New Cascadia vs old

It looks like a freaking transformer. Very un-sexy.

 

Curious too. Does is still earn the nickname "Freightshaker?"

 

They're not really that bad; but, like with any of the newer tractors, the key is to keep up on the maintenance. Get even the smallest little pissant issue fixed ASAP because the newer trucks (even the older Cascadias) have a habit of falling apart real quick if you don't get anal about maintenance issues.

That last sentence pretty much sums up my experience with the Cascadias TBH. Not bad trucks as long as you don't ignore the small stuff.

 

do they still have the windshield leak?

 

I find the ride about the same.

The new interior is better in some ways, not in others.

The microwave shelf is nice. The new cabinet layout makes it feel much more open but I seem to have a bit less storage space. The overhead shelf isn't good for much.

The new dash I could take or leave but the steering controls are better.

My windshield doesn't leak at all though I think @STexan said his has leaked.

The one piece windshield is nice in the winter, better visibility without all the snow building up in the center.

Some don't like fender mirrors but I use them all the time. If you look at one of the new cascadias you'll notice those mirrors are lower than on the previous models. This means they are useless to me unless I raise the seat or lean forward when trying to make use of them.

 

I think those mirrors are adjustable if i remember right. One of mine got hit by england one time.

I like the newer FL's. I dindn't have a problem with leaking but the wipers electrical did have to be fixed on 17. For water leakage. They didn't always work when it rained.

I wouldn't buy a vulva. They're more headache then is necessary.

 

I second that!

Oh, you’re talking about the trucks...
