The Western Star 57X is a truck in American Truck Simulator manufactured by the American truck manufacturer called Western Star. It was added to the game on August 2, 2022, during the 1.45 update.
This truck is all about driver comfort, safety, technology and a bold design. The 57X is the best of both worlds, bringing you that X-Series DNA with that bold design, rugged durability, along with Daimler's on-highway platform tested over millions of miles bringing you the most advanced on-highway Western Star ever.
One of those distinct elements about the X-Series DNA is air intake LED lights, as well as the dual stage heated LED lights in the front. While looks are important part of the design, you'll notice that aerodynamics play a really important part as well. From the two piece aerodynamic bumper designed for maximum efficiency by directing air around and then through the bumper. To other parts such as the chassis fairings, chassis skirts and two 24-inch side extenders and a roof spoiler. All of these elements play their part in adding efficiency and ultimately uptime for the driver.
The 57X replaces the 5700XE as Western Star's on-highway offering. Out of all the Western Star trucks the 57X and 49X is normally what you see driving down the road in the Day Cab variant.
“
The Western Star® 57X combines the best of two worlds – taking the X-Series DNA with bold design & rugged durability, combining it with the best of Daimler Truck North America’s on-highway platform, tested over millions of miles, bringing you the most advanced and innovative Western Star highway truck. Ever!
