    I need inputs from Cascadia owners or operators that know very well the setting on their truck. I have to upgrade my truck soon and doing some research I've concluded that the Cascadia is a very good candidate for my situation. All the information I can gather from all of you will be very important on making a final decision. Let's keep it short and simple, I need info about the truck you are driving, and this is what I need:

    Evolution yes or no
    Engine Manufacturer and Horse Power
    Transmission (number of speeds)
    Differential Ratio
    Tire size
    Trailer Type
    Regional, local or OTR
    Average MPG

    persistent problems?

    Thank you all for your time!

    Here is one person's experience with a new evolution 6x4 autoshift. They've had the truck for about 3 weeks:

    I'd be surprised if they made more than 1500 bucks in those 3 weeks considering Conway's awesome breakdown/layover pay.

    I have a 13 with a 10 speed and love it. She does well on my pocket as I average 7.6 mpg and I run about 43k pretty much always and in the rockies so lots of mountains. The loud beep is a lane departure system and maybe he should have read the manuel lol. I will say that some of the 13s had problems with def but I have not heard that from the 15s. She is slow going up mountains but a regear could fix that. I love mine.

    Have a 2015 and so far it's been flawless so far. It's an Eaton/Fuller 10sp, dd15 running otr and I average between 7+ to 9+ depending on load and route. I can get the mileage down to under 7mpg but really have to work at it. Just checked the other day and overall mileage to date is in the 8+ range.

    Don't have the lane departure system. Do have the TriPak Evolution and although kind of loud at times I'm glad I went with it. Beats the heck out of the battery based apu / ac a lot are using.
