2024 Freightliner Cascadia Sleeper: Unveiling New Features and Walk-Around Review

Where is blinking fluid reservoir?

[@HERRUTUTT]

Exactly

[@todddurante8553]

I been in a 2024 for a few weeks now. Not any different from the 2022 I was in other than black interior accents that used to be grey

[@guybuddyman838]

sorry to see that space under the bunk is occupied by apu. thats where is store my blow up doll.

[@bobboy5508]

Lol

[@dancalvano8702]

I didn’t realize the small amount of drag created by the wind visor was so harmful to the planet

[@robertrichardson54]

Yeah, they’re a bunch of dopes

[@rburroughs1077]

Even he had a SMH look on his face when he said it. I'd imagine his presentation was created by some hipster d-bag at DTNA corporate in Portlandia.

[@MS-ql8ek]

According to freightliner they say reducing drag helps the environment from wind pollution and prevents birds and bugs from getting in front of you when you drive 😂😂😂, like a car salesman they just spit whatever bullshit to sell people vehicles

[@rburroughs1077]

I paid cash for a used 2019 Cascadia. I average 8.7 MPG. It's got the most reliable emissions system and cheapest parts of any truck on the road. I have Diagnostics Link thru DTNA on my laptop so I can troubleshoot and clear or fix almost any fault on the road and change parameters at will myself. It's the Toyota Camry of trucks. It consistently and significantly increases my profit margin which should be the goal of anyone in business. I don't have a visor on my truck and wouldn't want one. Not for aerodynamic reasons, but because they look effing ridiculous.

[@BM-if9zn]

the BS gets more unbelievable as the days go by

[@srtking5500000000000]

Wow 🤩 so many new features, I’m amazed 🤪

[@armandoreyes2750]

They made that truck as plain and boring as possible.

[@rickkuehl422]

I have the 2022 cascadia 12 speed auto and let me tell you its garbage. The 400 hp model just has no power. No power to climb or pass. SFI specs these trucks to be barebones. Interior is low quality. For $160k truck you expect better. Mine comes with that stupid onguard that sits smack dab in the center of the windshield which is a serious design flaw. It blocks your vision.

[@billcoley4426]

When did SFI start ordering 400hp spec engines? My 2022 from them had a 450/1750 spec engine.

[@rickkuehl422]

Apparently, they have been going even lower in an "attempt" to get better fuel economy numbers. Which, by the way I don't see anyway.

[@AC-ir3od]

I considered an SFI truck when I first became an O/O but I didn't like their trucks and the Terms so I went to a dealer where I got exactly what I wanted with no stupid "extras".

[@mikelarry7521]

I love pulling reports on guys like you who bitch about how the fuel mileage sucks and see you use cruise control like 20% of the time.

[@rickkuehl422]

@mikelarry7521 if you go 70-75 mph cruise control is just not feasible. You are passing all the time. Now if your a 65 driver like 90% yes you can use cruise. The mileage is only one complaint I have.

[@barrettpickett5603]

I have a company truck and only see very minor changes. Soft closing hood. And a plug in USB. This is wild that they haven't changed hardly anything. I guess that's saying something.

[@posstalionbojarskiy9455]

Guys, where is CLDS(switch off/on the power) is located in Freightliner Cascadia 2022?

[@mikelarry7521]

next to the driverside seat if ordered with one.

[@michaelrocker9000]

Not a bad rig however I would have gone with the #GreenAPU It weighs less than the Tripac and has a built in condenser. There is no ugly looking fan on the back of the sleeper. It uses less fuel per hour. It comes with a 3 year factory warranty. It's also quieter. It also costs less. The best part is that it's user friendly and replacement parts can be bought at any auto parts store.

[@KeelOvisioN]

Looks just like my 2019 Cascadia

[@sandasturner9529]

That wind deflector doesn't stop bees from hitting me in the face 👀 lol

[@jordanw1649]

Removed the outside sun reflector?

[@JS-jv6rg]

You should of left the sun visor or add window tint to act as a shade like a sun visor. Remove the wind deflectors they create turbulence and make water dance around the side windows, leaves them dirty when it dries.

[@Affordableframe]

What is the price?

[@reversingglobalwarming9431]

Best Designed Truck ❤️

[@PrasadKoranne-n8w]

Brake suspension fluids can be improvised in near future ❤❤❤❤❤❤from the core of my heart🎉Nemesis😊 Peterbuilt may give tough competiion though

[@darylb5564]

I drive a Cascadia. They do a lot right and some little things crazy wrong. They should really ask a driver what they are doing wrong and fix it. It’s surprising that they don’t test them before they put them in production

[@nautilus444]

Thanks for your input I appreciate it. Have a good day. 😁

[@micahweeks9459]

My company only got me the DD12. I'm doing 30 mph uphill. 😂

[@andrewbennett7756]

Great engine

[@IanHimself28]

Spend a few more dollars for the digital screens and appleplay, I love my 2023. Looks a decade newer than this base spec that their demoing here.

[@FaZeredemption3]

For real. Its not that much more

[@alekslav84]

Nice truck! Any difference from 2017 or all same? Did not see anything different

[@void308]

Are you high? Lol

[@cheapspace]

why isnt there an easy way to fold these mirrors??

[@cotjocky466]

Outside of the double USB C slots in the top 12v dash socket, I see absolutely zero changes over my 23 (can't say I know anything about the engine specs).

[@havenisse2009]

Step op compared to how North American trucks typically look like. But a long way from a modern Scania or Mercedes Actros. Where is the full LED dashboard with touch and navi ? The huge integrated fridge and storage boxes ? Wireless charging of devices ?

[@letd1995]

So exactly the same as a 2019 except for usb c lol

[@andrewbennett7756]

Great hood closing and opening

[@jaminova_1969]

How do I turn off the lane assist and keep it off? And how do I connect my BT phone and keep it connected? Also, good job on the door Ajar alarm. I thought we were under nuclear attack Defcon 5! Also, not as smooth as the Volvo, but much better forward visibility! 3600 miles on the company truck and the automatic trans sounds like it is going to implode. Is that normal?

[@Blacktopcowboy]

So does it still shake violently after 500k?

[@robertrichardson54]

Even better they vibrate and rattle as soon as you buy them. No charge!

[@Blacktopcowboy]

@@robertrichardson54 perfection

[@preppertrucker5736]

At 500k nobody cares because mega carriers get rid of them at 350-400k…. Buy at your own risk💀💀💀

[@luisrepreza8080]

Ohh that's just a safety feature to make sure you're awake at the wheel lol

My 2017 has no shakes or rattles. If your does, change all shocks and get an alignment.

what difference between Freightliner and Volvo ?

[@hs7382]

Why he didn't mention optional digital dash ? Do 2024 model has digital dash option ?

[@bobboy5508]

I was most interested in the sleeper. And nothing. No mention of anything about the sleeper. Must be unremarkable then.

[@rickkuehl422]

The bed they provide is garbage. Basically throw it away.

[@thomaskirkpatrick4031]

No huge changes. Oh except for the price tag. That truck looks no different than my 2020, other than $30,000 more in cost, maybe more?

[@waynerichter3190]

Do these have SiriusXM radios?

[@nicholas8793]

Funny how there has been no availability to order a Cascadia for an O/O for the last 2-3 years yet ET and other fleets has no issue securing allocations….

[@michaelcopeland8985]

Simple, if you made a product, would you either A. Sell me one a year, or B. Sell 30 to E.T a year?

[@firstamendmenttshirt4768]

​@michaelcopeland8985 I would sell to both, and if the freightliner can't do that, their priority is not the family.

[@michaelcopeland8985]

@firstamendmenttshirt4768 unfortunately most big companies don't care about the small family, it's the bottom dollar what matters. And a guarentee big check is better then a maybe small one.

[@firstamendmenttshirt4768]

@michaelcopeland8985 I might buy one, but they like to dick me around so I can tell kenworth pererbilt Volvo to go eat shit, oh and mack. Yes, I already know how much they hate the owner operator.

Perhaps lower spot rate and high interest rates and higher fuel costs..

[@outsidegamez]

im a 1year cr england driver .. can you put me in a truck

[@adambennett2176]

Can i have one??

[@granularSodacan]

Have any of you used these solar panel equipped trucks? I've used solar panels on my home in winter and they're pretty useless in Canada. With the sun low on the horizon you get fewer hours of charging with less intense sunlight so I'd imagine with a truck it'd be even more impractical as the odds of you being parked in the daytime and facing the sun are likely slim. Seems like the increase of aerodynamic drag from the panels would end up costing more, not to mention the tendency of flexible panels to degrade over a short period. I want "renewable" energy to be viable but in my experience, it's far from being so. Would love to hear from people using these solar setups...has it been worthwhile?

[@barrettpickett5603]

I had an international with the solar panel. What is cool is it keeps the batteries charged. But unlike this video you can't jump start your truck or help out because of the extra juice.

[@claudethony]

Digital display I guess it’s optional not standard

[@samo8204]

Would you be willing to share your build specs with me?

[@user-qx3lm4vw6e]

Who provides the bag to wear over your head so that no one sees you in a Freighter? Detroit has never made a reliable engine brake. But what do you expect from an iron anchor that must be idled at no less than 1000 rpm to maintain oil pressure?

[@alexmaclean1]

This truck is the" beige Camry " of the truck world. Boring as sin but gets the job done.

Juat got a 2024 freightliner cascadia 2000mi I drove it for less than 500mi and engine lifgt on. Called customer service to check on warranty and they are telling me truck has absolubtely no warranty. It doent make sence I figure it should have manufacturers warranty. So becarefull buyers what this sales people sales to you.

[@BrianKFranks]

I don't really see any difference between this and the 2019.

[@6582rg]

Very nice rig. Some guys seem to think their manhood is somehow connected to a manual shifter. No one can select the right gear better than a computer. It's a simple fact. I have yet to see one female trucker complain about an automated transmission.

[@billcoley4426]

I could count multiple times daily that the computer picked the wrong gear when I drove an auto Cascadia. Now that I have a 13 speed, it's always in the right gear.

[@jasonunger2776]

My guy, that is by no means a fact. If your hauling vans on the highway on a nice day then sure, but I pulled super bs (126,000+ lbs) with an auto and I always had it in manual mode otherwise it would shift way to low and lug

[@void308]

@TTB3076 autos better than manuals? Never. I'll shift till I die. Fuck automatics.

[@Saddletramp1200]

I'm one of the last truck drivers. I loved my Freightliner. No clutch or shifter, its not a truck. No front visor, not a truck. Like the sleeper.

29 years. If your trying to make fun of me, keep tryin'. @@granularSodacan

[@honda900000]

Youre not one of the last truckers. Youre just an american truck driver who believe, that a long hood, a manuall transmission and chrome is the best Amercia has ever deveolped. And its true, because America is so much behind in everything. I always laugh about people who say: I need a clutch, a visor for being a real truck. People on other contients a decades ahead. And have freedom, too.

[@mickglenn3531]

I was curious about your company videos,, u give great information and for the most part it appears that u guys are for the drivers,,, I call foul,,, as all the rest u changed trucks to help YOUR bottom line,,, dont get me wrong I understand but dont say your for drivers when u didnt take them into account when u changed from comfortable volvo trucks to cheap\ rattle / master freight liners..

[@raybrown6905]

Hopefully better steering than 2023 cascadia. Mine came from the factory steering 10 to 2 terrible for a new truck. Still trying to get fixed or replaced steering box. Also mine not electronic. Is the 2024 cascadia trucks electronic steering? Miss the kenworth 680.

Back in 2008 had a Western Star, governed at 62mph, with identical feature to passSmart that would give an extra 5 mph to pass slower vehicles and then disengage after a few minutes. You couldn't use it again until another 15 minutes have elapsed. That feature was great, take stress out passing especially having a slow truck trying to pass a slower truck or RV and not backing up traffic making people behinds angry at you. I thinks it's a safety feature and should be incorporated in every governed trucks.
