I drive a T680 and haven't experienced delayed throttle or sponginess. Is it a 13 speed? I drove a Cascadia before this and honestly haven't noticed all that much of a difference in turning radius or backing. I would keep the KW if you like it more, but I'm biased as I prefer the KW a lot more myself.
My dream truck is the Cascadia, but I all I did was the research and never drove one. The Cascadia is design for fuel economy and better maintenance costs. The amenities such as multiple outlets for electronics, less vibration noise by 50%, sound insulation for noise reduction while sleeping, and the spacious room. An optional battery power HVAC without idling to comply with no idling laws. I can't wait to test it out on the road when I can get my hands on one.

So I used to drive a cascadia, I just went to Werner and got a brand new 680, it's such a nice truck. Problem is I hate the sponginess in the shifting and the throttle seems delayed. I love the shifting in the cascadia but they're not as nice. I'm going to be running new York city, so as far a turning radius and overall size, what would be my best bet? Opinions?
