- In this video, we'll look at the 2024 Freightliner Cascadia and how it compares to other truck manufacturers and models in terms of fuel efficiency, driver comfort, sustainability, connection, and safety. We'll also go over its competitors, such as Volvo's VNL series, Kenworth's W990, Peterbilt's Model 579, and Mack's Anthem, and how the Cascadia stands out in these key areas.
With its upgraded Detroit Diesel engines and aerodynamic modifications, the Freightliner Cascadia 2024 establishes new fuel economy norms. This truck is a game changer in terms of lowering carbon emissions and operating costs, establishing it as a sustainability leader in the trucking sector.
The Cascadia's roomy and customisable cabin approaches luxury vehicles in terms of driver comfort. It provides a home away from home for truck drivers, with adjustable seats, massage functions, smart infotainment systems, and safety features such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance.
In compared to competitors like as Volvo, Kenworth, Peterbilt, and Mack, the 2024 Cascadia distinguishes out for its focus on sustainability, connection, and safety. It leads the way in decreasing environmental impact and integrating cutting-edge technologies.
Another area where the Cascadia excels is connectivity, which incorporates powerful telematics systems for real-time data monitoring and analysis. Fleet managers may remotely optimise routes, measure fuel use, and monitor vehicle health, resulting in increased efficiency and reduced downtime.
The safety of drivers and other road users is crucial in the trucking industry, and the 2024 Freightliner Cascadia takes it to the next level with technology like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot recognition.
We'll also talk about the future of trucking, such as self-driving technologies, electric and hydrogen-powered trucks, and the emergence of digital freight platforms, all of which are set to transform the sector. The agility and commitment to improvement of Freightliner are crucial assets that will keep it competitive in this ever-changing landscape.

Shocked me so much that I'll just keep rebuilding my 94 379
The Kenworth T600A was the first production aerodynamic truck I remember when I first saw one in the winter of 1985
my favorite truck, they look the nicest too imbo
Designed in Boeing wind tunnel from scratch it was truly revolutionary for its time
The Detroit Assurance and Collision avoidance, Picks up bridge overpasses and slams on the brakes for things that aren't even there. They are currently in court for a lawsuit over those issues right now.. JUNK!!
Radar is picking up ghosts, or invisible alien predators on a hunting trip.
Hope they have a better suspension on them. Don't call them FreightShakers for nothing!!!
Some ride better than others. The older model Cascadia I'm driving rides pretty smoothly, but I drove another that would scare you going around curves, like those old 80's Ford Cabovers with the 8 bag air ride.
Absolutely horrible I can’t stand them
My 579 was getting a service done I used a freight shake. Think I'll stay with the Pete
I do like the dd15
I like how every time he says 2024 Cascadia, a 2015 Cascadia is on screen?
To me this sounds like a Freightliner cascadia commercial if my memory serves me correctly I do believe it was Kenworth that started the aerodynamics thing with the t600 back in the early eighties mid-80s
There is so much wrong here. As someone who works on heavy trucks for a living, I’m pretty familiar with what’s available. The Cascadia should be compared to a KW T680, not the W990. Also, fuel economy is barely better than the competition if at all. And these trucks are extremely unreliable. The most common truck I have to have my customers get towed to the dealer is a Cascadia (I work roadside, I can’t do all the intricate emissions repairs on the side of the interstate). Their whole purpose is to be the cheapest truck available
Like a Ford or Chevy. Pretty in paint, unreliable..
The most common truck to need work on because 3 out of 5 trucks sold in north america are cascadias.
@@bendytendy9586 honestly, for the fleets I contract to, it’s a pretty even mix of freightliner, paccar, and Volvo. Usually the paccars and Volvos are easy fixes or just something to do with a light out or air brake problems. Cascadias are usually the ones with DEF units going out and leaving drivers stranded, or having engine control modules go dead
Great a video with a voice track that eliminates all information but maximizes BS words.
it shock only the American industry. here in Europe, we are wondering when Americans are going to catch up, not only on technology, but also quality
100% . . .
Just in case you missed it...this video is about the 2024 cascadia....
I heard a lot of buzz words and absolutely nothing of note. Aka it’s a 2023 cascadia which is just a 2020 cascadia
The very last thing I would do as a trucker is sit and charge a truck reliability and fuel efficiency is what I need .
I jus got a 24' it had 54miles on it. Very nice. Now it has about 7,500 already been in the shop. (Idle was rough/ threw code for injectors) Collision avoidance avoids ghosts too. Ergo of the cockpit is 6outa10. It eats DEF; much more so than my 20 international. I do like the bunk setup, and have a bigger fridge. It also had a mount for a tv. They go for around $200k if i was buying id offer $85k lol
You just described a new cascadia 😂 I’ve had a 22 and a 23 and both had the exact same issues. That man said absolutely nothing of note that I noticed other than “allows fleet managers to plan more efficient routes” meaning the guy with 0 trucking experience is now going to try and manage drivers routes too and screw that up.
That was just a bunch of corporate buzz words and a 23 cascadia with maybe 2 design changes where hoses connect or something dumb.
Your 2024 avoids ghosts? The 2022 Cascadia I'm driving avoids them too! They seem to hang out around overpasses for some reason.
The adaptable cruise control is annoying, and I don't like the Jake coming on in 3rd stage just because someone ahead of me just took an exit and is clearly not in front of me anymore.
I survived 36 years of trucking without all of that shit and wish they sold models without.
Does yours have all the annoying beeping safety shit? I’m ready to start cutting random wires in my truck just to have some peace and quiet. Also in reverse while backing up the radio gets muted too until it goes in neutral or forwards, dumbest shit ever!
@dethtopedophiles3870 Yeah, they have all of the nonsensical electronic bullshit. I hate the adaptive cruise control, which makes it hard to pass a slower vehicle in traffic and cuts engine power when you are cresting a hill.
What about the traffic behind you, when you suddenly go from 65 MPH down to 60 or 55 before you even started making the decline? I have a feeling that not a lot of thought and absolutely no feedback from drivers went into the development of these newer trucks.
@@dethtopedophiles3870 yes buzzes when i ride the line.. there is a button to temporarily disengage like when in construction zones
Freightliner Trucks, Brand of the Check Engine Light on Initial Start-up!
I just drove the new model this year and if you like a computer pressing the brake for no reason , i was annoyed. Its not a comfortable computer controlled system . The interior is beautiful though.
Come complete with flip flops, sweat pants and non speaking English.
Who approved of the T680 in the Freightliner ad????
Don’t compare todays “trucks” to yesteryears trucks, literally NO comparison between them, or the drivers.
That's a no shitter for sure. Today's drivers are dumber than a hammer and the trucks are overpriced junk.
Focil fuel powered?
"But wait, there is more!!"
“Remember it’s the most sustainable”…. No I will not clarify what I mean by sustainability at all
Have you seen PACCARs new 579ev Pete? Or their T680e KW? OR CATs new D11xe?
!
2:41 is American Truck Simulator
Lol when I worked at JB Hunt, I got put in a new Cascadia, and I had to down the unit a couple of times for electrical issues and once for a def issue. That was before it hit 90k
NICE BUT NOT AFFORDABLE FOR THE AVERAGE DRIVER OR SMALL COMPANY/NEW TRUCKS HAVE TO MUCH TECHNOLOGY/ELECTRONICS/ THEREFORE UNRELIABLE
Why not just ditch the starter and rig up a hand crank pony engine wheile you're at it . . .
How about make a latch for the fridge that actually latches. And maybe not put it on the floor.
The freightliner century class.....columbia.....cascadia.....the same truck in production for almost 30 years
The Columbia was far worse.
@@truthseeker2321 thanx
Where are the numbers? All easy claims, but are they backed?!?
Did they accidentally put stock footage of a previous model year?
Any brand that talks about driverless trucks should be abolished
lol, talk from someone who has never actually driven a class 8 truck.
You forgot to mention, that there is spare parts shortage and weeks holding trucks for no reason on service just to change oil
She beautiful I have an own 2018
Interesting fact - Freightliner controls 30-35% of US truck market. No other major truck manufacturer stands close. Why is that?
Did they really use American Truck Simulator footage? 💀
It takes DEF its junk
Don't they all?
No
@johnathanganziano7016 All of the new trucks use DEF, but that’s not what creates the breakdowns and other issues. The breakdowns, poor performance, and regens all come from the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter). The EGR forces dirty exhaust back into the intake and causes excessive soot and loss of power due to the engine literally choking on its own waste. The DPF is what gets clogged and causes the need for parked regens, which increases the more the truck is idled. The DPF needs to reach about 1,100 degrees to burn off the accumulated soot, and the system does this by either injecting fuel into the exhaust stream or injecting fuel on the exhaust stroke to increase the temperature. To me this is completely idiotic because the system wastes a ton of fuel trying to get the DPF hot enough to burn off the soot and turn it into ash.
From an environmental standpoint today’s trucks are significantly cleaner than older models, but the systems designed to help achieve environmental goals counteract that in many ways. The trucks would be significantly more reliable if they didn’t use EGR, and didn’t have the same type of DPF. The SCR System (Selective Catalytic Reduction) is what uses DEF, and is typically not the cause for a breakdown. This system works much better than the EGR and DPF, and doesn’t ever need a regen. The only maintenance the SCR system needs is for the DEF filter to be changed every couple hundred thousand miles.
As of today the new trucks being manufactured are 100 times more reliable than the earlier model “emissions trucks”. The manufacturers, especially Cummins, have really done a good job of making these systems work better with fewer issues. It’s still more stuff on the engine that can break, but I have a 2024 Cascadia and it extremely more reliable than the 2012 Cascadia I used to have. The worst trucks out there are the Volvos and Mack’s, which Volvo owns Mack, and this is because Volvo puts a sensor on everything! The sensors fail and cause a derate, which then leads to an expensive repair bill very frequently. Volvo’s ride good, and they have one of the better automated manual transmissions, but their engine and after treatment systems are garbage regardless of whether it’s a newer one or an older one.
Freightliner builds an all around good truck. The DD13 and DD15 aren’t the best engines, but they’re solid and will get good fuel mileage, make adequate power, and not have many after treatment issues if any. Personally, I prefer a Freightliner Cascadia with a Cummins X15 and a manual 18 speed transmission. Cummins builds the best after treatment system, and they sell their system to Navistar, Paccar (Peterbilt and Kenworth), and of course use it with their own engines as well. The Single Module After Treatment System is a streamline compact system that has a smaller DPF, and everything is easily accessible in one unit that looks like a muffler, but each individual part is designed to be replaced without having to replace the entire system.
Facts
@@user-sb3qg5ph5tif it takes def it’s junk! I have a 2019 t680 I deleted it if you going to buy new DELETE!
I've had mine for days (2) now..... All the alarms telling me about collisions and lanes go off all the time for no reason meaning I now ignore all alarms making them a distraction to my driving and nothing more. the cruise control slows the truck down cresting a hill so now I'm a road hazard to anyone behind me. The automatic transmission is SO slow taking off and switching between gears I could do better with me manual. And the visibility is terrible, I keep having to move to see around the pillar and mirrors, and the sensors in the windshield are so low it blocks my view of the road and traffic.
I'd rather have my 2016 back.
My company has them they stay in the shop all the time
trucks need this as they lag behind in up to date tec!
It will be at the mechanic shop in a couple of weeks due to DEF ,, guaranteed 😂😂😂
BS... hasn't changed since the 126 was brought out. Technology is now dated and interior layout is a mystery... what idiot came up with those cabinets.
Video also compares this truck to a W990 for fuel mileage. How about comparing it to the T680 since that's its competition. The 680 Next Gens are destroying Freightliner right now in fuel. mileage, comfort, and quality as costing about 30k less then the equally equipped Cascadia.
I drive a freightliner and every 2 week DPF system give problem ,my advice for owner operator is keep the old truck
I think I speak for every driver that we are tired of this RV it’s time for freightliner to give owner operators what we want again bring back the stick shift give us a long nose
You can still order a manual transmission. I have a 2024 Cascadia with a DD16 & an 18 speed.
@@ScottArmas107 I have to see that
Yeah I heard SCANIA , VOLVO, MAN and IVECO are closing their factories since they saw it...
Sorry Freightliner, The Volvo is a much better riding truck, and more driver friendly inside, the only thing Freightliner has over the Volvo is an actual real truck air horn.
Also Shame on you on not using Paccars fuel effient trucks for comparing truck to truck.
🤫 don’t tell them about paccars only experienced truckers know what’s what.
That the same truck which was build back in 2017, ridiculous.
Just like last years model... shocking! Why is my fuel mileage the same today as 15 yrs ago?
Isn't freighrshaker owed by a European nation.
Na
It’s owned by Diemler, A private German auto manufacturing investment company. Diemler owns Mercedes automobiles. In the early 2000 they pulled their Mercedes name out of the USA truck market because of the upcoming mandatory DEF regulations and the company didn’t want their products subject to scrutiny, since they knew the regulations would “water down” the quality of the engines. A similar approached was taken by CATAPILAR engines, whom refused to “water down “ their engines and opted for pulling out of the truck market. There are videos of that time frame of CATAPILAR calling out Cummings, DETROIT, VOLVO AND PACCAR for not being frankly to the trucking community of this rushed, untested and expensive pollution regulations, AKA DEF systems.
As far as I see.. There is nothing new from the 2023 and 2024,
It looks the same POPlastic !!! 😅
The entire truck industry **In USA**
All very primatice and still stuck 20 years behind actual advanced truck makers
Auto braking when nothin there
Just 15 years behind on europe trucks.
Let it drive itself.
Sounds like a big pile of expensive headache, i’ll just keep burning diesel with my old iron.
Get rid of the EPA
Time to retire, nothing but headaches these days
2024 same as 2023 andthat design til 2018 just update features
From a European point of view it looks old school......
Nothing beats volvo!
Except time
@@TheTrill334and money.........way more expensive in Europe......
Eco friendly I’m not buying this shit better with my 12.7 Detroit with no def and no stupid electronic
nothing shocking here at all. imo the most uncomfortable truck that I ever drove
we got 27 of this piece of there only 2022 model there dpf system sucks the wiring is awful abs problems is terrible bunk heat cant make its minde between ac or heat and more
Cascadia kw 990 different class
The only thing I keep hearing is fuel efficiency.. he said it 47 times. It’s fuel efficiency and arrow dynamics …. SMH so that’s it .. that’s what’s so great …. Nobody cares .
So many words to say so little....
Freightliner: like the other Trucks on the North American Market; Volvo Wannabes.
I owned a Volvo 2011 VNL 780, the only thing that bugged me was a Schizophrenic NOX Sensor that would come online for most of the day then near the end of the day it’s Fault Code would show up on the Dashboard, then the next morning be fine.
Other than that I got 8 MPG with that Truck and could climb up the Real Ladder to Sleep on the Upper Bunk inside of it’s 77 inch ~ 195.58 cm Sleeper.
I’ll stay with my Volvo.
il est complètement a la ramasse a coté du nouveau VNL860
They are terrible trucks. All the damn safety shit on them. I drive one only because I am company driver. It gives me collisions warnings for nothing, slams on break when no one is in front of me and doesn’t idle no longer the five minutes. I don’t like it because with this truck I am a steering wheel holder.
A poor musician blames his instrument. It’s not the truck, it’s you.

Why the annoying sound? Can’t stand to watch the video.
This marketing, is geared to owner Ops! Not fleets! Also I consistently had a 8.5 mpg, with a 2022, even with Al it’s mis aligned front and rear axles,certain ECMs not coordinating the torque to the drive. Axle! And still it got 8.3-8.5 mpg! Not with this 2024! I’m struggling to get 7 mpg! Eve with light loads, on economy mode. No power at all .. loaded or empty! Don’t let there be even the slightest increase in road elevation! The that are trying to save the world, with lower emissions, and trying to save money on fuel, just raise your rates! All this do Goode crap will happen too, when electric trucks get on the scene. How do they produce the electricity to charge the trucks now?
That's why scania aand volvo is better. 700+hp helps to pull our loads that can be 100metric tons

'advanced infotainment systems' so using tech from Mercedes trucks from 2011 xd
Well, it looks like I have the first comment
This is nothing more than an AI generated freightliner commercial, giving no real insight into the fuel efficiency and actual new functions of the truck.
there is nothing new on this truck it is all added eqipment and accessories available since 2019
It didn’t change anything, still same cascadia from 2018 😂😂😂
Which itself is still the same tech from 20 years ago in Europe . . .
@@TRPGpilot Nobody gives a shit about your European trucks
This video just repeats itself with the BS of sustainability total joke!
Price so high, you'll be at 750k miles before its paid off. We drive roughly 140k miles per year. Youll be right back underneath a note within 2 years of paying it off. Its numbers use to be lined up with 500k miles and its paid off, now its 750k miles. Disgusting, Pure Greed.
So nothing changed
I mean not really. It's still not good for flat bedding. To small, not enough storage, one though it dont have a Pickard I mean paccar
a lot of yappin
Rough riding suspension. And that so called safty crap is just that crap. Noisy and annoying. Not like we have enough stress out there. These noise making stressful lane departure and adaptive cruise control is rediculious. Taking away the common sense of a a professional driver and putting it in the truck. A truck that locks up the brakes on bridge shadows.

I don't understand. All trucks are going electric
Collision detection and auto breaking is retarded in icy conditions. All the beeping is annoying and distracting. Drivers don’t care about pollution control. Drivers, unless owner operators, don’t care about fuel consumption. Drivers want comfort, control over their environment and anything that makes life easier on the roads. How about putting in a fridge and microwave standard? How about a HUD projected onto the wind shield showing speed? How about a built in back up light for dark lots and variable docks coming out of the sun into a dark warehouse? How about digital climate control vs a knob with blue or red? How about a built in fold down recliner in the bunk? Tons of things that are driver centric vs bean counter centric. No drivers equals no money to buy your trucks
Forget it’s a trash if has DEF , they make money not selling the truck but with maintenance on the DEF system .
Put the big motor and the manual transmission back in it, make it blow big black clouds all over the place and take all them sensors off of it!
Why not just ditch the electric starter and rig up a hand crank pony engine to start it while you are at it . . .
Nothing about the 2024 cascadia is new. Everything it has on it is literally the same since 2019 model when they change to that body style. Only thing different is the GEN 5 DD15 and it’s a stretch to even call that different from the GEN 3 and GEN 4 arguably more reliable generations of the DD series engines. Fuel economy on them has been the same in real world use for the last 5 years. Literally nothing has changed same stupid Detroit assurance system no driver likes. The interior will make all kinda noises from the cheap plastic they use in it after sometime of use etc.
new gen was introduced in spring 2017 for a 2018...and in 2018 you can have both generation.
