The new cascadia

I've hated the looks of the Cascadia since day one but these new ones look alright.

 

I read an article that said the 2018 Cascadia would be $15,000 more than the Cascadia Evolution which would still be offered for sale.

 

So it's gonna take year when we will start noticing those on road?

 

From what ive read they'll be in production and on the road early 2017.

 

Looks like the Freightliner engineers bought a Volvo and then proceeded to stick "Casdadia" in the seats and sell it as their own.

 

I love how Freightliner likes to talk about engineering, driver comforts, and "listening to drivers," yet still produces a truck with those abortion of a mirrors on their trucks.

By the way how come their advertised new truck doesn't show off those oh so smart new fender mirrors. You think they would be proud of the new design, but I guess not.

 

Mega-spec Freightliners tend to look outdated pretty quick. Time will tell with this one. It looks okay for now.
You'll see a billion of the things on the road, no doubt.
I hope they can improve quality control on the new ones.
My '16: rattles,squeaks, spits a screw on the floorboard from time to time. NONE of the body panels line up. All sleeper doors and drawers are out of whack, some from day one.
Windshield already has mysterious scratches even though I keep new blades on it, and don't run them dry.
Not impressed with Freightliner right now.
Mechanically, just some air leaks, a week in the shop for EGR, and the inverter currently isn't working.

 

You could pay 300k for the fanciest freightliner they can build, and it will still rattle, leak, and within a year or two a couple pieces of plastic will be flapping

 

That statement goes the same for any Manufacture of truck these days.

The Modern Truck is meant to be disposed of after 5-10 years, that's if the engine even lasts that long.

 

Ain't going for Cascadia, Coronado glider maybe.
