The 2019 Freightliner Cascadia 126 (VIN: 3AKJHHDR6KSKC5117) is a Class 8 heavy-duty commercial sleeper tractor manufactured by Daimler Vehicles Commercial Mexico in January 2018. Built on a 3-axle 6x4 drive configuration with a 237-inch wheelbase and left-hand drive layout, it carries a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 52,350 lbs (12,350 lb front steer / 40,000 lb rear tandem axles) and an unladen kerb weight of 23,745 lbs. It is powered by a 14.8L Detroit DD15 inline-6 turbo-diesel engine producing 505 horsepower at 1,625 RPM, paired with a 12-speed Detroit DT12 automated manual transmission featuring a 14.56-0.78 OD / 18.80-1.00 DD gear ratio range. Mechanical equipment includes an air brake system, air ride suspension, differential locks, a JOST air-sliding fifth wheel, dual diesel fuel tanks, and a 2018 emissions-compliant exhaust system. Finished in blue exterior paint, it rides on 295/75R22.5 commercial tires with 9 aluminum wheels and 1 steel wheel on the right-front steer position. The 72-inch double-bunk sleeper cabin features two beds, cloth seating upholstery, overhead cabinets, air conditioning, collision mitigation technology, a digital instrument cluster, and an Espar diesel-powered auxiliary power unit (APU) heater.

Evaluated in poor overall condition with an odometer reading of 1,462,280 miles, this unit serves as a prime candidate for a dedicated rebuild or project truck buyer. Following a recent battery installation, the engine starts but stalls after approximately 20 seconds, with current diagnostics pointing toward a potential engine replacement due to active misfire codes, widespread oil leaks, and extensive coolant leaks throughout the bay. The body and running gear also require attention, featuring panels secured with non-standard tap screws, mismatched steer tires with irregular wear, and mismatched drive tires showing uneven tread wear on the axle 2 left-rear inside and axle 3 left-rear outside positions. For a buyer or fleet willing to invest in a full powertrain overhaul, bodywork, and tire replacement, the core Cascadia chassis, high-horsepower DD15 platform, and double-bunk sleeper cabin offer a solid structural foundation to rebuild into a functioning heavy-haul unit.
