    Why not get one Freightliner and one Volvo? Diversification is always the best.

    The Volvo is a much better built truck....I have driven both and one was a brand new Cascadia...
    The Cascadia had more room but drove like a tank....rough ride and the seat broke at 30k....

    The Volvo i'm in now rides like a dream.....super quite with hardly any wind noise and the XE package has very good seats.

    you said volvo xe with a isx 455.... did you mean the d13 455? does volvo offer the isx in the xe package with the ishift? I didn't think they did.

    I have a xe16 and love it.

    My question doesn't have as much to do with the trucks as with the lease, how many miles do you run a year per truck?

    Reason I asked was we leased a Volvo through Idealease, for 6 months and for the mileage we run (appox. 150,000 per year) it was out of the question expensive compared to buying the truck outright.

    Just wondering if there is that much difference in the leases, or do you just not run as many miles as we do?

    Thanks Stan

    I have alwways hated Cascadias but the 2015 Evolution has a smooth ride. Even under heavy load I can leave it in the top gear without downshifting when climbing a hill. I am also getting 7.5 mpg with it.
