Western Star – other trucks: the collective page outside the named ranges with the 4900, the 5700 XE and the 4964 F, displacement 14.8 litres, gross weight up to 23.6 t
This page gathers the Western Star trucks the register could not assign to a named range: the 4964 F, the aerodynamically shaped 5700 XE and the classic 4900. Western Star was founded in Portland, Oregon, and has been part of Daimler Truck since 2000; the brand stands for heavy tractor units and construction vehicles in the North American market.

The register lists 3 versions here with a displacement of 14,800 cm³ from the six-cylinder engine, kerb weights from 7,790 to 8,440 kg, gross vehicle weights from 23,448 to 23,586 kg, lengths from 8,040 to 8,900 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm.
At these weights the models belong to the heavy Class 8 category of the North American market, used in long-haul transport as tractor units and on construction sites as tipper and mixer chassis alongside Kenworth, Peterbilt and Freightliner. The brand's characteristically tall grille and boxy cab styling, largely built to order, make it widely recognisable on North American highways and long-haul routes.
For a used example, check the mileage and service history of the six-cylinder diesel, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, the operation of the air brake system, and the frame and axle suspension; parts are available through the Western Star and Daimler Truck dealer network in North America.
