@winnipegfiredep I drove it from Ft.Drum NY, to Ft.Monmouth NJ for training, we all took shifts and it was pretty hairy on the Jersey Turnpike going through the booths! Not to mention you need to pay attention to the weight restrictions, it weighs in over 77,000 lbs!

@vtunimog If memory serves me correct, fully loaded with all the tools, hose and extrication equipment, It was $750,000.00! I was an NCO on this truck and had to sign the property book for it.

This truck replaced our old MACI 2500L crash/structural trucks. Its alot bigger, holds more water, bigger pump, and has an enclosed cab for all our soldiers. I believe they tested these in Yuma AZ, but not sure. Obviously it's not red to remain "Tactical" however the red flashing lights dont help with that. It can be used for structural, aircraft, and wildland firefighting. Kind of a pain to re-pack hose, and it weighs in at about 77,000lbs, she's a beast!

[ginoginoako]

so why is it not red?

ain't fire trucks supposed to be red? :)

[spentacle]

@WernerKlorand That was more likely to be a deliberate stop and restart on the steep hill, NOT a fail.

Standard test.

@8wd222333 whats the name of the music? and great video!!! im a volunteer firefighter but i´ve never seen a fire engine like this !!!

Oshkosh - designed to look dangerous...

Red flashlights, but fails on the steeper slope. I bet it's got speakers playing the music from this video, to make it sound dramatic...
