Outstanding! An old Mack R tanker, I wish our tanker was half as bad ass as that rig right there. We've got a Freightshaker FL112 with an 1800 gallon tank. Not much water for a tanker if you ask me, but it gets the job done. Got a big 475HP Cat under the hood too.
I love it anytime I see a Mack still in service - be it a Mack R or a CF or what have you. I recall the days when almost every department had atleast one Mack. Many - including FDNY - had ALL Macks. I wish Mack still had a dedicated fire apparatus. I miss seeing the bulldog hood ornaments.
@WCAT101 the next town overr frommus has a mack R tanker thay has 2500 gallons just it is a wetside tanker not an eliptical ike the one in this vid. They also got a Mack CF rescue engine.
That truck would probably accelerate that much faster if it had an automatic transmission. But I know Elmhurst is in the mountains of NE Pennsylvania so I'm sure that stick comes in very handy for their hills.
i love this video over all other tanker videos. the mack sounds is amazing

driving a tanker to a fire, that's gotta slosh around a lot. probably not a very fast response.
