    Cascadias are the most expensive so everyone buys them and not the cheaper, higher quality trucks...

    Hey there...30 years ago was just the 1980's and Freightliners were freighshakers then. Late hubby owned one and compared to today's freightshakes they just shake in a different way.

    What have you been smoking ? Our discounted fleet price was over 122 k buying 185 of them ! Never knew there was a big boy transmission , have had 7 to 18 speeds. You want to know the cheapest make ? Read reviews on the paccar models . Over priced junk is over priced junk. We just bought a 2014 Pete, to try some thing out. After checking it out for couple of hours, and short test drive I was happy to return to my shaker! Yeah it was a fleet truck , discounted to just under 187k. Which one you want to sign the check for? We are cash and carry company. Need 185 trucks . Seems like a little price difference , but for what ? Big boy ego ?

    Mega carriers dont pay what you pay for a truck. The ones that do dont buy Cascadias.

    If you want to smooth out the ride significantly, get some dynamic wheel ballancers (Centramatics for instance) and gas shocks. It's a world of difference.

    So lets stir the pot ! Ford f series is the best selling pick ups 35 or 36 years running , must be the worst pile of poo made ? Can not be up to GM's level? Harley is the best selling , out of Indian , Victory , and Harley . So Harley is not worth dragging home, correct . Same logic ! More made and sold , must mean its junk!

    The biggest buyer of Fords is the government. And the people that repair Fords thank you for your continued support.
