Western Star enhances lineup

LOUISVILLE, KY. Western Star Trucks announced several updates to its product line at the Mid-America Trucking Show here today, including the following:

  • All models will be built with new insulation in the cab and sleeper beginning later in the year. Benefits include greater sound absorption and lighter weight.
  • The OEM’s 6900 XD Twin Steer is now available with all-wheel drive, for applications requiring additional traction and power.
