Back on the archived board, I started a thread following the build of this truck from start of manufacturing to completetion. It is a custom built 2010 Pierce Arrow XT Heavy Duty Rescue Pumper.
Tomorrow the truck goes into service (even though we may have already taken it on a few calls :lol: ). We put a tremendous amount of time, effort, thought and planning into the design of the truck. It took us approximately 3 months to get the truck dialed in to where we wanted it with lots of back and forth feedback between us and Pierce. The result is an amazingly well laid out engine and probably one of the best fire trucks I have ever seen. Luckily, the budget was not a problem for us, which in the end is what really lead to the truck we now have. I am not going to list everything on it here because it would be just about damn near impossible and I think everything should be explanatory for the most part. However, if you have questions, please ask. My only gripe about this truck is the flash patterns not being synced on the rear and sides of the truck, but I think I can live with that. Enjoy!
