Freightliner Cascadia 116/126 Dash Acc.

Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner Cascadia 116/126 Dash Accessories

Will these dash accessories fit my specific Cascadia model year?

Our dash accessories are designed to fit Freightliner Cascadia 116 and 126 models from 2018 to present. The 2018+ Cascadia features a redesigned dashboard layout, so accessories for these models will not fit pre-2018 Cascadias. Always verify your truck's model year and whether you have a 116 (day cab) or 126 (sleeper) configuration before ordering, as some accessories are model-specific.

What materials are used in these dash accessories, and how durable are they?

Most of our Cascadia dash accessories are manufactured from high-grade ABS plastic or chrome-plated materials that are UV-resistant and designed to withstand temperature extremes inside the cab. Chrome accessories feature a triple-plating process for longevity, while plastic components are injection-molded for consistent quality. These materials typically last 5-7 years with normal use before showing signs of wear.

Do I need special tools or professional installation for dash accessories?

The majority of our dash accessories install using existing mounting points or high-strength automotive adhesive tape (usually included). Basic hand tools like screwdrivers and trim removal tools are typically sufficient. Most installations take 15-30 minutes per piece. However, accessories involving electrical connections, such as LED accent lighting, may require basic wiring knowledge or professional installation to maintain warranty coverage.

What finish options are available, and which matches the factory interior best?

We offer dash accessories in chrome, brushed aluminum, gloss black, and matte black finishes. For 2018-2021 Cascadias with the standard gray interior, chrome or brushed aluminum typically provides the best match. For 2022+ models with the darker Premium interior package, gloss or matte black accessories blend more seamlessly. Check your interior trim color before selecting a finish.

Are these accessories compatible with factory-installed options like the Detroit Assurance system?

Yes, our dash accessories are designed to work around factory equipment including the Detroit Assurance radar unit, ParkSmart HVAC systems, and factory GPS mounts. However, some larger accessories like full dash panels may require minor modifications if your truck has non-standard dealer-installed equipment. Always check clearances around your existing dash components before installation.
