    I like the new bunk area in the 2018 Cascadia. I would definitely go for the elite trim with the single bunk and storage area above.

    The one JCT is getting around thanksgiving will have the double bunk configuration, so no table. Not sure if the color yet.

    I don't have a need for the double bunk, so, if they really wanted me to upgrade next year, the single bunk option and elite trim would be the way to go. Besides, I would technically be paying for it.

    I like everything about the elite trim except the ugly brown/ tan color. I like how the professional trim had those pieces black. Haven't actually looked to see if the elite has different color options.

    As of right now, JCT is not getting any new trucks in 2017.
    The order of 300 Cascadias was it. The new style Cascadia will be number 300 as JCT has already received delivery of 299 of the 17s. So those that are thinking of upgrading next year (2017) altho you may do so, it won't be a brand new truck.

    Of course this is subject to change 2moro depending on what the man that writes the checks decides.

    My truck will have close to 450k on it next summer. If they don't want to get new trucks at that time, whatever, I will pay this one off and trade it in myself. I won't be upgrading to a used truck.

    But like you said, all subject to change.

    So i get to the shipper at 9 last night with a 10pm appointment, place is packed with trucks waiting to get loaded. Go into the shipping office and my load is already waiting. Swap trailers and go to the local walmart to do my 10. Lucky this load was waiting for me and not a live load cuz this dosnt have much time on it. 1560 miles with a 10 am appointment monday morning.
