Take a tour of the most comfortable heavy duty truck on the road today, the Cascadia. This has countless comforts for drivers, from easy-to-turn handles and knobs to wider doors that allow drivers to easily enter and exit the truck. Our truck designers have thought of everything, taking noise control, temperate control, and seat comfort into account. The factors that contribute to the Cascadia being the most heavy duty truck on the market include:
- Seat enhancements
- Quieter cabs
- Improved sleeping space
- Easy-to-use dash
Our seat enhancements were designed to accommodate drivers of all shapes and sizes. The Cascadia’s seats are two inches bigger than the standard industry seats. We also allowed the drivers to have plenty of room by putting 24″ between each seat. You can even take our seat enhancements up a notch with our optional features such as:
- Heated seats
- Swivel and three way bolster
- A tilting, telescoping steering wheel
Creating quieter cabs was a huge milestone for the designers at Freightliner. They investigated how to reduce engine noise and put an end to wind noise utilizing Daimler Trucks North America’s innovative wind tunnel for testing. They also used the latest in electronic sonar technology to pinpoint and eliminate all the squeaks and rattles that annoy and potentially distract drivers. What they came up with was a quiet cab that lowered the audible vibration frequency by 50 percent, therefore allowed drivers to stay focused when they are driving and relax when they should be resting.
Our improved sleeping space is a huge part of what makes the Cascadia one of the most comfortable heavy duty trucks. Freightliner Trucks is focused on safety for not only the driver, but for the driving partner who is sleeping. Drivers who are more rested have a quicker reaction time while driving, which means safer conditions for everyone on the road. We added the following enhancements to ensure that your drivers get the sleep they need to perform:
- Stiff, curved cab walls to reduce vibration noise
- Noise-dampening insulation
- Plush mattress that is 40″ wide x 80″ long
Those who invest in the most comfortable heavy duty trucks ensure that not only their drivers are comfortable, but they are alert as well. To learn more about the Cascadia or any of our other truck models, contact a Freightliner dealer.
