    All of y'all are spoiled rotten. Try driving Macks,Kenworths, and Petes with camelback susp., chalmers susp. etc. I'm talking some rough riding POS's that have had the stock seats in them for 10 years +.

    I was having my.... sorry for this... Classic worked on yesterday at an FL dealer and was talking to the guys in the service shop. They aren't rightly too impressed with the Cascadia either. In fact, I haven't talked to anyone who drives one who'll tell you it lives up to the billing they're trying to sell it on. I have to agree with you about the seat. I test drove one, and the seat would have been swapped out for something else on the very first day I had it were I to buy one. And, considering the mileage the new trucks DON'T seem to be getting, I think I'll keep looking for a newer Classic or W9 Kdub.

    Thought I would bump this one.

    This truck is a real piece of junk. Best mileage I can get no matter what I do is 6.7. The thing rattles more and more. The ride is real choppy. It has been in for 3 warranty items in 10 months. I talked to another company driver who has had his about a year. Same mileage problem and more warranty issues. His had to be taken to dealer straight from terminal when it was picked up to put into service.

    I would be interested in what other people are finding.
