The new Freightliner Cascadia



Well, here she is sat outside H&R. Sadly she is not mine.
I have gone back to work in a different truck and am going to Waterloo in Iowa. 3929 was in a terrible state when I called at Freightliner to collect some essentials to see me over the next week or so.
Onto the Cascadia. Visibly from the outside she is more streamlined but is actually wider across the cab. The interior is very nice and the lockers now have doors on them rather than restraining nets. The dash is a bit dull but there have been improvements in storage and overall if all the hype is to be believed then its a good truck. We now have insulation around the cab but the floors have been neglected so if you get one of these trucks dont forget to buy some slippers for the winter months

Hi, she doesnt look bad at all Andy.
The interior of the truck is like a cream colour with wood effect trim but the dash is black plastic which makes it look lifeless and the clocks are too small. Its functional and the switches have been moved about for easier reach but its so dull.
