Thanks for putting your time to show us same interior form 2018 cascadia, hope you guys can work something out with now interior and exterior options, it all look boring now.
Except for some trim it’s identical to a 2019, 5 years ago. They need to get more intelligent storage rather than these huge compartments, have smaller ones with shelves
To all those complaining about the storage compartments... Take some measurements and go get some plastic containers that have lids, and put them into the storage compartments. All of your stuff will be organized, and it will be simple to move out of the truck and into a new one whenever the need arises!
After seeing both videos, I must admit that the truck looks exactly like my 2018 cascadia. I am disappointed that they are not communicating with drivers about what they feel will allow them to be comfortable with driving these trucks. They need to step up their game with interior work. The fridge is sitting to low and makes it hard for anyone to get stuff out of the fridge. Also, those storage compartments are horrible, the moment you open it up, things fall out. This is a poor design and they NEED to go back to the drawing board and rethink about driver comfortability instead of making minor adjustments.
Thank you for walk through. Very nice. What transmission/ shifter does it have. Is it the right hand side lever Automatic. What's the difference if you wanted 18 speed. Is that all custom order now.
Do they have different cabinet configurations. If you use a CPAP, where would you place it at night. You need a nightstand cabinet, a flat place behind the driver seat to put thing's.
The Freightliner Cascadia from 2020 to 2023 is hands-down the best design for the driver on the interior by far, I've driven many other truck and I tell you what nothing compares to the Cascadia
As an european truckdriver i can say that i see a lot of Mercedes truck switches and levers steeringwheel buttons etc. As some interior parts are shared with MAN and Mercedes too. Unfortantly they are considerd to be the lowest quality and durability products in the industry. Every driver in Europe knows that they fail relativly quick. It looks like the materials used in the chairs are similar too as is the design as well. Also these fabrics wear and tear relativly quick. Some trucks where these materials are used in dont last longer then 250.000 miles. I wouldnt be surprised the engine technology is similar with Mercedes and those are also made with the focus on milage per gallon. Im am not impressed and foresee this truck not lasting very long and frustrate the driver with a lot of broken interior parts and a overal bad driving experience. Gas milage is not the most important thing in a truck. Its the driver that feels well and stays healthy.
I believe the engines are US made - the DD13, 15 and 16. Its possible some technology is used from MB. After all Freightliner and Western Star are part of the Daimler group. I wish Scania made officially some trucks for the US with decent support. Btw Im kinda surprised to hear that MAN has low quality stuff. Usually Scania, MAN and Volvo were the benchmark.
Looking to get one like that any options any idea every dealership I’m calling forget about truck they’re not even taking order don’t want used truck thanks in advance
what is the average lifespan (mileage) of a Cascadia in the 2020+ range? Can an engine rebuild extend the lifespan significantly? Or is there a cliff that most trucks of this sort will fall off and need to be retired? Lastly what do you think of buying Long Haul routes?
Dear people, the interior, especially the dashboard, is exactly like the one from Mercedes Benz in Europe, aged, the buttons, the steering wheel, the clocks on the dashboard. I can't understand why they don't collaborate with other companies like Scania or MAN, I think it would have a very big impact
The steering column controls, shifter and wipers, is obscured by the steering wheel webs. The windshield pillars/door frame in combination with the bulky design of the side mirrors create a terrible blind spot on both sides. The cruse control is not true cruse control. Set on sixty-five climbing an upgrade, after reaching the top and the load is off it goes into coast at the present speed way under sixty-five. The truck lunges while in reverse when ally docking. I'm told it's a common problem with Eaton automatics. Between Freightliner and my company the truck is so detuned I've done twenty-three miles an hour in a seventy mph zone up a mountain pulling forty thousand pounds. The HAVC vents in both bunks are almost level with the mattresses. No controls for anything in the top bunk. The Carrier APU HVAC blower motor is very loud on high. Both vents service the bottom bunk and floor, which makes it many degrees hotter for the top bunk. The duct work for the higher vent is four inch flex and just run through the tall cabinet. When the top bunk ladder is down it prevents the person in the bottom bunk from getting out. Most surface's are textured so any stick-on accessories don't stick. The collision alert and automatic breaking does activate with nothing in front of me, yes the recall was done on it, still does it. The following distance alert is constantly flashing and beeping because a seven second following distance doesn't happen in the real world. Regardless of what the desk engineers think. The "in windshield" CB antenna is terrible, but it saves a pint of fuel in a year not being a mounted one. This truck is designed by and sold to, people who don't drive,(fleet purchases). I give this truck one star out of five.
so im ok with the low fridge bc im not a fat tub of lard. but the under storage is worthless i would have rathered being able to lift the bottom bunk and have a nice empty space and use top bunk or something for sleeping. space is the key here
Freightliner really dropped the ball on some key driver comforts like high mount fridges.. Who wants to get on their hands and knees to load fridge or get something out of it.. Definitely fleet series truck.. Not an owner operator truck for sure..
Thanks for the walkthrough. Love the exterior. They did a good job. Not so much with the interior. Not a fan of the dash. Looks dated already. Userful I am sure but looks more like your driving a van than a semi truck. Not sure what it is that makes a semi truck dash look like it belongs in a semi but I do know that is not it. At least for me. They sell a TON of those so other people must like it. Maybe they want that car like feel.. Thanks for the video! That was a really good review.
Its basicly all Mercedes truck interior parts used for these trucks as well. They are really bad quality and wont last long. This looks to me all focus is on max profit and use of materials that will fail just after warranty runs out. In Europe all company's are ditching Mercedes trucks because after 300.000 miles or so the interior is worn out!
Man a lot of people whining things are the same. Ya'll realize trucks typically run on a 6-10 years update cycle. It wouldn't be financially smart to come out with a new model/design on a rapid pace. Good thing you don't drive a long hood, those haven't changed a bit in 20 years.
Freightliner is about quantity not quality. They push the numbers of because they are fleet trucks. Owner operators, Petes/KWs and Volvos are a better choice.
@@lalolbc no, doesn't work like that anymore. My truck will run a little while longer, maybe 20 minutes, but it will still shut off regardless of which knob is in or out.
These things are like a never ending nightmare nothing really changes if you take a tour of these over the years very little changes .I know for a fact they been given request and feedback on how and what needs to improve but they keep it basic and unchanged for the maga carriers since they are their bread and butter what a shame! I am in a 21 right now but it will be my last.for me it's time to move on I am thinking kw or intertrashional anything but another prison cell

The design of the ladder is really stupid. It’s bolted to the bottom of the upper bunk and hangs down right in the way. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve hit my head on that thing. They could learn from Peterbilt. Their ladders fold up into the frame of the upper bunk so there’s nothing to hit your head on.
When these are going for 200k the manufacturers need to step up their game. This is horrendous use of space. Same truck as before with small additions. Pathetic.
This truck looks cheap and those plastic buttons leevers etc will not last! All it has is high milage per gallon. It favors the owner and not the driver. After 300.000 miles you gonna need to replace so much interior parts its not worth it.
So still the same piece of shit as always. Does it come with the excellent Delphi stereo that freezes and no longer reacts to drive input until you cut battery power?
Those seat adjusters are the WORST. Everytime I come back with a drink and lean over my seat to put it into the cup holder, one of the buttons will depress. Awful design.
@@acecarter1717 If i see a volvo behind me, I already know that truck is going to pass me eventually unless its raider express. Volvo people even hold up traffic to pass a car or truck at 0.05 mph difference

Bro all these videos are are updated videos lol
Never going to happen, that starts with the approach to seats, and bucket seat design for truck driving is imbecilic.
Just as I thought, nothing has changed in at least 5 years, nothing except the price. Did a Cascadia break $ 200,000 ?
I know every year they pretend the truck is different, lol. Well you have to give him props for trying 👏
@@StarDark4 I would love to how much more expensive this truck is compared to a 2022?

I would never work for company has camera on the driver.
Thank you for walk through. Very nice. What transmission/ shifter does it have. Is it the right hand side lever Automatic. What's the difference if you wanted 18 speed. Is that all custom order now.

Are there restraints on the upper bunk so that each team driver can have their own bed?
Yes
didn't get the digital cockpit, unfortunate, would be a good bonus in a fleet truck, but I get it.
Bra Cascadias are phenomenal trucks not too much not too little and thats coming from a 10 year trucker
Agreed!
They come in manual transmission?
Thanks
