Description
Up for auction is a 2018 Freightliner Cascadia 126 Sleeper Tractor, a well-equipped over-the-road truck powered by the highly desirable Detroit DD15 engine and paired with the Detroit DT12 automated manual transmission.
The Freightliner Cascadia has become one of the most popular Class 8 tractors in North America due to its fuel efficiency, driver comfort, ease of service, and widespread dealer support network. The DD15/DT12 drivetrain combination is especially sought after by fleets and owner-operators for its proven reliability and fuel economy.
This truck is showing under 600,000 miles and presents well overall. The exterior appearance is clean and professional, making it a strong candidate for an owner-operator, fleet expansion, export buyer, or repair facility looking for a late-model truck with substantial remaining service life.
The seller reports that the truck is currently in engine derate related to the emissions/aftertreatment system. The truck will require diagnosis and repair of the emissions-related issue before returning to normal service. Buyers are encouraged to inspect the truck and perform their own evaluation regarding the nature and extent of repairs required.
For buyers familiar with modern emissions systems, this presents an opportunity to purchase a late-model Cascadia at auction pricing and complete repairs according to their own specifications.
