    I'm sure the answer is "ask'm!", but is there any truth about them being "all 'automatics'"?

    Yes, they are almost 100% automatics.

    Loved my cascadia, I wish freightliner built there trucks here in the U.S but if you were the CEO and could cut production costs by more than 50% you would also do business south of the border. Im not sayin its ok but from a business point (the point is to make profit) it makes sense.

    You are not cutting production costs by 50%. To hell with Mexico and Communist China. Let's put Americans back to work. Need to throw out all the bums out of Washington DC. Put people in that care about Americans not corporations. Just my two cents... make that 4 cents I forgot taxes.

    Mavericks new trucks are all Cascadias with pw/pl lots of gauges to keep you entertained nice cabinets,though smaller some say than Columbias cabinets,very nice air ride seats,inverter,electric apu,automatic 10spd and the newest have the electronic clutch to go along with the automatic so no more roll back when removing foot from brake to accelerator. Down side is the small fuel tanks,due to trying to keep weight down,they are 80gal. These are definitely not stripped company trucks but I wouldnt call them the top of the line either,but they are very nice for company trucks. As for the folks thinkin they arent quality then they need to ride in a Cascadia,these arent the freightshakers of old. I drive a 2007 KW T600 and while its a nice truck,leather and all that,I wouldnt have a problem driving this new Cascadia. You wont be disappointed if you drive one here at Maverick.

    Dan if you ever got out of that KW and into a Cascadia you would feel like a bb in a boxcar.

    Have you driven one? I have and I would say the ride was better than my KW. I however cant say the same about a Columbia. The Cascadia is a wholely redesigned truck and you can tell by riding in one.
