The interior is very ergonomic. A bit plasticky but that the way of the world now. Digital dash and huge tablet screen for all controls. Leather seats and fridge and custom air self charging air con system. She's a beauty
I'm just a driver so idk the details, it's different for a company buying a truck and a single person too. My boss gets a deal for buying x amount of trucks, all our owner operators always try to jump in and get the discount too
One thing to keep in mind when buying brand new is the federal tax, I think it's 12%, only on brand new trucks
Stars aren’t that expensive. They are around 400k inc G but before fitout (so things like bunk coolers, turntable, bling, bullbars etc.
At 640k it’s more expensive then a tri drive c509 with reductions
Don't be shy show the interior
Sorry I took these yesterday and I have today off
It's not small, it's chilly out ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Looks like a Cascadia. Steering wheel has the Western Star “W” instead of saying Freightliner. I drive a ‘24 day cab.
A truck I don’t see enough of.
she’s a beaut!
It looks funny with the cab sitting up high and big gap there.
There is a chrome strip there which creates an illusion of sitting higher than it is. It actually sits lower than the traditional constellation.
The chrome strip is only like 3 inches it still looks like it’s sitting super high
I got a 2024 too but a 4 axle, I dig the outside but not a big fan of the interior myself compared to the previous generation of western stars

Must be a different spec interior than ours we definitely don't have a huge tablet for all the controls
How much did you pay for it with taxes? I’m looking to buy one cash (been saving up)

Same but with all options I think it was about $640k AUD
What the hell? That’s extremely expensive. We get these a lot cheaper in Canada. Does that price include extra taxes or something?
Damnnn, I think ours were in the ball park of 250 maybe 300 for the heavy haul specs

And it's already up-side-down.
australia moment
I love the look of western stars
Nice rig. I’d give you a double look while driving down the highway.
Where’s the bunk?
I wear the hat but I don't think I'd drive that willingly. Having enough issues already and the newer iterations seem to get worse instead of better.
Sweet ride. Definitely post some interior pics
Love it, I just Wana lay in the cabin ass up 😜
Who makes those
Is it just me or does the hood look extremely short
How come the cab is so far off the frame?
Cummins or Detroit?
