    I'd be very interested to learn how Holland is spec'ing their new Cascadia's. Please let us know if you found out.

    I cant believe that they removed the hood mirrors.... I call them school bus mirrors. I wonder if those are optional? I'd REALLY hate to loose those.

    I really do wish that they had been at MATS so that I could get a look at them.

    They're still on there. It just depends how it's spec'd.

    I use my hood mirrors all the time. Gives me more "eyes" on the road and a better overall feel for my environment.

    They help me spot what's on the ground immediately in front of the truck, such as mailboxes, which is pretty much a must for shoehorning into tight spots.

    I'm headed out to Washington now and will probably head back through the barn from there. If so I'll drop in and inquire

    That's not a new thing. My 2015 Cascadia don't have a visor. And I've seen 2014's without one.
