The new cascadia

I like it.

I currently run a 2015 Cascadia Evolution, and I'm really happy with it. It runs the DD15 motor and a DT12 Automated transmission, and I'm actually impressed with the power, performance, and ease of operation of this rig.

One thing I noticed in the advertisement was the "Detroit Connectivity" feature, including the part about tracking driver habits. I find this to be far more useful while at the same time far less intrusive than a driver facing camera. This system allows a carrier to keep an eye on a driver's performance and safety WITHOUT placing a camera inside the cab actually watching the driver and invading said driver's privacy during down time.

Not real excited about the "adaptive cruise control" or "lane departure warning" systems, due to potential safety issues with both. Really don't need the truck to slam on the brakes unnecessarily, nor do I need beeping and buzzing when I'm changing lanes or rolling through a construction zone with new lines for traffic painted over top of old.

Overall, I like it. Definitely would take one out for a test drive.

 

Looks like the $1500 plastic bumper.

 

Looks like a 150k POS

 

Nothing much but a redesigned interior, mirror and the front plastic. We'll see how the rookies will tear the bumper out when reversing into parking spot or dock.

 

Looks like an illegitimate child of a t660 and a volvo.

 

Wonder the cost of the truck with elite package.

 

Exactly what I thought lol. But, considering that it'll come with a Detroit.... I'll take that over a paccar any day. With that in mind, the best features of KW and Volvo are in there.. This looks pretty good.
