If i was you that red Cascadia would have been off the lot already...but it has alot of miles
slowlulu Thanks this. -
I would go with the Cascadia as well. The Columbias are on the low end of the Freightliner series (some insulation, cheepest truck they make). Cascadia series truck are supposed to be the improved version of the Century.
slowlulu Thanks this. -
Never buy a cat engine with a DPF attached to it. You will regret it. I wouldn't buy any of these, but if I had to choose, I'd go with the cascadia ... These truck years generally sucked with DPF problems, but after reading Rawze's thread about the cummins cm871, it seems that a cummins motor/emissions system if maintained the way he shows in the youtube videos, it should perform decent ... I hate to say it, but it looks like volvo is the only one with the emissions figured out ...
dustinbrock and slowlulu Thank this. -
none they are all 10 speeds with high gears . If you run very light the cascadia is good otherwise you will be disappointed with a low power engine on the 9/10 shift
slowlulu Thanks this. -
I would get the white one if that is a cat c15 motor, but ask em if the rockers have been changed in the head as some of the cats run the weaker rockers in em, mine did and had em replaced at 600k even though they didn't have to be but if one breaks you looking at a big bill
slowlulu Thanks this. -
Also keep in mind that the Columbias tend to have been used by the bottom feeder trucking companies with drivers whom that was probably the truck they learned on. So the Columbia's probably have had YEARS of neglect!
slowlulu Thanks this.
