The freightliner cascadia in my opinion hands down the best interior design out of all trucks
Guy is speaking the truth here. Appreciate you watching, hope you’ll subscribe and let me know what else you wanna see videos of! Have a cool one of the 49X, if you haven’t seen it yet give it a watch👍
I agree
Yeah if you love breathing in microplastics
I had this package. I now have a VNL860. No offense but Volvo blows freightliner away in quality of the build. Probably because it’s built in the US compared to freight liner that’s built in Mexico. After a couple of years the plastic parts on the mirror falls off. The side skirting comes loose and will fall off if driving in high winds. And the paint starts chipping even nothing has hit it. I’ve had the drivers seat come apart and the seat covers start coming apart only after about a year of getting the truck brand new. On the screen behind the wheel a common issue is it freezes up when your driving. They are pretty much glorified Android tablets.
What ‘package’? I’ve not heard of any of those issues ever happening. Did you maintain your truck? What year model year was it with the digital dash?
Looking forward great 👍 truck 👍👍👍🇦🇺so Beautiful colour
Thanks man! Wasn’t my choice but I dig the metallic with the brightwork. Someone is gonna enjoy it and turn heads!
Pretty darn cool . . .
Thank you!! Happy buyer! Subscribe for more - thanks for watching!
I'm sorry I'm old school, my Freightliner Cascadia had in that same Dash broad, also had a camera build in on the Blind side,you would be able to see the vehicle while driving or parked you would still be able to see whoever around your truck, so put that in there, I guarantee everyone would Love your truck, because it's the same truck every year, thank you, I really love Freightliner Cascadia trucks🎉😊❤ thank you for your show 🎉
Appreciate the input sir! I’m just the salesman, I spec’d a couple of these in different colors for a local customer and they are loving them so far. Freightliner gets heat for the old ‘shaker’ reputation, but I say it honestly - call it bias, if you want - they are the most well-built, competitively priced, and most reliable trucks on the road. Lowest cost/mile and greatest network of service centers, when problems inevitably arise. They’ve all got their problems, of course, but I believe in this product - or I wouldn’t be selling it. Thank you, sir, stay safe out there and best of luck to you with everything 🫡🫡
Are the LED head lights heated for winter driving. I love the reliability of the Cascadia mid-roof for hauling a tanker.
Hey thanks for asking! Not heated on the Cascadia, but the Stars do have heated lenses. I can figure out something for you though, when we get one ordered for ya 😎 happy to hear yours is going well for you, they really are great trucks 💪
Hey Sam. How ya doin? It’s Great to see your doing some Videos like this. Can you do one on a truck with the bunk dinette and Mirrorless adaption??
Month ago, I bought a brand new 2024 Cascadia. From 1st day, digital screens are not working properly ( settings are not staying in memory. Every time, I must adjust settings after starting the engine ). Android auto play, power inverter stopped working in the first week. The power steering pump and ABS got to fix in the second week. In cold weather, have big temperatures difference between the driver and passenger side plus have water leak from roof. In one month, my truck already had 3 warranty repairs. For ABS, I got to pay $1000 . Freightliner will install new digital screens, BUT screens are not available, and they don't have any idea when they will be able to fix it. Water leak and temperature issue they are not able to find.
Water leaks are a big problem in cascadia, i had experienced with it.
That sounds incredibly frustrating, and I sympathize, but I’ve not seen the problems with it. Granted I’ve only delivered one truck with the digital dash - but it hasn’t had any issues, with the screen or anything else. This will be the second. Having a dealer group that has your back is very important during the difficult times. If you can ever make it to a Truck Center Companies dealership (MN, IA, NE, and KS), and you’re in need of a solution, please feel free to call my cell (number in the video) and I’ll do anything I can to help get you taken care of and back on the road. I wish you the best, otherwise, and hope the truck issues settle and it can perform better for you.
The problem is, with the Cascadia being the number 1 truck sold and on the road, they mass produce them at a high rate so the quality isn't thoroughly checked the same way a Peterbilt or even Western Star would be, even though Western Star is owned by Freightliner. It's all about getting them out of the factory ASAP. I love the Cascadia and they clearly have some nice features but foe the extra money, I'd stick with the Peterbilt 579 and a Cummins engine. The "DD" is garbage compared to the old 60 Series. The 579 has everything you want and need while still getting the same fuel mileage but the 579 is bigger and ALOT more comfortable. It'd definitely worth the extra money.
on my peterbilt 579 same think brand new roof leak a little
Well, FRTL and WST are built in the same factory, and come off the line sporadic - you might have a M2 come off the line, followed by a Cascadia day cab, followed by a 49X, and maybe a 108SD after that. They’re all inspected the same. Mishaps will happen - and it’s an egg on their face every time. But see the comment above where the guy said his new Pete had a leaky roof. I feel horrible for customers when that happens, and I’ll always go to bat for them; which sadly is the best I can do, to be totally honest - our dealership is a customer of the OEMs too. Our dealership does great with customer service - better than any other I’d say. I hear what you’re saying, but comparing to perfect is silly, when they all have flaws. I am happy to hear your Pete has made you happy - it’s good when others succeed. But, if you’re ever in the area, stop in. I’ll show you a few things, you show me some things you like on yours, and we’ll both be better from it in the end. Appreciate you watching, hope you’ll subscribe, and would love to shake hands someday 🤝👍
Cool truck 👍👍
Thanks Eric! Subscribe and let me know what you’d like to see in future videos. Anything you wanna learn about, I’ll do some research and shoot a video about it. Early on in this, so I’m open to different avenues of content👍
Where we can get them ? And do they have orange color or red color??
Final price for this package...?
What is the price for this truck and is that space for a dorm fridge ?
1:25 What do you mean whit the exhaust pipe do you have the engine on idle for the whole night when you guys sleep in the truck?
I don’t sleep in the truck, I spec’d it as the driver doesn’t like the odor of the exhaust when opt idle intermittently runs the engine throughout the night
@@MidwestBestHDTrucks Don't you have auxiliary diesel heaters on your trucks in usa? That warms the cab and the engine?
Yes, most have Espar. But Opt Idle starts the truck if batteries run low, if outside temp is extremely cold/hot (runs cabin AC that way too) or if you want to maintain a coolant temp (block heater effect, without needing access to outside 110v)
Super nice feature for a wide variety of reasons. I’ll cover it in a video this week 👍
Let me know if you have questions, or have a topic in mind you’d like covered in a future video. Thanks for watching. Hope you’ll subscribe!
Can you get different configured sleeper cabinets? Like if you use a CPAP machine, where would you put it. Need something like a nightstand behind the driver seat. Like in the Coronado had
Yes sir, there is a CPAP provision that can be spec’d that essentially makes certain there is adequate power to the CPAP outlet throughout the night, and allows for installing the machine conveniently.
@@MidwestBestHDTrucks I'm not talking about a power outlet. You need a place to sit your CPAP machine itself like a nightstand. Not open the cabinet door and put it in there
@@richarddavis4928 if you look at the tower, you'll see there is an obvious cubby you can put your little machine in.. did you even look?
Adaptive cruise control sucks !,,
Then we’ll order yours without it 👍 Customer wanted it spec’d that way so he got it. That’s how we do things🫡
Mine has an X15 loved it
Very happy to hear that!
I’m thinking of buying one with x15 in it
2024 Freightliner x15 Cummins
How’s your truck running ?
I heard you should Detroit engine if you buying Freightliner
I’m just really beating around to find out what should I do??
Could you help me buddy ??
As a company driver I prefer peterbilt seat comfort ride quality is very important . Freightliner is straight backbraker seat and ride especially daycab! they do seem to need less maintenance . Truck needs digital dash and a manual transmission
It’s very nice truck I like this truck ❤
Appreciate the comment!! More of these to come, and if you want something specifically covered let me know - I have fun doing these. Subscribe and let me know what you want to see next👍👍
You got cool videos but you need to get more familiar with the product specs…this engine is not turbo compounded.
Hey thank you sir. And you are correct. Slip of the tongue. DD16 uses turbo compounding. Appreciate the correction🤙
Красота 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Why is the stereo so quiet with the digital dash
Looks years behind the 2024 VNL with the Murphy bed.
I test drove an early Cascadia with rack and pinion steering.
Got back to the dealer and didn"t even waste my time talking numbers.
Finished my career with Volvos.
21:37
Wrong. Can get a Murphy bed/dinette in Cascadia if you want, but this guy wanted this setup. Also, Freightliner is the only OEM to offer Lane Keep Assist; which includes the secondary steering gear allowing a guy to spin the wheel with a pinky while stationary. Nobody else has anything like it. Freightliner/wst DOMINATE the competition
@@MidwestBestHDTrucks Look at the new video showing the new VNL with the super big grill.
It has a murphy bed/dinette and the bed tilts up to read.
Power window shades, wireless charging pad. Pretty sure it had lane assist.
I was thinking if this guy is this excited to be selling that Cascadia Thank God he's not selling the new Volvo. He'd probably have a coronary!!!
Long as you believe in what you sell you'll do fine.
Hello there whenever I get ready to buy, I will be contacting you. You have very good product I see
Would love to help. New freightliner or western star, or anything used of course. Subscribe and save my number - thanks for watching!
What's the horse power and torque? What size fuel tanks?
Did 475/1650 on this one. If a guy goes over 485hp or 1750ft/lbs the warranty gets a little more spendy. This, with 2.79 rears (and direct drive transmission) gets good startability/speedability and maintains 7.2mpg so far pulling reefer
Has the exterior on the Cascadia changed at all from the first-generation Cascadia?
Yes.
I'm still looking for clean freightliner Columbia Glider Kit.
Would a Coronado glider do the trick?
Thinking of buying one 2024 Freightliner with x15 Cummins
Could you help me buddy ??
I heard both good and bad things for Cummins and Detroit in Freightliner
Happy to help. Obviously people love Cummins because they’ve always been able to get them - but that’s part of the issue with them in my opinion, they’ve really not made any significant improvements. Also, many Cummins guys may have had 60-series but never had DD15 (or any DD motor past the 60) - so they’ll defer to Cummins based on simply not wanting to ‘take a chance’. But go with Detroit; better design (in my opinion), better warranty, and the Freightliner is built for them (same parent company, DTNA) ; so you have any option you want for adaptive cruise, active braking (even in traffic - very handy), lane keep assist, and so much more. With Freightliner you’re limited on features if you go Cummins, and there are virtually no advantages to Cummins. They only offer it to capture Cummins-loyal guys that are dipping their toes in Freightliner/Western Star - and almost all of those guys eventually transition to Detroit. Hope that helps. Call anytime though if I can help you 👍
Got the same interior setup mines just have brown
Nice truck
Thanks for watching, Kelly! Let me know what you’d jus to see in future videos👍
I'd like to see a 2024 manuel freightliner cascadia
Copy that - hard to find new ones with manual transmissions, but the next one that I get I’ll shoot a video of it. Subscribe so you don’t miss it. Prize drawing for subscribers coming up at the end of the month. Fat gift box with merch and gift cards ready to be sent out at the end of February for 2 lucky subscribers👍👍
What is an owner op spec?
Opposite of fleet spec. A truck that has the ‘bells & whistles’ as opposed to a stripped down base spec.
But a booth table configuration for the bottom bunk. We wanna sit somewhere other than front seats !!!!
the layout is the same from the 2020, The digital dash wire harness has itsits issues.
I had the murphy bed configuration with the table.
That’s what I’d do with the sleeper configuration if I were to order one my way. And the digital dash (since you’re being sincere unlike others) - I’ll be honest; I’d wait a year or two to see how they do. But this customer was excited for the new tech and wanted to reward his drivers. I have had no issues with digital dashes in units I’ve sold, though, to be clear. Thank you for commenting, please feel free to subscribe and let me know what you’d like to see next 👍
Do you have it like that but, in red.
Put some black and white checkering on it with the word "TAXI".
I always wondered how can one custom order one and furthermore be able to get financing
We’re excellent at this, it’s what we do. Thank you for asking. Our business manager has almost 30 years of experience with lining guys up with financing after they’re done building their spec with me. Our knowledge with spec’ing and ability to line buyers up with the most well-suited finance packages is unmatched. Cost of ownership on something new like this, overall, often beats buying used. Not a joke. The ability to calculate operating expenses, an accurate cost/mile, and optimizing trade cycles eliminates many headaches and maximizes growth potential.
@@MidwestBestHDTrucks My other question is does credit has to be perfect to do something like this?? And what about down payment I’m guessing it must be a lot ..
@@czaz00 There are many, many factors, of course. But I'd love to have the chance to have the discussion. You see my number, at the end of the video. Give me a shout if you're serious about it and we'll do everything we can to assist
When when cascadia gonna make better steps on the sides to climb on top of frame and better HWY horn
Good question. There are a several factory options for frame-mounted steps, grab handles, and deck plate configuration; along with several ways to configure trailer hoses, electrical connections, and even prep-options for wet kit hydraulic fittings.
No way any company I’d gonna upgrade and get the touch screen radio lol we’re all gonna get screwed with that DEA 500 which has the weather blasting the second you start up
We’ve sold several units with the touch screen and not a single one has had an issue.
Redesign is on its way
Elaborate…
@@MidwestBestHDTrucks New grille and headlights. Found a spyshot of a prototype on a trailer on FB.
@@TellurideS13 I’ve seen that. They already publicized it on the eCascadia. It’s not going to happen in the Cascadia til at least 2028 I’m predicting. Probably more like 2030/2032. It looks good though.
Hola amigo te falto mas iluminación al video del interior
No gear shift; no APU unit; no Light kit. Need horsepower and torque, a Cummins would be nice too.
No thanks. I'll stick with my older one.👍
Fair enough! Subscribe and I’ll have a video this week that you’ll like. Gonna go visit an old school owner/op with a few restored 90’s Shakers he’s gonna be selling. Looking forward to it, hope you’ll check it out. Happy new years, sir!🎉
Why don't they put bigger fridges in these unities? Is it because they know we won't be shopping as much to save money? They expect us to cram 3 to 4 weeks of food in a 2x2 cubby hole?
You can put any refrigerator you’d like in these, they come prepped with a platform, strap to secure the unit, and convenient outlet. The reason this customer selected this fridge, under my advisement, was due to the factory swivel TV mount. This way he could fit his 26” flat panel tv, positioned above the refrigerator (but still able to swivel) without blocking the window on the RH wall, and the large baggage door it’s fixed within.
Looks like freightliner just stuffed a tablet into the cluster provision. No self canceling turn signals. Can't leave engine brakes on when you turn on cruise. No hood mirrors
Soon all those engine lights will come on and not go off.
Displays, wheel, buttons, ports. All from Mercedes Benz
Freightliner has nothing to do with Mercedes-Benz anymore. DTNA branched out from Daimler AG almost 2 years ago. Neither the steering wheel controls, or the digital dash, have not been out that long. Matter of fact it even rides nicer and looks better than any S or C Class out there.
@@MidwestBestHDTrucksBut they look the same 😄 even the display is the same. Just soft design looks different. Wheel is also same like on new Actros
@@user-ve2bo2yc6sActually is from the older Actros
It's like mp4 Actros from arround 2012...that's old tech not new😂😂😂
When did I claim MP4 was ‘new technology’? Do you have a timestamp?
Can't beat VNL 2014
Claims it's O/O spec, but doesn't have the battery APU system installed. 🤣
No park smart system?😳
Not on this one. Customer that ordered it isn't a fan; they like the Opt Idle system, at least for the time being, and will potentially put on a TriPac they tell me. Thanks for watching, sir. Let me know if there is a model of Western Star/Freightliner that you'd like to see a video of, or a topic of any sort. Have a blessed weekend
I need some trucks
Give me a call anytime. Number is at the end of every video and in the description! Happy to see if we have, or have access to, whatever you need👍

Going great! How you doing, sir??

All that shoe shine to sit broke down on side of the road or in a shop😂😂😂😂
What are you talking about?
@@MidwestBestHDTrucks Cascadias are junk thats what he means lol we know, most of us have driven s crappy cascadias.
@@nasheemwhye5197 u ok?
@@MidwestBestHDTrucks Are you okay? you act like a delicate flower who pedals are easy to knock off you're so easy to offend, who feels they have to respond to everything someone says when there's some criticism about your brand that you hand no hand in it's creation, look at how you respond to everyone who got something negative to say about your inferior product, you lack professionalism you're a fan boy so we get it but we are truckers who have experienced these trucks first hand I've been driving nearly fifteen years and in that time frame I've had my fair share of experience with cascadias this is the truck I've driven for maybe 80 percent of my career I've even owned two believe it or not these are biggest POS semi ever after maxxforce pro stars their junk.
No Tks I’m Volvo 860 comfort and so much space
To each his own / I have a guy picking up a Cascadia this morning, who is getting out of an 860
Wheres the the 5th release?? for all the $$$ U want for this Freightliner and no in cab 5th release.
Customer didn’t want it. When you buy a brand new truck, you get to decide how it’s spec’d. Brilliant question, though..!
I am already outside cranking down the landing gear. Why do you want to replace it with something that can break?
He said long life 400 to 500 thousand miles and you’ll need to replace the engine. 🤣
Wrong.
I really enjoyed a great laugh watching this garbage!!
No Apu? Not optioned up in my mind😮
Did you spec an APU on your new 2024?
I think Cummins could beat Detroit Diesel as far as reliability
Meh. It’s a hit and miss on both engine platforms. You can get a lemon x15 or dd15 or you can get a good one. X15 is generally better but dd15 is cheaper to maintain.
True but I think the fuel economy with the x-15 would be slightly better not like it matters when you're towing a 500000 pound trailer
Good luck dd15
Not true. Like guy above said, lemons happen. But Detroit stands behind their product for a longer duration.
Do you have any actual reason to think Cummins > Detroit, or is it emotional - like your buddy’s buddy had one that broke down once?
Cummins more reliable, better for cold weather. I’ve always had better heat coming from Cummins then dd15. But imo Cummins is rock solid compared to
I like to sit higher in the seat and the safety crap in the windshield is a safety Hazzard to me it annoys the hell out if me.
Always an option to spec without it, it is not required; and there are nice seat options 👍
The old saying holds true. You can’t polish a turd.
I don’t disagree with that statement. But how is it relevant here?
@MidwestBestHDTrucks I think what he's saying is despite all of the fancy tech features, beautiful exterior paint and chrome finishes it's still a "Freightshaker" Nevertheless, i'm happy with mine.
Very happy to hear you’re pleased with yours. But yeah, I know, I’m just talking past the cynicism.. thank you for speaking up. Hope you’ll subscribe. Let me know if you’d like a certain topic covered in a future video; kinda just started this and I’m open to ideas for content👍
@@MidwestBestHDTrucks At the end of the day, it’s a Freightliner. As someone who’s delivered these trucks from the factory and been in trucking for over 35 years, the fit and finish and overall quality of these trucks is at the complete bottom of the pile. To pay $190k for that thing compared to a T680 that you could easily get for the same price is silly.
You will pay at least $20k more for a T680 and have a longer lead time. Once you do get it, and cut the exorbitant check, you’ll immediately realize fit & finish is inferior to Cascadias.
Not impressed
Explain?
Facts
The VNL bunk hands down only downfall that just suxs is find a shop that will touch my old gurl
Can’t afford it 😂😂😂
Dude you bouncing the camera around at 40MPH is making me seasick. Move slower take more getting the right shot. Put together some show notes or que cards and your presentation will flow better. You have a beautiful product for a lucky owner operator take time and put together a quality presentation that represents a quality product.
appreciate the suggestions👍 New to the RUclips thing. Been selling these for a few years, and just started doing these vids a couple weeks ago. I’ll get better at it, keep watching. Let me know if there is any Freightliner/Western Star models you’d like to see a video of, or any specific component/part. Not sure where this will go, but very surprised at the viewership so far. ✌️merry Christmas! 🎄
man nothin changed at all since 2017 😂
You didn’t watch the video?
@@MidwestBestHDTrucks i did. only thing diff is what, a digital dash?
Surface level take… More to a truck than the dash and seats.. electronic architecture, engine updates, transmission updates, axle updates…. The things that actually matter
@@MidwestBestHDTrucks bruh is a cascadia! trash ass trucc all tha way around. just good enough to get tha job done if ur luccy. if not a money pit on plastic made to break parts
Wrong. Half of the words in your comment is spelled wrong; the rest of it either didn’t make sense or was flat out incorrect.
From Mercedes Actros
Freightshaker
FreightSHAKER > PederStilt
NO APU BUDDY. that shouldn't be an option for additional money. It should be already built on the truck!
Should? According to whom?
No APU???.Good for Penske lease program when business gets better
I'd rather push my peterbilt than to drive that pos.
Well, that’s a new one..! To each their own, I suppose. Can I ask how you calculate that to be strategically more beneficial to bottom line?
@MidwestBestHDTrucks where to start. I owned 2 freightliners w/ Detroit power. Neither one made more than 600k before they both sank liners.
So much flex in the bodies that caused interior plastics to loosen and break constantly.
I've got a t660 with the cummins. 1.2 million miles, never been opened up except to adjust top end. Still original clutch. My 587 peterbilt w/ cummins is at 1.6 million. It has had a rear main seal and front structure resealed. My 389 is at 640k w/ cummins. Not a single drip anywhere.
I'm sure some have good luck with the freightliner, but I'm not one of them.
@@donmunro144 I can understand a lemon leaving a guy with a sour taste. But the ‘Freightshaker’ reputation FTRL gave themselves in the nineties/early ’00s, is a thing of the past. They’ve come a long ways. Have a guy in here ordering a new Cascadia - trading in a 579. It’s all preference, but I see guys moving from Pete’s to FRTL/WST almost every day. Look at the numbers and you’ll see it too. People feel betrayed by Paccar for how they were treated during COVID, be it the pricing or availability. They gouged hard, and that’s not opinion. I hate using the word gouge because it’s usually uttered out of self-pity. In this case, I pity guys that depended on them. But I also respect a guys choice. I’ll leave you with this - I hope your business thrives in whatever you run, but if you ever want to look at one of these I’d be more than happy to talk.

Expensive to fix disk brake!! Owner operator edition??? Lol
How much does it cost to ‘fix’ disc brakes, exactly?
@@MidwestBestHDTrucks fairly expensive than drum brake which is commonly used. Most shop can fix drum brake right away while it takes some time to fix disk brake. This can not be owner operator choice. I do not know about future. But, it is not cost effective approach now.
You worship freightliner so much. But, it is totally corrupted company in my opinion. Nobody trust plastic front bumper for instance. Once, deer hit it, it costs thousands of dollars to repair. But, truck manufacturers are careless to put up plastic bumper for making additional service dollars obviously. why dont you put up deer guard bumper up front as owner operator edition? that is the way to go today. who can afford over 10% financing loan? their engine start/stop AC system breaks down easy, and cosume too much battery juice. We have jump started so many times for freightliner truck. Yes, they introduce lots of new technology to truck. But, they use truck drivers to do duarability test at their pocket money. And, it is very annoying on top of over 200k price tag!
not a back up camera
What?
Well thats stupid. Rt side fuel tank filler half way down on side but left side all the way to back. Won’t work with short fuel hoses .
How do you figure?
I got a 2024 Cascadia with the same design. Nearly 10k miles and that hasn't been a problem.

Could you help me buddy ??
I heard both good and bad things for Cummins and Detroit in Freightliner
You can! In the one we order for you! Just not wise in my opinion
your DETAILER should pick the rocks out of the tires if you are going to showcase, in your words, "this beautiful truck"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Yeah alright
The digital dash is out of Mercedes Europe truck.
Freightliner has nothing to do with Mercedes anymore.
omg digital dash, OMFG ... cheap stuff presented as luxury . OMFG finally
How is it cheap? Freightliner/Western Star are the only OEMs that offer full digital dash. First in the industry, as they are with most things - that are then copied by Paccar and built with half the quality & sold for twice the price.
@@MidwestBestHDTrucksNo they dont paccar had the full digital display before freightliner lol.
@@nasheemwhye5197 wrong again. Paccar doesn't have a B-panel digital display like this. They have a dumb little screen, but is not interfaced with chassis or cc unit like this. you're spiraling bro
@@MidwestBestHDTrucks Bro you’re cherry picking arguments of course they wouldn’t have the same screen if it’s two different manufacturers with different trucks this isn’t a apples to apples, so that wasn’t the argument the argument is who had a full digital display to market first and it was paccar they had the full digital display since 2018 in the T680, hurricane transport was on of the first companies with the new body style 579 that comes standard with a full digital display they had these tractors since 2019, freightliner didn’t get digital display until like 2020/21 if you weren’t biased and really studied whole heartedly and honestly you would know this.
@@nasheemwhye5197 still don’t know what a B-panel is?
99 out of 100 single truck o/o buying this truck will go out of business and file for bankruptcy protection before the calendar year is out.... this is a fact.
Where did you get that statistic? Please share.
How much did you get paid by Freightliner to make this video? Those "perfect" digital stcreens are faulty AF.
I’ve never seen one break. Have you?
Frieght Shakers have the worst ride. Nobody's excited to get a new Crapcadia. 😮
Really 😮 ....rather have a Peterbilt!
Tell us why, I’m curious. Thanks for watching 👍👍
Missing a power plant for ac 🤷♂️💩
What are you talking about?
Still just a big chunk of plastic not like the frieghtliner of old the legendary one you know the real thing
Keep an eye out for this weeks video. Going to see an old school legend with some beautiful FLDs/Classics. Appreciate you watching, I understand what you’re saying, and I hope you’ll subscribe and keep watching. Have a great day!
DD15 got lots of problems
Like what, Mario?
Id rather have a Volvo
Fair to have a preference. They’re good trucks. Curious what you like most about the Volvo? What model are you in?
great job filming in a cave with no lighting...... well done!!! I"m being sarcastic btw.
lol! Y’all taking about peterbilt and Kw’s like they’re not plastic heaps of junk, 579’s,680’s all throw away trucks! Go buy a new 389 or w900,990 and it’ll cost more than your house. Good luck making a living lol! When you pass a truck sitting ion the side of the road with the hood up look and see if you dont see that red motor sitting there. Yep, it’s a Cummins! Freight doesn’t pay based on the make of truck
I use my eyes to see how far I am from the vehicle in front of me, that collision mitigation is for people that aren't professional drivers, been driving for 40 plus never needed the bullshit with the annoying tones, I watch Peterbilt and Kenworth guys doing their videos and I dont hear knot head salesman bashing other brands, I would not look you up if I were interested in a fruit can (Freightliner) if you have to bash other brands that says your not confident in the fruit can your selling. The dash sucks the old school gages are what is best, go to a truck show see what wins out, its not Gameboy looking crap like your yellow submarine lol
Thanks for the input Karen! 🤷🏼♂️
@michaelcarter1836 your welcome Karen
I’ll start putting ‘trigger warnings’ on sensitive content for you, sir.
If just one child can be safed, its a good feature. Professionals are not the people who think, that 50 or 60 year old designs like W900 or 379 are the best units around.
Real professionals go with the time. Maybe as a real professional you will never you GPS or a smartphone, because its not oldschool enough. Oh and i dont forget, eyes of professionals never get old!
The digital dash is not new. Everything what is declareted "new" for the average north american trucker is just approved since years in Europe. When Daimler introduced the Mercedes New Actros in Europe in 2019, they introduced the digital dash. Freightliner as just one brand of Daimler Trucks gets always the new things later and they digital dash is one to one the same.
And now something strange for you: The digital dash in Europe works fine. Maybe the drivers are just decades ahead of thinking.
@honda900000 I've never killed a child or rear ended a car , real professionals work their entire career and never do that. But if you need help to drive the truck then it's just a fact you need help.
Stop it, stop comparing with peterbilt try international
NEVER. I sold a 379 with a fresh Platinum overhaul C15 last week. But when it comes to new, Freightliner humiliates any peeder-stilt all day every day. Amazing that ppl actually still buy new Petes. Overpriced solution to insecurity!! Sad!
😂😂😂
Hey someone thinks I’m funny!
Трак за 200к., а материалы в кабине такие дешёвые, самый галимый пластик из Китая.
I don’t speak Russian. Send my regards to Putin🫡
How is this owner opp speced lol it doesnt have the best arrow it has the gray plastic finish not the wood grain it has a DD15 not the DD16 or cummins X15, its automatic dt12 trans you can get these with 18 speed manual trust me ive seen them this is not a true owner opp specd tractor this is a slightly modded fleet truck this noting you cant get from the average mega carrier.
You’re embarrassing yourself…
@@MidwestBestHDTrucks how that's not a owner opp specd truck what kind of owner op spes a truck with just some lights and a vertical exhaust that's a glorified fleet specd truck real owner opp specd trucks have bigger power and way more bells and whistles ,what owner opp wants a truck that's only 460 and 1650 torque could of saved a bunch of money and bought the same thing on the used market and added the same accessories,every owner op I personally know who ordered a tractor ordered their truck with more than 12 gears and 400 HP especially considering the DD15 can still get over 7 mpg with a 515 HP version of the engine, that's a glorified fleet specd truck that ain't no real owner opp truck. nussbumm has better specd trucks than that and their a mega carrier.
@@MidwestBestHDTrucks what are you talking about? Paccar has a larger digital display in the 579, 567, 589, etc. Also, in the KW W990, T680, etc. They were the first to the market with a full digital display before Freightliner. I know this because I leased one when they first arrived on the scene. They've been out for a few years now. You're displaying your ignorance because you're a fan of an inferior product. Don't get me wrong; I totally understand. I was once a salesman, not of trucks but of cars. But the ideology is the same, so I get it. You're a salesman; you're supposed to back your product. But just because you're excited about your product doesn't mean it's the best. Freightliner sucks; I've owned two Cascadias. They're hot garbage. I've been driving for 14 years and driven mostly every tractor you can think of from every manufacturer, so I know what's good and what's garbage. Cascadia and the pro stars with the MaxxForce is at the top of my list of trucks I will never purchase."
@@nasheemwhye5197 do you know what a B-panel is? You sound unhinged.
Thinking of buying one 2024 Freightliner with x15 Cummins
Could you help me buddy ??
I heard both good and bad things for Cummins and Detroit in Freightliner
No apu no bueno.
Opt idle = MUCHO Bueno
Is a freightliner 😂
Very observant!
No shit captain obvious!
Nothing new here jus bullish
Lots of new features. More coming this year. Did you watch the video?
Looks cheap on the inside compared to the new volvo's
The individual doing this video needs to do less talking. Or get a real salesman with a real knowledge
I appreciate the feedback. I can focus more on details, I’m just trying to avoid being ‘just another boring salesman pitching a product’ and make it a little fun. But I’ve been thinking, watching others that I enjoy, and yeah - I’ll be more informative. Let me know if there’s anything you want another video of, or anything specific you’d like to learn about and I’ll do my research and shoot a vid. So, thank you for the feedback, I’ll hope to see more in the future from ya. Have a great New Year’s!🎉
Junk the days of real trucks are dead
I’ve got respect for the older stuff too, and I sell both. Look at the 07 Pete I delivered last week, my most recent video. But for those looking to get 9mpg, have warranty, and unmatched comfort (those that can afford to) - a new Cascadia is the best option for the money. That’s why they’re over 40% of trucks on the road..
You are full of sheet@@MidwestBestHDTrucks
Volvo rides way better than
Not true!
@@MidwestBestHDTrucks very true Volvo has been the best riding truck I’ve been in frightliner is rough
Bleh. Already looks dated and it’s just not nice
Very insightful…
Another cookie cutter aero truck.
Far from it. Totally innovative, totally reliable, totally beautiful. Thanks for watching. What do you want to see in the next video?
That dash is garbage and a no go.
No it isn’t. Did you spec it on your brand new truck?
Over-rated
When when cascadia gonna make better steps on the sides to climb on top of frame and better HWY horn
They already do have several access step configurations and city/air horn configurations. Did you know that?
