That’s the whole goal isn’t it? Make truck drivers slaves to debt. All these trucks are cheaply made, and their service dept are a joke. Its robbery!! All these “upgrades” are for mega carriers that put any ass in their seats. We’re going the wrong direction folks!
@@user-FTRU6GJ Unfortunately, the programming required to either fix or reset the electronics is proprietary and your local mechanic, good as he is, won't have access. Progress drives about anything other than an oil change to a dealer.
How about a collision mitigation system that works, or safety features the drivers want and not the carrier? For example heated windshield wipers and headlights. You know, things that are actually useful and practical...
Does the auto breaking still go hard on the breaks for overhead road signs, or the guardrail in cloverleaf exits, or traffic cones for that matter. And don't say I'm exaggerating because I've had all those happen to me multiple times.
@williamatkins3465 that's why you don't trust these parts changers. Had an lt including my buddys that he swore you can't change but yet he nonstop complained about how much of a safety hazard it was. I took a Philips and unscrewed the one I had with some trial and error I had it straight
I don’t think most people do, but there’s not much we can do about it. In a few incidents it’s been dangerous for me. The road had faded lines and the most prominent markings on the road were grooves that ran at a 40° angle. It shoved me into the right 2 lanes and if it wasn’t for my quick reaction time hitting the left blinker and turning the wheel, it would’ve been my first and only accident. I don’t know a single person likes the new tech. Safe to say nobody who drives for a career likes it, but it inevitable to have it on all trucks from all manufacturers considering drivers have very little input for most manufacturers.
Well thanks for adding more bright lights I guess we will know who to sue in a few years for loosing are eye sight it's already bad out there now it's going to be worse maybe you should auto tint our mirrors and front window for night blindness now that would impress me
what's crazy is i have a '24 Freightliner Cascadia with a D15 and I have a check engine light on for the engine control management system "MCM" and they have no fix for it that to reprogram the mcm... that fix lasted 3 days and the light came back on.
I have a ‘25 with a DD13 with the exact same issue. My CEL came back on last week after they addressed this problem. No driveability issues though, so I’m just going to ignore it until I go home for Thanksgiving. It’s not worth the downtime for something so trivial
All these electronic gimmicks are only there to increase the truck price and times you visit the dealer for repairs. I'll keep my 2018 Cascadia 850k miles going strong.
How the fuel economy is accomplished? I'm driving 4th gen Freightshaker!!! Transmission is so dull, 505hp you can tell if comparative with peterbilt or volvo same HP. This 5th gen is way behind what volvo vnl put on the market, the only way to compete with that is Price and Reliability!!
All of the OEM are offering new technology, but I think 🤔 the consumer should see more from the manufacturer on backing the technology on a longer warranty cycle. Do the bumper to bumper warranty to 500K on the technology you trying to introduce,especially with the cost of the Class 8 trucks.
This is a beautiful tractor, but, please can I just buy a regular freightliner without all that stuff that drives me crazy, like all that assistance, it drives us crazy with the sounds. Some ingeneers had the great idea of putting all this safety regulations. Ooo we miss the good old days when it comes about tractors, where all the tractors were manual, and there was no beeping every 3 seconds, who was so smart to think that you can correct drivers by putting those features on the semi. It is sad what is going on in the tractor industry.
Fuel economy is fantastic, but honest all this lane daparture, collision avoidance and adaptive cruise is the furthest thing from safety ever. Try driving in Canadian winters with that garbage. The sensors get covered with ice and salt, set off the error faults and guess what, no abs, no traction control, no cruise control, brakes locking up on ice, everything safety is no longer operational. Nothing but an accident waiting to happen. Ad that to new unexpierienced drivers, disaster. Not to mention the brakes slamming on ,on an interstate at 65mph because the trucks adaptive cruise thinks your on a 30mph off ramp when your clearly not. Absolute garbage no other way aroud it. It should be outlawed
In my first cascadia and yup, slammed on the brakes on me on the trans canada. I was empty, thank christ dry road but scared the crap outta me. Hate all this crap, remove it, this is not SAFE at all. What would be safe is stop hanging out class 1 to people who can not drive!
@@wizard_of_poz4413 my only dislike with freightliner is that they are built in Mexico and the Cascadia has a fiberglass body. If they were made in the USA and had military grade aluminum bodies and Detroit had metal oil pans on the DD series and not fiberglass I'd get a Western star 49x with dual mufflers and manual transmission
I can already hear all the annoying notification this truck is going to be giving you really won’t be able to do NOTHING! Without something buzzing or chiming 😒😒 you can tell these people have NEVER! Driven a truck
Is this design going to be standard? I know they still offered the previous design until the end of 2019 when they came out with the new design in 2017
A great implosion of world population is being engineered by the elites of the world. This regress to automation will fortunately reduce the population of these arrogant fools too.
I was planning on buying one of these but none of the dealers had any in stock. I don't understand why they put out a video and still don't have any available for purchase. I ended up buying a Peterbilt. I even called the Freightliner corporate office and the dumbascrap person could not even tell me anything. He said that i had to talk to a local dealer. . Freightliner is so stupid to show off something but can't even deliver
I drive a western star cascadia. Horrible interior layout and ugly on the outside unfortunately with a Detroit diesel. Why did you have to ruin a good truck to make it a piece of shit freightliner?
These 'safety' features are just engineers playthings.....they are downright dangerous....winter roads in Canada/US you do not want any surprise braking incidents. Unless this can be disabled its a hard pass from me!
Worked for Freightliner dealer for 25 years...if this all works, great! if it needs fixing, at a $200/hour labor rate, take out a mortgage!
Any smart owner isn’t taking his out of warranty truck to the dealer

Mine is at the dealer.
Good looking truck , same cab since 2006 it looks like
Possibly one of the best cabins out there

Don't forget bridge shadows. Mine likes those.

Another new model dealers cannot fix or maintain and no manufacturer support.
Yea ok don't get a peterbilt then
They make these video's showing off the truck. Unfortunately, i haven't found a dealer that has any trucks equipped the way shown here.
5th generation Cascadia starts in 2026 model year, they'll be available for order middle of next year
I dont need snart truck. I already got smart phone. I just need normal truck's. 😂

i am not buying this shit… i love manual easy trucks
I prefer manual as well. I'm leaning towards a Peterbilt if I get my own truck
You can spec a brand new freightliner with an 18 speed but we all know yall are too broke

Great looking Truck but, is that the condenser I see thru that "grill"?
Seems if that's left open like that, it will need to be replaced often.
Oh my lord not a cooler that's at the front of a moving vehicle like we've had for 100 years?
Красивый грузовик! У меня 2018го года, тоже красивый! Можно поменять капот и бампер с фарами. Будет как 2025 года.
Can I have permission to use this in a segment of one of my VLOGs? I will, of course, give credit to your channel.
Frick i enjoy freightliner. When I'm behind the wheel totally locked in . But Frick those error messages is a pain in the butt
How about how they lock the breaks when they see shadows….totally not dangerous going 70 mph on the interstate
Well, it's comming closer, but l'd still go for a Mercedes-Benz Actros
End of drivers 😢😢😢😢

cool bumper. How often will it need to be repaired?

Loaded electronics shaking and bumping down the road, just starving to head towards dealership at 200 an hour.
Whats new anything change in windows air flow volume so high anything chnge in engine
I like to get this truck
Definitely some impressive improvements, especially safety specifics.
DT12 is still two to six gears lacking for real increases in efficiency.
too low clearance for usa broken roads
More sensor, more headache
truckers HATE the safety nannies. all those goddam chiming sounds
The more tech the more goes wrong and the more time real drivers lose.
So apparently they put the money in the features and still going with the Janky DD15 motors...........Based on the motor alone I'll pass.
Facelifting nothing more, but good advertisement
Nyuu cascadia enuff modern

So it's going to be even more difficult to drive than the bullshit now
More "safety" stuff so new drivers can continue to be on their phones and have their left foot on the dash. Guarantee it'll still ride like shit
new hood?😢 Mercedes help them make a good and new truck!!!
Driver impeding features 😂
No body wants to hear alarms going off everytime a car passes you, or if you go over the white line. Won't buy this.
And some non English speaking trucker will trash it in under a week
Well I'm hard.
older trucks are better
I hate the detriots
Weak truck, 2.23 ratio☠️ still a freight shaker and forever be inferior to both peterbilt and international
Posing or making cash...give be a Detroit any time?(though International is teaming up with Scania, let's see where that goes,a V8 please?).
And especially KENWORTH
