Freightliner Trucks Discussion Thread

I don't know why, but to me Cascadia looks the most plain and boring out of all aero trucks, at least of those that are in the game. Even the 57X, that shares most of the stuff with the Cascadia, somehow looks more interesting.

Think you said that already.

Sorry about that. Forgot to add that for the last few days I was trying to give it more personality and make it more interesting for myself. So far I failed. So I'm a little frustrated.

I'm curious about the what the next Cascadia design would be like, years from now I guess... since the last model isn't considered as a facelift despite the fact it looks like one xD

[Pete Gaimari]

I'd like to see it get more HP.

It is a facelift, i don't care what Freightliner says, and, if they make a new truck with a new cab design, it won't be called "Cascadia".

That's not going to happen. Cummins X15 options are coming, at least according to Freightliner's website. But those will have no more than 500 HP and 1850 lb-ft.

I believe the Cascadia got a mid-model refresh. For example, Paccar considers the most recent KW T680 a mid-model refresh.

[JoeAlex23]

Freightliner considers the latest iteration of the Cascadia the "5th generation".

[rookie_one]

Yep, and the X15 that is coming look like it will be the EPA2027 version, using the Cummins HELM platform(since they also list the X15N as coming soon in there).

They will probably have some X15 performance variant (the highest rating available listed for the X15 on the current page is the 525 HP, which for current EPA24 is reserved to the Performance series), but they won't go above it, which make sense since above that, for North America, it's mostly for Vocational use nowadays, linehaul usually stay in the 400-500 HP range
