Hello and welcome to this Western Star 57X truck review. Today we are going to tell you everything you need to know about the Western Star 57X. Announced! Western Star today introduced the latest addition to its X-series, the all-new Western Star 57X. The on-highway truck joins the new Western Star 47X and 49X to complete a lineup purpose-built for toughness, productivity, and efficiency. Exterior Four cab options are available to suit any application, including day cab, 60-inch midroof, 72-inch midroof, or 72-inch stratosphere. All deliver maximum comfort with leather seating and, on sleeper models, an optional enhanced driver's lounge with table and murphy bed provide for better rest and downtime. Extensive wind tunnel testing enabled their engineers and designers to create a sleek, modern chassis with bold aerodynamics that help deliver maximum fuel efficiency in all conditions and at any speed. The 57X is equipped with dual-stage intelligent LED headlights, which are impact-resistant and have a heated lens to melt away ice. The LED output is designed to fully illuminate the road, including off to the sides of the vehicle, to reduce eye fatigue while letting operators detect objects sooner. Interior Western Star's focus on building the most comfortable cabs possible continues with the 57X. Lightweight steel-reinforced aluminum cabs offer a host of features designed to reduce noise and increase comfort to keep drivers efficient and safe. The interior is available in three different trims, quarry gray, charcoal black, and timber brown. Also, the seats can be selected in different colors. The ergonomic dash with digital interface features an easy-to-read and customizable layout that displays the data you need at a glance. With integrated steering wheel controls, you change vehicle information and entertainment settings without your hands ever leaving the wheel. Eat, work, relax, and recharge with our optional driver's lounge, which features a two-seat dinette and work table, which folds down into a comfortable sleeping area when it's time to call it a day. Big sleeper cab includes large wardrobe, microwave, and refrigerator cabinets for excellent storage. Both single bed and dual bunk options are available to meet your needs. Also available is a Webasto heater, an HVAC cooling system, and much more. Engine The 57X is delivered with the Detroit DD13, DD15, or DD16 engines providing from 370 to 600 horsepower with up to 2,050 pound-feet. The DD15 is backed by years of proven performance. The new Detroit DD15 Gen 5 takes reliability, durability, and productivity to the next level. Perfect for any operation, vocational or on-highway, the DD15 delivers everything you need from an engine, including greater profitability. If you want a bit more power, the DD16 might be the choice. The biggest, toughest, and most powerful engine Detroit has ever produced, the DD16 is the only 16-liter engine available. And since it offers the longest service intervals in the industry, it tackles your hardest jobs while increasing uptime and profitability. Drive Slash Gear The 57X is available with the Detroit Automated Transmissions or the Eaton Fuller Manual Transmission.
