    Hey everyone,
    I was considering switching over to a cascadia and i was curious about how it drove and what the interior was like. If anyone has drove one, would you consider it?

    I am driving a 2012 Cascadia. It's ok I suppose, it wouldn't be my first choice if I was buying one, but that's more personal taste than any actual mechanical difference.

    What kind of truck are you driving now? Give us something to compare to so we can tell you some of the differences.

    They're basic as the Columbia. Go with a pro star over the cascadia but Cummins power.

    I never had a chance to get into anything other than Frieghtliners. I really liked my Cascadia. It was quiet inside, handled very well. The steering wheel fit my hand like a glove. If your coming from a Century then it will be like driving a Cadillac in comparison.

    Cascadia is one of the best choices out here.

    If I had my pick of anything, it would probably be a Kenworth T700, mainly because of the luxurious interior. The Cascadia isn't bad really, but very plain, cut and dry. If I was going to get to choose, Kenworth wins the interior contest in my opinion. But every person is different.

    She still hasn't said what truck she is switching from, so we can't make a comparison yet.

    There are so many variables to consider. Freightliner s dearlershs and warranty repair shops have the best hours of operation compared to any manufacturer. That would normally mean less down time when you do break down. Fuel mileage would make the cascadia as good if not better than the rest depending on its set up and your driving ability. Storage space is another area it excels in. Having owned one as well as a number of other model trucks it's is a good choice.
