Got the call last week, leaving out tomorrow working my way up to Nashville, got to trade in my TRUSTY Cascadia for a NEW ProStar!
I not really thrilled about it My Cascadia has 300k on her, still rides good, still air tight, love Pre DEF ISX 425, love the 2x120 gal fuel tanks, and of course the reliable Quiet TRIPAC! I can load 45k with me in it and all my gear. Now From what I've heard and learned from speaking with drivers of the New Trucks.....The 400hp ISX is a DOG!, 62 on the pedal 65 on the cruise(Which is the DUMBIST THING AVERITT HAS COME UP WITH), it is a nose heavy truck...drivers are carrying 12300 or better in the steers, or they have to run around on 1/2 fuel, 44500lbs is about the best you could hope for. NO ROOM to put your things. The Comfort Pro APU SUCKS..Doesn't cool like it should, and is NOISEY!...along with the hassle of resetting the unit EVERY TIME.......so....we will see...I've looked them over in the past...this is the reason they are nose heavy
I am going to have the Nashville shop unbolt the Fifthwheel and slide it back to the last hole on the bottom mount, that will take the weight off the front axle and let me tweak it to get it right! If they don't do it, I'll raise enough hell to keep my Cascadia.....more to come......
