May 25, 2023 · The Big 16-litre diesel was rated at 560hp, although they can be rated at between 500 and 600hp, and torque was 2050lb-ft (2779Nm). The Western Star 48X is a good-looking truck and it drew plenty of attention on our run up the Hume. With the DT12 transmission the Detroit Assurance Safety System comes standard.
Jul 25, 2023 · Much like the flash 48X model which attracted so much interest just a week earlier during X-series’ public debut at the Brisbane Truck Show, the specification of the test unit was straight out of Western Star’s latest tool chest: a 48X with a 36 inch mid-rise sleeper and aero kit, a 600hp Detroit DD16 engine coupled to the high torque version of the DT12 automated 12-speed overdrive ...
Sep 8, 2023 · Types of Truck Tires. One of the first things you'll have to decide on when selecting tires for your truck is whether you want Highway (HT), All-Terrain/Hybrid (AT), Mud/Max Traction (MT), or Snow ...
It's comparable to the Longhorns, but has more add-ons. I like it, but it's not in my top ten. In my opinion chained tires work good in mud, so no problem due to lack of mud tires. I love it, definitely glad I bought it. I pretty much use the Voron AE-4380 and Tayga6436 full equipped for all my hauling needs.

It’s in our best interest as journalists and fellow gearheads to bring you the most informative yet honest reviews possible in every buyer’s guide. That said, it’s not quite feasible to source a dozen tires to test on a dozen trucks, but that hasn’t stopped me from supplementing hands-on tire tests with strenuous and extensive research. I dived dee...
Standing atop one of the most comprehensive tire guides we’ve made, Yokohama’s Geolandar G015 is a stellar choice for truck buyers who want to try all the things that truck people do. Firestone’s Destination LE3 easily sprints away as the Best Value pick for putting up a good impression of a premium all-season at a budget price. And Michelin’s Agil...
Winter Tires
Winter tires for trucks are no different than their car-centric counterparts; they’re merely upscaled and toughened for their new, burlier machines. Softer, high-silica rubber compounds resist freezing in extreme cold, and jagged tread patterns with plentiful siping create abrasive edges for literally clawing at snow and ice. Their downfall comes in warmer months as they soften with the heat, bringing with them compromised tread life and sluggish driving dynamics. For places where winters are...
Off-Road Tires
Pretty self-explanatory, huh? These are your massive, burly options defined by Minecraft-esque tread patterns designed to claw at sand, fling up mud, and scale up rock walls. These are tires for trucks that live off the beaten tarmac and spend weekends searching for new campsites or living out wannabe Baja racer fantasies. All-terrains are quite competent at traversing most surfaces in most weather conditions. Hyper-focused mud tiresmay elevate their off-road prowess with blockier tread, ston...
Highway All-Season
On the most sedate end of the truck tire scale sits a nice, cozy highway all-season. As the name suggests, they’re street-oriented rubber with a focus on another truck strong suit: long-distance hauling. These are highly-resilient tires for literally going the extra mile, just like your extended range fuel tanks, and deliver the quietest, most refined road manners for trucks. Some tires are specifically toughened up for towing or use on cargo vans and heavy-duty trucks, and some may come 3PMS...
