Expanding the already impressive line of next gen vocational trucks.

INTRODUCING THE NEWEST TOOL FOR AN ALREADY IMPRESSIVE BELT
  • 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.

Features may include:

CHASSIS
  • Engineered For Long Life And Quick Upfit

The heavy-duty vocational frame underneath the 47X is engineered to stand up to the demands dump trucks, concrete mixers and crane trucks experience.

CAB
  • A New Cab That’s Just As Tough As Our Expectations

Constructed from a premium-grade aluminum and enhanced with steel reinforcements.

POWERTRAIN
  • Powertrains You Can Count On. Every Single Day.

Whether your 47X is going to be working on construction sites, in quarries, in concrete plants — or even over the road — the DD13 Gen 5 delivers you the proven power.

UPFIT
  • Engineered For Upfit

The X-Series was created with Truck Equipment Manufacturers (TEMs) in mind. We designed the truck to ease body upfit for every type of truck including dump trucks, cement mixers, cranes, and engineered it with features to make it fast and simple to access wiring and add controls.

DOORS
  • The X-Series Door

Caption: Built from rugged steel and designed to be easy to service, it will deliver greater uptime and operator comfort for years to come.

ROOF
  • Trench-style Low Roof

Composite roof with a lowered center section enables optimized packaging of overcab equipment, giving you a purpose-built vehicle that minimizes overall vehicle height while maximizing interior headroom and door opening.

UPTIME
  • Our Job Is To Keep You Doing Yours

Our X-Series trucks represent a big advancement in productivity for vocational trucks thanks to Detroit Connect®. Detroit Connect translates the performance data of any type of truck into real-time information you can use to make the decisions that can help you keep those trucks working and earning.
