    I have a 2015 Cascadia with a visor. It's purely optional but not generally included when you order with the Evolution (aero) package.

    They still offer the visor just depends on how it's specked. My 17 has one I would never order one without it makes the truck look funny.

    My '16 has the visor, hood mirrors, Parksmart, full gauges, full lockers, heated and cooled seats. First time having a Cascadia. I love it.

    The front looks so much better than the previous design...more imposing. I like the inside redesign too, but what really matters is if the emissions system will be more reliable than in the past. The front part above the windshield still looks like a bald mans forehead though. :p

    I climbed in one of our new ones. The dash looks a little bit like a t680 dash, but what got me was the sleeper. It LOOKED like it had more room than the old Cascadia. Perhaps the cabinet redesign did it, but it could have just been an optical illusion. The only thing I didn't like was that the cup holders were much lower and closer to the floor.

    Its pretty with a visor. But one thing i wont like is more $$$$$$$$$$ on the truck itself and problems to come with electronics.
