Bullheaded Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Got an email from Western Star this morning. Here it is. And just like I said.....a Coronado 122SD with a Star 4700 grill and an ugly interior. https://www.westernstartrucks.com/thenext/ And here we thought Volvo was going to dismantle Mack first, LOL Anyway, pricing last dump truck, a 122SD spec for spec was 17 grand cheaper than a Star. So I know which one I'd be buying. And it ain't the new Star. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/64390-western-star-49x-reveal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadwayR Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 No wait, it has the cool little 'W' mudflaps ahead of the front wheels, that makes it a Star Car for sure! Does this mean the end is coming for the Western Star steel cab? Buy a Freightliner SD114 and save even more money. The International HX is looking better all the time. Autocar conventional too.

Bullheaded Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 I can tell you 100% for sure........the International HX is a way better built truck than the 2013 and 2020 Star 4900's I was running.

fjh Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Don't forget star got folded into the freightliner brand long before the Swedish snapped up the mack logo! The Volvo cab is still coming I takes time to render things down to nothing!

I buddy of mine used to buy a new Star every year or two and said that the quality went down after they left Kelowna. I know a couple guys that worked at WS in Kelowna and those guys were VERY proud of the tucks they built. It only stands to reason that once they were bought by freightliner it wouldn't take long for them to start building them like freightliners.

It will be several years before We get the X series.. But I guess Time will Tell...
