Love the content! I am a one truck owner with own authority and this channel has helped me a-lot with my business and can’t wait for more good information!
I absolutely LOVE the videos with Brian in them. Why? He's a no BS kind of guy and it adds authenticity to the claims Ronen makes. It's also refreshing to hear someone speak his truth and not care if he hurts some Karen's feelings. I would have loved to have videos of time in the truck during loading/unloading and how the inside is during downtime/sleeping. A no BS view of those things would be refreshing and informative for a potential new driver on those creature comforts and how to best protect your health/body.
Very, very… interesting. I have a 2019 VNL with an X15 and auto shift plus 3. I had put in a Carrier APU that virtually eliminated my idling and maintained a very nice comfort level. 90 day average 8.03 mpg. Like you ripped out the stock seat for a Legacy Silver. Computer read outs don’t mean anything, the manual calculations are the only true data. With the current resell market I have been thinking next year of selling it and buying a new Western Star 5700xe. Cascadia frame and drive-train with a much better O/O interior and comfort level. BUT, that one box DPF system scares the hell out of me. On average 400,000 to 800,000 mi life cycle with a $15,000 replacement cost. Maybe the best course of action is to hold the Volvo run it another 7 or 8 years and retire. Even if I had to do an in-frame it would be worth it. I am very interested to see what your decision will be. As for me I would chase my wife around the kitchen table too, like you said. But if after being retired for a few months I think she will be the one chasing me with a butcher knife in one hand and a cellphone talking to her lawyer in another. :-)
I drove for only 6 years. I prefer the Cascadia Freightliners over the Volves and Internationals. Those were the only ones I had the opportunity to drive. The only problem I noticed was they rattle more over time. Thanks for your videos, you do a great job.
2001 FLD condo full skirts! signature 600@2050 18sp 355 gear. 18,000lb@ 288 gal fuel . 18 gauges and a cummins road relay 4 computer ... Best truck I ever owned!
Retire brother 👍👍. I've been in Freightliners since the late 80s- 00. Then other brands, then Cascadias since 2014 up to a 2018. Most common problem I saw in the Detroit powered was DEF issues.... but they are all machines and they all end up in the shop.... Go safe.
Can't believe it's 90 days already. Awesome video. I got really bad news and then really good news this week. Pennsylvania adopted California carb rules as of Jan 1st 2022. What that means for me is since new truck built is pushed off to first quarter of next year 4200 bucks plus 5000 in price increases for 2022 so 9200 bucks added to price. Good news a few people canceled orders and my build date is now December 2021 and don't have to have the new emissions nor the new price increase. So saving 9200 and getting it before Christmas 🎄 😅.
Excellent wrap up review, Brian!! The maintenance issues you didn't have are the big thing with me (based on the poor experiences I've had with Paccar drivetrains), so I'll likely be looking for a Freightliner next spring.
I know one of your first complaints was about the stereo, and I definitely agree. However I'm currently driving some new 2022 Cascadias out to BC , for the company I had been with the past 5.5 years ( getting an Ontario job after this) , and the stereo isn't as bad as older models. I think just changing the front speakers , and the sound might be quite good. If I buy one for myself I expect I would change the rears as well though.
My 2019 is not governed and has gotten over 8 mpg on paper for 3 years. The older body style did a lot worse, but the new body style is great on fuel mileage.
You could always go with western star. New one or older one. Whichever way you want to go. Older one you could get the 12.7 Detroit in it and those things are huge inside. Or a newer one with the dd15 and you can still have the long nose classic look as well.
I bought a 2020 Cascadia Freightliner I hate the clutter of wires charging ports otherwise it is not a bad idea truck just anywhere near you can truck Services on Freightliner repair services. Freightliner should offer remote control startup and security lock doors for the bunker control panel near the bed incase you need to lock up when you're resting. Should offer more lights bunkers especially when the top bunk is folded down whether you have two options driver
Did you have any long border crossings? That gets counted as idle by silly systems. I run regional crossing a border every day. A 30minute crossing 6x a week gets me to 3hrs idle alone/week. Add in cooking/coffee making, warm up, etc and you get to over 5% without even trying.
I really appreciate the "no bull" analysis of the Cascadia. I have a 2012 Columbia Glider, purchased from Schneider. 955,169 miles on her. Paid for, and I'm hoping to get 4 more years out of it. Being semi retired I don't want 2500$+ a month payments. I appreciate all the guidance I have received from you and ET. Thanks.
I have driven Paccar DAF XF 2019 for the last 6 months in Europe. It was full loaded always near 52000-53000 lbs, because I drove a tank. I have no one issue with truck for this period. Total mileage is near 250000 km now.
Hi, I'm a company driver from Germany, currently driving fresh food (meat, dairy and fish products to be precise). A Month ago my company got a 2022 Mercedes Actros with Mirror cameras and active drive assistant (means, the truck autonomously keeps the lane by camera input, as long as there are lane markings on the road). With an average road speed of 33.5 mph and motorway speed of 53 mph I managed a fuel/mileage ratio of 22.5 Litres/100 km, which equates to around 10.5 miles per gallon. Thank you for your great content. My last company, which is specialized in building site delivery, started such kind of channel too, however, the population of English speakers tends to bay WAY higher then those who understand RUclips vids in German.
The upgrade seats in the Cascadia made my ass hurt after only a couple hours daily. I had another with the base cloth seats? Comfortable as hell. Definitely better than the upscale FL seat or for that matter the buckboards in the 21 VNL760 I'm driving now.
I don't understand why you idle your truck at all if you have an APU? I have the same truck, except 2018, it won't idle any longer then 160 seconds, then it shuts off.
I spent a day in late September in a '22 Cascadia and it had opti idle. I just don't know if that is an option that may not have been in the truck Brian was checking out. Some are definitely opti idle
Don't get me wrong I would prefer to drive a new truck, just for comfort. Now you have a paid truck with cheap maintenance . Would you seriously trade in that for a 1k payment and better fuel mileage?
I would and am 5.5 mpg vs 9+ t680 = 3000 miles a week with fuel at 3 bucks would be 3500 dollars a month in fuel savings. Plus comfort and reliability to me no brainer
Hello. Your channel is amazing. I would like to ask you about axel ratio on yours trucks. Is it less 3,0? I drove Cascadia 2016 and I had 6.2 MPG. Is it really the big difference 2016 and 2021? I think if drive NS, NB, NY, PA MPG won't it be better 7. Thank you
I just completed my training and im still not sure what truck i want , im leaning towards a freightliner or kenworth , can someone with more experience tell me the pros and cons please ? I will be doing bi weekly but im more curious about comfort comparison and their difference in tight turns etc
Brian has 2 playlists doing full reviews on a 2021 Kenworth T680 and a 2020 Freightliner Cascadia. Check out his videos to get a better understanding for what you might be looking for!
Thanks for the review i drive this truck and have for almost two years and if I owned it first thing getting changed is the seat the rest I can be w but I have to have a million dollar seat if im in it for 11 hrs
Totally disappointed... I was expecting to see Ronan do the happy dance in the truck like you mentioned.... Great content and very informative... luv this channel!
Also wondering do you guys use any fuel and oil add. I'm going to run hotshot secret in the new t680 paccar engine from day one for one it worked in my current truck. Had a turbo problem and I put in the oil treatment in and after 60000 miles turbo is now perfect. So in my mind it works. But would love to have two trucks identical to see results
Which engiene/Truck do u consider best, for different howl? eg, for flat bed ? van ? oversize load ? howling light stuff ? I like yr videos, all users find ém help ful thanks
Well I was driving a 23 Freightliner and a weird thing happened I don't know exactly how but the truck didn't start The 4 ways didn't work and The truck would not start this was at a fuel stop. Had to do something with the Ignition I don't know That monster was outlined in it yeah we are experienced and then a 1/2 an hour later try it again then it started It would turn the key on before the wipers would start going the 4 ways didn't work And then it started working again a little later And the truck only had less than 40000. And it happened on the weekend just imagine how scared we were When that happened. It was something too experienced especially the 2nd time on a truck especially a 2023 system adaptive cruise control be aware of that How that truck will perform 2 years from now who knows but it was kind of interesting to have that happened in a new truck. So I wouldn't sign off on the modernnized version just yet. And of course the steering alignment wasn't that great And a Steer assist It is Something to do to get used to But the truck handled well we get 9 miles or 10 Carrying just about the same amount of weibut But we didn't get to the Miles on the truck added a real quick. So so these newer modern trucks with the headaches add it to them and sensors and all that other stuff might be an issue a little later on the 90 days but make the best of what you got I guess Because they're not going to try to make an old thing work better. They want to see it go away but but somebody's old trucks do run a lot better But maybe if he was Govern and his truck, probably that 5.2 or 6 would be 7 or 8 miles. But that dam clock doesn't wait for anybody.
My 94 379 Pete is down for a engine overhaul. I drove a 2021 cascadia for 7 days and I can’t wait until I get my truck back together. My right leg is beat up from the stupid drink holder and dash. The metal grab bars next to you and by the left knee are a pain in the ass. I’m 6’5” tall and my Pete has more leg room in it. The seat in this cascadia sucks, it’s like riding on a board. I never used the sleeper, I sleep in a holiday inn at night. I think it has a dd13 in it and it is slow and sluggish with the automatic transmission. To each their own. I would never own one of these trucks.
Great series, really hope you can do another 90 days in the T 680. No offense but I just think freightshakers feel cheap. Whatever you end up doing Brian, I hope we get to see it here. Cheers!
I'm driving a 21 cascadia and absolutely hate it . It's pure junk . Built in Mexico. I got it brand new . The first week both doors about fell off . Hinge bolts were loose and could turn them with your fingers . Electrical issues . Every time you turn the key windshield wipers will cycle . Rattles like crazy . Microwave cabinet will vibrate loose . The screws in the front of it loosen and let cabinet drop . Ac has a Short in wiring harness . Blower will quit and have to pull the cover from fuse box reach behind dash and wiggle wiring to get it to come back on . Plugs are tight but something is loose . Seats just suck period . Electrical outlets are awful . Was in shop 4 times for the axle flange seals . Blowing oil everywhere. Biggest piece of shit I've driven in 28 years of driving . If it catches fire I'll beat the hell out of anybody that has a fire extinguisher in their hand . Legendary freightliner quality my ass . And it only has 206000 miles on it .
I've been driving a 2020 cascadia for over a year its been very reliable. Yup electric ports suck. Water in floorboards. Very accurate good review
Check your condenser drain tubes underneath the truck in the middle. They're probably clogged. Unclog with a screw driver.

I want to see you in a new T680. I know it was reviewed by you before, but a 90 day challenge in one would be great!
Ronen, make it happen!!!!
We are working on it!!
Put around 9k miles on a new T680 out 22days training at CFI this past month, great truck. Good looking truck too.
Would also want to see the new Peterbuilt as well.
Need to look into the Green-APU to fix idle issues plus more. Heard they’re great to have
Day one: wears a Metallica T-shirt from when he had hair.
Day ninety: looking very respectful in a Nike Polo Shirt.
Haha 😂 Your attention to detail is great Robert.

i find this in pretty much all newer trucks cuz they have alot more plastic inside of em then they used to but ya freightliners are probably the worst
I just drove my buddies new 21 t680 and it's the smoothest driving truck I've ever been in , I didn't hardly feel any bumps in the road.

Love everytime you make a video thats only time i watch a no bullshit kind of guy👍 be safe out there
Brian freightliner is the best way to go right now then you custom built the interior your way then enjoy making money. 💰💵

90 days went by too fast! Awesome, early Christmas present to you!
As long as a truck is speced the way these companies and manufacturers are trending they will always leave efficiency on the table.
Excellent wrap up review, Brian!! The maintenance issues you didn't have are the big thing with me (based on the poor experiences I've had with Paccar drivetrains), so I'll likely be looking for a Freightliner next spring.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video Kent. Good luck on your search!
I agree, I hate paccsr drivetrain, had a 17 and had issues from day one
Would love to see a next gen T6 Challenge!

I don't know.....chasing the wifie doesn't sound all that bad!
Cascadia it’s good. We run the cascadia with 130 000 lb in México and it works great ! MPG 2.4
This has been such a nice challenge! Very good and informative review!
90 days in a T680!
Make it happen Ronan!
We’re working on it!
Great video. The straight forward advice and information is appreciated.
The difference between this New Truck at 8.7mpg vs 1996 KW 5.9mpg is about ~$1900/mos. $6k/90days $22,800/yr.
But that number is a lie
Mine says 8 and it has NEVER never never got that miles when you file your taxes
My 2019 is not governed and has gotten over 8 mpg on paper for 3 years. The older body style did a lot worse, but the new body style is great on fuel mileage.

Cascadia is my favourite
Thank you,I been working for Erb transport out of Baden,ON for the last 4 years,now am thinking of becoming O/O.
Used to drive a International pro star, I find freight shakers are much better
Would like to see a 2022 T680 review
Same… Maybe in the future we can get our hands on one!
Sold! Give me two.
Boom! Glad you liked Brian’s video 😎

Pull freight that you run 80000 all of the time. Bottom hopper or end dump? 39000 is a few tons from some lightweights.
Great review! Looking forward to Ronen's happy dance!
It’s what we all have been waiting for 🕺🏼

I drive a 2022 T680 2-3 hours out and back
I don’t usually get over 8mpg but it’s also governed at 75 so if I can legally go faster I will

Freightliners are the best 😀 👋
Agreed! 👏🏼
It would be cool to see you do a similar review of the t680 and internationals!
Lower left area behind the fridge are 2 more 3 prong outlets...
The problem with the sleeper berth in a Cascadia is the 1 a/c vent on the LH side instead of both sides like a T680. It gets hot back there...
Yeesh! Lol I love this channel but this video hurt a little bit! 😂💯👌🏾 Keep it up y’all!
Thanks Travis! Glad you’ve been following and enjoying our content 😎
The upgrade seats in the Cascadia made my ass hurt after only a couple hours daily. I had another with the base cloth seats? Comfortable as hell. Definitely better than the upscale FL seat or for that matter the buckboards in the 21 VNL760 I'm driving now.
I don't understand why you idle your truck at all if you have an APU? I have the same truck, except 2018, it won't idle any longer then 160 seconds, then it shuts off.
Did the et truck have a apu?
I have a TK apu in my 19. Any outside temp of °90 it's basically worthless. It can not keep up. You end up sweating. Take it my truck is black.
I think those trucks have opti idle
@@RolfLongreach No they don't, they have an APU.
I spent a day in late September in a '22 Cascadia and it had opti idle. I just don't know if that is an option that may not have been in the truck Brian was checking out. Some are definitely opti idle

Good afternoon
Excellent truck review

Thanks Carlos!
Don't get me wrong I would prefer to drive a new truck, just for comfort. Now you have a paid truck with cheap maintenance . Would you seriously trade in that for a 1k payment and better fuel mileage?
I would and am 5.5 mpg vs 9+ t680 = 3000 miles a week with fuel at 3 bucks would be 3500 dollars a month in fuel savings. Plus comfort and reliability to me no brainer
The fuel savings will pay for the truck. The math doesn't lie.
@@redjeb5833 absolutely I figure 4 years maybe sooner now with this government we have in America fuel prices over 4 bucks a gallon.
Beauty 🚚
the new DD15 gen 5 is supposed to be better on fuel
That’s true.
Awesome video. Make a decision to be a Company driver. Especially if you have 3 years left.
Definitely agree about that deceit 5 600 miles Definitely the seat would have to be gone yeah. I was wondering when you were going to get to that.
How fast 90 days passed!!!!
Too fast 😢 But! We are excited to prepare Brian’s next review/truck challenge!
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News yes he is the perfect person to have all sorts of experiments and tests 😁😁❤️❤️
What's the hardware/software you use to track these numbers? (Miles,idling time etc)
Cascadias are nice trucks but I wish I could've gotten an 18 speed or at least a ten speed manual.
Hello. Your channel is amazing. I would like to ask you about axel ratio on yours trucks. Is it less 3,0? I drove Cascadia 2016 and I had 6.2 MPG. Is it really the big difference 2016 and 2021? I think if drive NS, NB, NY, PA MPG won't it be better 7. Thank you
I'm 6 foot tall isn't the sleeper only 72 inches? The T680 is 76 inches.
What do you think would be the mileage difference with a DD13 set at the max?
Awesome guys keep it up 👍
Not sure if I missed it but what were the overall miles that the truck had before and after the challenge?
Did you record how much DEF you had to purchase?
90 over
What Oil was used in this truck?
10W-40 Full synthetic?
Also brand of oil?
That being almost 3 years ago, hard to say now, but we could look into it
Great series 👍
I just completed my training and im still not sure what truck i want , im leaning towards a freightliner or kenworth , can someone with more experience tell me the pros and cons please ? I will be doing bi weekly but im more curious about comfort comparison and their difference in tight turns etc
Brian has 2 playlists doing full reviews on a 2021 Kenworth T680 and a 2020 Freightliner Cascadia. Check out his videos to get a better understanding for what you might be looking for!
I'm driving one now and it's not getting that kind of milage it has a Detroit in it
Thanks for the review i drive this truck and have for almost two years and if I owned it first thing getting changed is the seat the rest I can be w but I have to have a million dollar seat if im in it for 11 hrs
Totally disappointed... I was expecting to see Ronan do the happy dance in the truck like you mentioned.... Great content and very informative... luv this channel!
👍
😊
I am watching this video while i am sitting in my truck which has Cummins n14 engine on it with 6 mpg avarage. 😥
Oh no 😢
My 2021 gets 5.5 a gallon 😂😂😂
Also wondering do you guys use any fuel and oil add. I'm going to run hotshot secret in the new t680 paccar engine from day one for one it worked in my current truck. Had a turbo problem and I put in the oil treatment in and after 60000 miles turbo is now perfect. So in my mind it works. But would love to have two trucks identical to see results
try to do a 90 day review of the mack anthem
Same as a new Volvo but different skin.
Noted!
Volvo is getting over 10 mpg with there new d13 tc motor . Impressive numbers new trucks are getting .
How much more is a brand new T 680 versus a Cascadia? With similar specs
Is the def fluid included in the total fuel bill, or it was just diesel fuel that was calculated?
how about an update on your truck now that it has been a year? breakdowns?
How many miles were on the truck when you started??
What happened to that older truck you bought ?
Sold it months ago!
deff think u read off the wrong line on that email
Great information.
What are the spec of the truck?
Is the truck governor?
Which engiene/Truck do u consider best, for different howl? eg, for flat bed ? van ? oversize load ? howling light stuff ? I like yr videos, all users find ém help ful thanks
? What engine is in that freight liner ?. How many horses under the hood?
Well I was driving a 23 Freightliner and a weird thing happened I don't know exactly how but the truck didn't start The 4 ways didn't work and The truck would not start this was at a fuel stop. Had to do something with the Ignition I don't know That monster was outlined in it yeah we are experienced and then a 1/2 an hour later try it again then it started It would turn the key on before the wipers would start going the 4 ways didn't work And then it started working again a little later And the truck only had less than 40000. And it happened on the weekend just imagine how scared we were When that happened. It was something too experienced especially the 2nd time on a truck especially a 2023 system adaptive cruise control be aware of that How that truck will perform 2 years from now who knows but it was kind of interesting to have that happened in a new truck. So I wouldn't sign off on the modernnized version just yet. And of course the steering alignment wasn't that great And a Steer assist It is Something to do to get used to But the truck handled well we get 9 miles or 10 Carrying just about the same amount of weibut But we didn't get to the Miles on the truck added a real quick. So so these newer modern trucks with the headaches add it to them and sensors and all that other stuff might be an issue a little later on the 90 days but make the best of what you got I guess Because they're not going to try to make an old thing work better. They want to see it go away but but somebody's old trucks do run a lot better But maybe if he was Govern and his truck, probably that 5.2 or 6 would be 7 or 8 miles. But that dam clock doesn't wait for anybody.
Problem is even if you want a new truck these days, you can't get it lol
Or a simple $200 sensor. If a Def sensor goes you will sit 2 months for it to come in.
@@mike-sk2li good news is the government is letting paccar trucks remove the Def sensors on their trucks now.
@@mike-sk2li can't you have a spare sensors on truck?
Another great video. Would you recommend buying in your first year?
where tf is that dance?!
How much DEF $
You're Awesome!!
My 94 379 Pete is down for a engine overhaul. I drove a 2021 cascadia for 7 days and I can’t wait until I get my truck back together. My right leg is beat up from the stupid drink holder and dash.

I'm driving a 21 cascadia and absolutely hate it . It's pure junk . Built in Mexico. I got it brand new . The first week both doors about fell off . Hinge bolts were loose and could turn them with your fingers . Electrical issues . Every time you turn the key windshield wipers will cycle . Rattles like crazy . Microwave cabinet will vibrate loose . The screws in the front of it loosen and let cabinet drop . Ac has a Short in wiring harness . Blower will quit and have to pull the cover from fuse box reach behind dash and wiggle wiring to get it to come back on . Plugs are tight but something is loose . Seats just suck period . Electrical outlets are awful . Was in shop 4 times for the axle flange seals . Blowing oil everywhere. Biggest piece of shit I've driven in 28 years of driving . If it catches fire I'll beat the hell out of anybody that has a fire extinguisher in their hand . Legendary freightliner quality my ass . And it only has 206000 miles on it .
The real test is over 3 years, the complete cost vs pre emission vehicle.

Stay tuned to find out if Brian will buy it!
