    Just ask them for CURRENT pics of the unit you want.
    Get the maintenance records..they may tell you they can't get them but they will if you push hard enough.
    The key is to be happy with what you lease/buy..it's a HUGE decision.
    In other words don't settle.
    If you're on the fence lease a FL Cascadia with nothing down and run to see if it's for you.
    If not stick it out for a year and turn it in..walk away.

    As for the Evo's with the auto..I wish you guys luck.
    Hopefully they wont let you down..they are new tech and computerized up the yang.
    When they break you're stuck hard.

    I'll be watching..cause somewhere down the road I'd like one.

    Na, I don't feel like I'm running an experiment, the DT12 is near perfect, they been running in Europe for awhile and a year or so here. It to me is just an outstanding piece of engineering! I enjoy driving even more with this truck.

    I agree the DT 12 is awesome . I have figured out how to do perfomperformance mode yet but Economy and Manual work great ...

    Creep mode has no lag backing under trailers etc ...

    Love it and love driving it

    7.8 today but 20mph head wind and 44,100 in the box . Still preformed very well I think it would easily hit 8.5 with this load had the cold front not been coming through today or should I say artic blast.

    They actually had one KW with a auto in GB and a Pete also didn't pay much attention to them but over heard the shop. Guys talking about them .

    The KW used I've saw in GB .. I was told they had allot of Electronic Problems . Not sure. But you get a bad truck in every batch . I'd definetly ask questions and get serial numbers to track warranty work etc ...
