and you paid $150k for DT12 equipped 2018 Cascadia with Detroit drive train ?

 

I drive a 2014 freightliner and wish it was as nice as that 18.. I was just trolling.. it looks good driver... like that driver lounge setup also, a lot trucks don’t have nowhere near the stuff it does

 

I'm currently driving a 2016 Cascadia. Paid 147k for it. DD15 I'm looking at adding a truck. The 2018 loaded is 167,xxx.

go to freightliner dealer. put $100 in the pocket of service manager so nobody can see it and ask your chosen truck will be reliable one or not. Buy 2018 Cascadia but buy a truck that will be reliable because you will have big payment bills . Downtime is not acceptable in your case.

 

My 2016 Cascadia was $187,500 a year and a half ago.
But it is heavy spec, DD16 600hp 18 Ultrashift MXP, 46,000lbs rears, heavier frame.

 

Ultrashift was on road more than 12 years. many bags are fixed now but after 600k miles you will call towing service at least once a year unless you have some spare parts with you and you know how to change them. DT12 is different. it's still in process of improvement. Parts are available only at freightliners and detroits. they are expensive. Nobody will touch it . only dealers. ultrashift is well known now and any truck repair shop can fix it..
