The DD 15 is what really makes the truck Detroit motors a very reliable they’re made by Mercedes. A lot of people don’t know that they’re cheaper on parts than Cummins or Volvo. They’re good on fuel and they got plenty of power. Steering radius is on point I just wish they made the bunk just a little bit bigger with more cabin. Spaceand more cigarette outlets it’s the truck I go to it just makes sense
It’s all about the engine I don’t care about the luxury or futures or if it’s diferente from past years. It get the job done with less problems parts are cheap than the rest. It make me money
The only thing that really matters is the engines' new emission equipment. What's new. How long will it last before breaking... How much does it cost to fix ?
@rayreyes977 maintenance is always important. The more emissions equipment added, the more maintenance required. The more the cost, the less reliable and less efficient the engine. The question is how much cleaner is the air coming out of the tail pipe, and is it worth the price... This is the most important question going forward.
@rayreyes977 Anything CARB dreams up that takes the US closer to a "clean air US" They want zero emissions by 2035, so every internal combustion engine on the road is out of compliance. You can't maintain any ICE engine to be clean enough when it has to be zero. Any 2025 commercial truck sold (except Tesla and a few other zero emissions trucks) is obsolete already. The writing is on the wall.
Here in Australia the Cascadia and DD15 engine are regarded as light duty crap. Any decent weight or tough conditions and the Cascadia is just not up to it. American highways only. Would not have one on a bet. Got to be Kenworth or Mack.
Its not a manual transmission, there's no visor, no exhaust stacks. Why are the exhaust pipe under the trucks lately ? In my opinion, I believe one of the major reasons why the trucking industry is not as good as back in the day's is because these new trucks are not manual anymore. Because these trucks are automatic, it makes it super easy for anyone to get their cdl. These new generation of truck drivers have really changed the culture in a bad way. In my opinion. Every time I see these drivers wearing flip-flops, I get disgusted !!!! I've never seen this before. It looks so unprofessional. It's really sad !! I feel like for the past few years, the new drivers are getting worse and worse ! With all the so called upgrades that are being put in these trucks, it feels more like a car than a semi truck.
There are no improvements that can be made to the Cascadia aerodynamically? It has not changed since the 1st generation Cascadia. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
I'd appreciate it if you check out my other channel, Urban Auto Adventures, as well th-cam.com/channels/V7y5BfPiDsui9L0hiVcMOQ.html 🙏🏻

They need a ac/ heat vent for the top bunk I see they haven’t added that yet definitely gets hot on the top bunk during the summer months
What if you open the windows a little bit? I used to do that in the summer in my volvo
Why you sleeping on top 😂
It does have a vent, only 1 tho
Theres been one up there since at least the 2022, the problem is, its just one and doesnt tie into the APU
@@trxexpresstheyre very small openings and barely give any air flow
Wow that's cool 😎
The best truck on the road, a standard for what a truck should be.
How do you get up and clean the windshield?

More specifically, it's the emissions equipment added. That is the unknown added cost factor.
I have to have a manual 13 Spd can I get one
If you could get a Detroit Diesel in a Kenworth W990 with a duel clutch Volvo i-Shift gearbox, you'd be pretty much sorted!

Maintenance should always be a priority with trucks like these

@ well let me ask you this what emissions you think that requires maintenance?
@rayreyes977 Anything CARB dreams up that takes the US closer to a "clean air US"

soooooooooo nothing different, got it.
Love freightliner but I want a Cummins
That's not the 2025 Cascadia. You can tell by the headlights and the grill and front end.
Even less space in the side storage compartment when a truck has an APU and inverter.
You can order a 2025 with a DD16 if you’d like.
that's the pre-facelift model
Here in Australia the Cascadia and DD15 engine are regarded as light duty crap. Any decent weight or tough conditions and the Cascadia is just not up to it. American highways only. Would not have one on a bet. Got to be Kenworth or Mack.
It's a flip flop rocket
Only difference is the inner dash nothing else has changed
Early 2025. This is now the last generation. The misinformation in this video is wild.
can almost drive a car through the panel gap on that hood.
What are you talking about?
@@nevergiveupnevergivein7655 theres a 3-4 inch gap between the hood and the body. looks like shit

I fully agree it makes my head go around I do care and am concerned considering I’m on disability retirement due too a permanent disability illness
Freightliner is resting on their laurels.
You have wasted time mentioning stuff we already know, get to the point of the new features bro
Nothing changed
There are no improvements that can be made to the Cascadia aerodynamically? It has not changed since the 1st generation Cascadia. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
They could have at least did a different grill design 😂
2025 2026 has been redone
😂 Freightliners 2025 cascadia placebo
Pure crap , all plastic nothings changed I have driven a brand new one since 2019.
It's such crap that you keep driving. Got it.
🥱
Road commode.
I have to have a manual 13 Spd can I get one
