Latest Heavy-Duty Trucks, Class 7 & 8, >26,000 GVW

All-wheel drive versions of Western Star 4700SB (setback front axle) come in 4x4 and 6x6 versions.

Caterpillar’s vocational truck went into production last summer, and units are heading to dealers right now. What are people making of them? That depends on where they stand.

The Peterbilt model 382, designed for vocational markets, is now available with expanded options.

Freightliner has added two models to its line of SD (severe duty) trucks for which it has ambitious marketing plans. The added trucks are a 114SD with a set-back steer axle and a shorter 108SD, also with a setback axle.

Caterpillar’s new Class 8 vocational truck is rugged and designed for customization, low cost of ownership and driver comfort, and will be at Cat dealers by this summer, company executives said at its unveiling Sunday at Caesar’s Palace. The CT660 that emerged from the ceremonial smoke was painted viper red to emphasize that it can be painted in many other colors than machinery yellow.
