    Got a 17' DD15 with 776,534 miles on it with no issues at all. We've driven this truck since new and its still running great. Boat anchor?! I think not!

    Hello,
    I drive a 2012 cascadia Dd13 during local work here in L.A

    the engine is a workhorse I haven’t had any issues whatsoever.
    It can haul the 80k gross with out major problem...

    The only downside is while taking off it does take off slow... and i am driving a stick 10 speed...

    i average 7-8 gal. Per mile but i dont always haul heavy.

    Overall, pretty solid trucks

    i would recommend it if your doing local or regional runs...
