Introducing the newest tool for an already impressive belt.

Expanding the already impressive line of next gen vocational trucks.

Our X-Series trucks aren’t just the best trucks we’ve ever built, they’re the best trucks anyone has ever built. Like the 49X before it, the 47X is part of a family that was built from the ground up to bring toughness into the modern age with an impressive collection of engineering, technology and more than half a century of experience building trucks that take on any challenge, anywhere.

The 47X extends the reach of the X-Series into even more vocational applications, with a number of new features including a shorter hood and a shorter 111" BBC. This shorter configuration is ideal for applications that require optimized equipment packaging to meet local overall vehicle length requirements and applications that need to adhere to bridge laws, such as concrete mixers or dump trucks. So, no matter what job you need to do, there’s now another purpose-built tool to do it. Break new ground with the 47X.

Built with one goal in mind

We designed and engineered our X-Series trucks to be the best vocational trucks on the market. The 47X is no exception. To achieve that goal, the 47X had to meet seven benchmarks we established at the very beginning, and we made sure it delivered on every one of them before we offered it to you.
