Shining a Light on Western Star

The heavy duty transport sector was lauded for its efforts throughout the coronavirus crisis - keeping the country stocked and moving while others went into hibernation. So we're paying our own tribute by shining a light on one of the star heavy duty truck manufacturers – Western Star. Providing you an update of the range and the extras the company puts on the table for buyers.

Western Star has an American heritage. Originally from Canada and now based in Cleveland, Western Star trucks have been a great sight on Australian roads for over 35 years. The Australian business operates from a facility in Wacol in Queensland.

This manufacturer is defined by its hand-crafted trucks and exceptional additional services included seriously good warranty coverage. The range includes vehicles which are ideally suited to Australian road conditions and transport requirements.
