Western Star’s position as a premium highway tractor in the
owner-operator custom truck market continued with the introduction of the Supertilt hood on 1986 model year trucks. This
innovation revamped the Western Star product line and introduced one of the earliest versions of the sloped hood to the ultra-conservative
heavy truck industry. By 1990, the extreme duty 6900 XD model was in production for the most rugged applications. In 1992, Western Star
won significant contracts with the Canadian military, PT Freeport mining in Indonesia, and highway maintenance trucks for the province of British Columbia.
