operate with gloves on and are protected from water and salt which can create shorts.
- Suspended brake, clutch and accelerator pedals are easy to clean, and prevent objects from becoming lodged behind pedals -- a great safety feature.
- The PDM and fuses are easily accessed by removing a panel on the passenger side dash. This allows you to sit comfortably in the cab when working on fuses rather than accessing them in an exterior location.
- Integral to the front closing cross member, our towing pins withstand 65k lbs of line pull from a 45 degree angle. The centralized pin equalizes pulling force between the frame rails.
