Detroit Diesel DT12 Test Drive: Pt.3 - An Easy Walk Up a Big Hill

In the afternoon portion of his day-long test drive of a Detroit DT12 equipped Cascadia, Jim spent a few hours running up and down Hunter Hill on I-80 to see how the transmission's two modes - performance and economy - differed (if at all) in how they handled the hill's steep 6% grade.

Did I overlook it, what engine is used in this truck?

[@todt061458]

No matter if we are ready for it or not. Volvo, Freightliner, KW etc the future is now. Automated transmissions are here to stay.

[@FRWD_FXLRST]

you can get a work station in a Cascadia? So, in conclusion is it smarter than i-shift?
