does anyone actually like their 2009 or newer truck?

I run a 2010 kw t660 and it's ok but wud much rather go back to bout 04 when they still put an engine in the truck

 

Got a 2011 cascadia, like it. Buy a 11 or 12! The 08 thtough 10 epa era engines are full of bugs! Stay way ftom the maxforce or the paccar mx any year! Best of luck!

 

2013 cascadia w/ cummins....love it. Quiet,smooth, and we can actually sleep now while other is driving.
Upto 2 months ago, was driving 03-08 kw w/ mostly cats and one cummins. Felt like we were in tanks...ride was terrible and so loud we found ourselves yelling at each other just to hold conversation while truck was running. And i wont even get started on the 08 regens....nightmare on 3 different trucks.

 

what engine you have

 

2013 prostar+ Maxxforce 13. 10 speed

I like it and am happy with it now that its starting to wake up

the 09 Cascadia I drove I would not buy.

It was mid-low 6's for mpg.

I had issues with water coming in through the windshield that never was able to get sealed. I have read on hear it gets into the wiring harness as well leaking like that. But never personally had that happen.

I personally liked the lay-out of the cab/sleeper over the past trucks I drove, I was sold on buying a Freightliner of my own for my first truck. I was not sold on the power/climbing ability of the truck and feel it was castrated as it had a DD15 set to 455/470 and had a 10spd OD (C trans) in it with 3.42 rears.

I was able to drive a 2010 (had DEF) and it wasn't much better for mileage. Mid-upper 6's. Added expense of DEF with poor mileage.

Our fleet was all Cascadia's spec'd pretty much the same. Some of the 11 models had the DD13 in it, but I never drove one of those.

 

Dd 15 435. Wish they would turn turque to 1750 (optional) !

 

2013 Cascadia with the Cummins. I wouldn't buy it but for a company truck its very nice.

 

2011 cascadia dd15 pulls nice, very quiet and good mpgs
