- Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, we are Blessed to receive something we have been waiting on for a very long time. Our newest member of the fleet #18!!! She's an absolute beauty!!! When we first ordered it, mom and I were hesitant about the Western Star. We preferred to order another Peterbilt 389, but none were available for this style body at that time. So, we made the decision and order the 2024 Western Star 49X and, so far, I have been exceptionally surprised. OK...So, for the basics, as I said, it is a 2024 Western Star 49X with a Miller Industries, Century 9055XL. The 9055XL is a 50 ton integrated (non-rotating) 3-stage boom. The XL is for Extra Long reach and has the same capacity as the standard 50T 3-stage. All outfitted with Feniex lighting!!!!! More videos to come on this truck and its build, but there are many to thank for making this build come together. Most of all, God, for blessing our family and our business. Watch as we continue to receive God's blessings. There is much more to come!!! I hope you enjoy this video!!!
We have a difficult and dangerous job and we take it very seriously, that doesn't mean we can't have fun and enjoy our work. We strive to be polite, professional, efficient, and safe...and still can have fun. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

Again, a very special thank you to all my viewers, family, and friends who having taken the time to show their support. May God bless and protect you all!!!

It's been such a pleasure having you as part of the Feniex family, Ron!
Love your lights
Quad are perfect for this, covers every scenario. ❤

I watch all your videos on my phone only. You made a big thing out of Ethan having his name on the door and then made all views of the driver's door in long shot. Therefore I only have your word for it that Ethan actually has his name on the door. I would like to have seen it for myself too! I'm not saying that it's not there, just that I can't see it on my phone.
Ethan, I am a 74 year old woman and tears fell from my eyes when you saw your name. What an humble, kind, respectable response from you as you first realized your dad and grandmother honored you and your request to have your name on the door. Proud of you!!!
Wishing you and your family the very best of Irish luck with your new truck it's a beauty, goodnight and God bless you all
Nice truck like the remote control it don't look so bulky.Ron I drive the 2024 Peterbilt at same speed fuel mileage around 8.75 gals for all miles monthly beautiful setup better when all the equipment install than it a working truck 😎 🇺🇸
CONGRATULATIONS HERO FANTASTIC JOB WELL. BE SAFE
😅@@johnlyons5194
The truck will be a great addition to your fleet. You could tell Ethan was a little overcome with emotion to see his name on the door. You are a great man for doing that for Ethan. God bless to you, you family the Midwest crew!!!
Congratulations on the new truck and to Ethan for his own special truck. The Millers have grown to be the biggest manufacturer of tow and recovery equipment available, through acquisitions and expansion. So you can't go wrong with Miller. My family has ties to Bill Miller II and he has been good to my mom and others in the family.
Ron, I have enjoyed your videos for over a year, having caught up with all of them. It is always good to see a business with multi generations of the family involved. I especially like the manner in which you encourage the younger guys when they aren't sure of the way the do something. You are very patient with them and use a positive approach to help them learn the ropes. You don't seem to get "rattled" at them. This reflects your faith as you show respect for those who are part of your team.
We have purchased from them for years and they do build a solid and beautiful truck. Thank you for the kind comments and support. We love what we do, try to demonstrate our faith and make sure everyone gets home safely at night. Thank you for watching and God bless.
I'm sure it will be a great contributor to your business, and I bet Ethan is one proud son to have his name on the newest addition to the fleet, shows you have great respect for you workforce and family.
So glad you are keeping Dad's truck
The Senior Father would be proud.
Your dad would be so proud and he is looking down on this moment.
That is such a Sweet and Heart warming gesture. You can clearly see how touched and humbled Ethan was when he saw his name on the door. You could clearly see how much it meant for him to be recognized as an intrinsic part of his generational family business. Congrats Ethan this was a long time in coming, but well worth the wait!
Wow, what a present for your son! I'm sure the tears will hit him later and he'll be ever so grateful. What a great Dad you are. 🏆
Hopefully we will get to see more interstate recoveries like we used to. I do understand that these wreaks and accidents are tragedies but watching you and your crew handle them is was more interesting than watching you flip a forklift. Thanks in advance for considering this.
Agree 110% with you on that Flyerbob 124...
Congratulations on your new truck, I have to admit I did cry when Ethan saw his name on the door. Congratulations Ethan I am proud of you, you have came a very long way. Keep up the awesome job.
Ron and crew please stay safe God Bless you all.
Ethan’s reaction was truly priceless! Congratulations to him and the whole Pratt family on the new rig! She sure is beautiful.
Crouch Equipment and Miller Industries did a GOOD JOB building this truck...congrats Ron and Crew
Do you have the 18 speed Eaton ultra shift
Been watching for years and watching him grow up he has came a long way. You must be proud. God bless you and your family.
Congrats Ron to you, Ethan and the family on the new rig. It warms the heart and soul to see the torch passed on to the next generation.
Awesome addition to the midwest truck fleet congratulations
The look on Ethan's face was priceless such a cool moment
Can wait to see in future recoveries
God bless you Ron and your Family
I love that metallic blue on the boom, hopefully if you repaint the old Western you do it in that blue, and the rotator of course. congrats on the new rig, looking fine. Best of luck, stay safe.
I think one of the plans for the old Western Star is to repaint it to match the rest of the fleat. He said that a while back in a video, but had to wait till they got a replacement for it as it's the fleats work horse. It's hardly ever home except at the end of the day lol.
A beautiful heavy wrecker. That extended boom should be very useful. 50 tons, too.
Capable of handling almost any job. A great investment, Ron.
Congratulations to the Pratt organization!! She is a beautiful vehicle and I think will be a fantastic addition to the stable. I hope she takes care of all who serve with her.
Ron, congratulations on your beautiful new rig. Can't wait to see a video with that beast in action. The red and blues definitely make a statement at night. You will be seen. Thanks for your videos. May God richly bless you, your family, and the Midwest team.
Ron, not many content creators can get me to stop what im doing and have my complete attention, but you, sir, are the one exception. Congrats on the new rig. She looks awesome! Oh, and Ethans face was the face of a son who finally accomplished a major goal! Congratulations to him!
Ron got lots of us hooked... I know I always look foreword to what his family/crew get into... Be it moving a tank or storm pipes to road service calls for cars/trucks and semi's...
Guess this means a new starting/end picture to your videos!
Your daughter’s reaction was priceless!
Congrats.
Wow ! That is when you know you have been blessed. Congratulations to the whole Midwest Family. It is well deserved.
Ron when I saw the thumbnail I was shocked. I thought you bought an International. I was pleased when I watched and saw it was a Western Star. Great looking rig!
Never seen a Western Star look that good..... Beautiful truck and addition to the Fleet...can't wait to see her in action.
Brand new model. Western Star has completely resigned their truck line over the last couple of years. 47X (Entry level Vocational) 49X (Heavy Duty Vocational - Which of course, is the one Midwest Truck picked up.) and the 57X (Over The Road) Western Star is a subsidiary of Daimler Trucks North America, which also has Freightliner and Thomas Built Buses under their umbrella.
Dear Pratt,
I would like to congratulate you on the new Truck, Your son's name on the driver's door was a beautiful moment, I have been following you for years and will continue to do so,
with kind regards from Theo from the Netherlands (Western Europe
Oh my gosh Pratt Clan, I can't begin to tell you how excited I was to see and hear your exuberance and heartfelt emotions in the unveiling of this exquisite beast. My only regret is that I couldn't be there to throw down some hearty handshakes and warm hugs to compliment the celebration.
You Pratts are a stout bunch and I have the greatest love and respect for ya'all. God has truly blessed a family and enterprise that well deserves HIS favor.
Lastly, Ethan, welcome to the Pratt "HALL OF FAME" , with your name inscribed on the newest and most powerful addition to the family. Own this buddy; I mean REALLY OWN THIS, Heart and Soul. I'm 77 yrs young and I'd trade places with you in a nano second. Grab this with all you've got bro and become a legend in this industry.
Congratulation on the new family member! I love the new Western Star, and I was very glad to hear it is an addition to the fleet, and not a replacement. Way too many memories with dads good old Western Star and you had to keep it. Also, you got to keep dad's truck working, and earning, because you know, dad is watching!
Congratulations sir
Congratulation Ron on your new truck well deserved
Beautiful truck and even more beautiful light set up on it! Absolutely love the new truck and Ethan very proud of you to have your name on the truck and proud of how you acted about it as well. Keep up the good work guys and keep keeping people safe
My 4yo boy loves watching your videos. We have watched at least one a day for a year. He said "mumma, this truck is the most amazing truck he has ever seen. We have watched this video multiple times.
He loves watching to the end of each video and always says "thank you for watching and God bless"
He was very sad to see that the flag has been removed from the end of your videos and told that that I had to write to you and tell you that he wishes your flag was back at the end as well as the start.
Thank you for sharing your videos. Your videos make our little boy so happy to see.
Congratulations on your new truck. Loved the reaction on Ethan’s face when he seen his name on the drivers door. Looking forward to seeing future videos.
Outstanding Blessing!!
I presently live in Tennessee and so happy that this state made something that is making you, your family and your company so happy.
The girlfriend's reaction speaks volumes. God bless them both into the future! 🙏🙏
Congratulations to Ethan!!! Ron, I know that you are one proud dad. #18 to the rescue!!! Nice door graphics!
Congratulations on the company’s new truck! Enjoy. And when I saw Ethan’s face when he saw his name…priceless ❤️❤️ God bless you all.
Your Dad is so proud of you and knows he is smiling down on you with arms wrapped around you,knowing you are carrying on the legacy he started. Just a side note the only thing missing from your truck fleet and that is the federal Q siren for people that have hearing impaired as many of us do with electronic siren you can not tell from what direction the siren is coming from thus creating a safety hazard for all.I don’t know why but with the Q’s you can tell the direction the siren is coming from.
Beautiful new truck. I love that you put Ethan's name on it and the look when he first saw it. You are a good man Ron and a great father. God bless!
Congratulations Ron yall definitely deserve it
That being a Western Star is a subtle nod to your Dads favourite truck. Hopefully you can now give the old Wester Star some much needed love, and possibly a Feniex lighting kit. That lighting package is amazing in the dark.
Does the little Pete have a name on the Door?
Ron i been following you guys for the longest and let me tell you..that is a beautiful beast that when people see her they will be happy..and. Congratulations erhan on having ur name on her
Theres not many things that beat getting a brand new workhorse🙂 Enjoy your new toy Ron...you surely deserve it. I'm sure your dad is looking down smiling on you all.
Congratulation Ron, Ethan & the Entire Midwest Truck family... Great Choice on the WS 49X, We now have 2 in our fleet and love them! May the Lord bless your new truck be reliable, profitable and ofcourse may he keep you all safe out there!
Beautiful truck you deserve it
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW WORK HORSE!! IT IS BEAUTIFUL. WE'VE COME A LONG WAY SINCE THE 1970 HOLMES 440 THAT I USED TO DRIVE, GOD BLESS!
Congrats on the new truck- it's a great looking setup and should serve your needs well. Gotta be a special feeling for Ethan to have his name on the door...well deserved.
Proud of you guys ❤ God Be The Glory
No question that Ethan is accepted in the business, his own truck and she is a beauty inside and out. I am sure Ethan will practice driving and using the truck being careful to not mar the finish. Congratulations to the Midwest Truck Family and to Ethan. I am sure Grand dad is smiling ear to ear from heaven!!!
His name on it won't just be his truck to drive Ron will be using it
So, Ron, does this also mean that we might be seeing a new M100 sometime in the next couple years? I certainly hope so. Y'all certainly deserve it, and I feel like it's needed, particularly since y'all have the only rotator in the region, far as I can tell. I know you've been blessed lately, with business picking up a lot, although that is unfortunately a negative thing as much as it is a positive one, given the nature of the business and what it is that generates a lot of that work. Either way, I love seeing y'all expand with new equipment and new team members. It was really great to see Ethan's reaction, especially as much as he's matured, and just how much he's learned and progressed in the family business. He deserved it, for sure. As a longtime viewer and fan, It's been a joy to watch him grow up and become more and more a part of the business through the eyes of the camera over the years.
Thank you so much for the positive comments and support. I don't know about another rotator any time soon....mom needs to breathe after this purchase lol. I appreciate you watching and so glad you enjoy the channel. We are a busy group and hopefully that will continue. Thank you for being a loyal viewer and God bless.
Absolutely beautiful truck, congratulations.. and congratulations to Ethan for getting his name finally on the door of one of the trucks.. I bet he is proud 😊
Congratulations
Congratulations Ron
Good morning from South East Louisiana. That truck is a beautiful Beast . I can't wait to see it working. God is Great !!! John 3.16.
@24Garland, Another Ron Pratt fan here from SE Louisiana. Yes, God has really blessed Ron, his family and business.
Oh my Lord! This is so cool. I literally squealed when I saw it. It's so beautiful Ron. I'm sure your dad is mighty proud of you and Ethan!!!!!
I love the logo on the exterior doors. Looks nice. I cannot wait to see this in action in future videos!
Congrats Midwest Truck, you guys earned it!!!
Beautiful addition to the fleet. Congratulations.
Not ashamed to say I cried right along with Ethan.
OMG he came so far over the years...... CONGRATS Ethan, you got your own unit now!!!!! WTG to all the crew for doing such a wonderful job and thank you Ron for posting the vids to share with the world...
What an absolute BEAUTY!!!
Congratulations on the new truck can’t wait to see it in action.

Congrats on the new addition to the fleet family.
What a beautiful truck! She is a big girl. Congratulations Ethan, on finally have your name “on the door”, I know your dad is proud! Ron, you’ve done well. God truly has blessed!
I love seeing new western stars and freightliner trucks with manual transmissions. First time i've seen one with an 18 speed. Thing's AWESOME
Congratulations Ron and Ethan both! It's truly inspiring to witness businesses thriving despite the challenging global economic climate. God bless and thanks for a great channel.
Congratulations on the Beautiful new truck you and the midwest team deserve it
It is a beautiful truck.
I hope I'm not being out of place saying this, but your dad would be proud of it, he would definitely approve.
Can't wait to see it in action.
Congratulations Ron, it was a pleasure to meet you last July. I DID sell my Peterbilt and retired but, I must admit that I miss the road. May God continue to bless you and your family.
Thanks, you too! Congratulations on retirement!!! My wife was able to retire from education at an early age. It is a blessing, indeed. I know you miss the road, but likely not the crazy chaos that comes with it. Thanks for reaching and out again. Thank you for watching and God bless.
Mazel Tov on your new truck!
It looks amazing. Use it in good health and may you always prosper.
Congratulations well deserved she's a beauty❤❤
Ron, I'm not sure if you are able to change thumbnails for your videos, but I really think 4:45 would be a decent thumbnail for this video. You could tell he was emotional and blessed to see his name on that door. His very own truck. I am sure he was at a loss for words. Absolutely awesome stuff.
What a wonderful addition to your business, Ethan. You have some mighty big shoes to fill.
Congrats Ron. What a beautiful truck she is. Love the good work you and your team are doing.
Congratulations on the new rig. Blessings
Sharp ride, your dad is looking down from heaven and smiling. Stay safe
I sure hope so. Mom wasn't smiling at the cost lol. Thank you for watching and God bless.
Great addition to the family...congratulations!
Congratulations on your new rig. Stay safe.
Take care of her Ethan and she'll take care of you... And yes I'm talking about both your gal and the truck...
You should be very proud of yourself Ethan... You've come a long way and everyone is behind you 💯%... Be true and always do the right thing... I know your MA and Paw brought you up and taught you to do good... Many of us were watching you and your gal's reaction when you saw your name and many of us got emotional with you and your family... Your gal's smile and reaction said it all...!❤
Awesome addition to the fleet.
That’s so great that you guys out there are allowed to use red and blue light with the sirens wish we could use that in Canada would help a lot of tow truck driver out here for sure 👍🏽
Great man with a great family
Congratulations Ron from Czech Republik 😊
Love Western Star rock guards that hang off the front bumper!
Congratulations!
I really hope you have as good of luck with that Western Star as I did with the one I drove. It is a beautiful truck and should serve you for decades. Pray you all stay safe and healthy.
Congrats Ron &Family ❤
Lord Bless this Newest Addition and Keep all who use it Safe. Ron I’ve watched you for a long time and you are a Great Teacher. With that being said, Ethan keep
Listing to your Dad but don’t be afraid to insert your opinion. Thank you for the videos and God Bless…..
Congratulations Ron Pratt yall deserve it may God richly bless you my friend.❤
Hello Ron !! Congratulations!! GOD BLESS ALL !!!
Awesome...!!!❤ That's one beautiful Recovery Tow Truck Ron...!!!
Absolute work of art. Congrats!
Hi Ron. I see God has Blessed you with a wonderful Blessing. I'm very Happy for your new Edition and I will continue to pray that the Work comes for it and Ethan is able to Learn More and Grow to Follow in your Family's footsteps. Congratulations and May God continue to Bless you and your family. Paul from Michigan
Western Star. What a way to honor dad.
Ron that is a beast, congratulations on it. I will say I was a bit surprised you didn’t get that Eaton automatic in it. You seem very please with the capabilities of it when you went on the test run
I guess 20 somethings still prefer the 3 pedal dance. I remember I sure did over any automatic available during the 70s, 80s, 90s
How much of a price premium for the new 18sp automatic over the tried and proven manual?
Congratulations
I have never seen a wrecker with red and blue lights and sirens before. I guess that's legal in MO but where I've grown up and lived (VA, NC, SC) it's been yellow lights only on tow trucks. That is a beautiful beast of a truck and I know Ethan's proud to have his name on that rig!
Oh my! Congratulations, Ron!!
Awesome and congratulations on your new W.S. What a beautiful truck God Bless 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Congratulations absolutely beautiful truck
THAT IS A AWSOME NEW WESTERN STAR OF YOURS. LOVE IT. I BET YOUR REAL HAPPY WITH IT. CONGRATULATIONS. 👍
What an honor for Ethan. He deserves recognition. I sure hope he is the first one to use it on the first call.
Awesome!!! Congrats!! ❤❤
