If you look at the tillers Pierce builds, there is an extra tractor compartment add right behind the cab if the truck has the IFS. It doesn't matter what cab it is. I don't have photos to show but look at the Baltimore tillers, They will have the narrow 11" compartment and then the standard tractor compartment of about 33" . Compare it to the Charleston SC tiller that deleted the IFS to keep the truck shorter. I can't remember off the top of my head what exactly the reason for it is but it has to due with components of the IFS I will ask our rep again and get the complete answer.. We have been working on a tiller spec for about a year now and the tractor compartment has been the most work as we are trying to get the most usable space possible out of it.

The new Pierce Arrow XT Tillers are still being constructed. Last I heard was that it would prob be toward the end of the year before they were on the street.

Question about tillers. Are they just like a normal tractor trailer? Can you swap the tractors and the trailers or are they meant to only work together? Could you hook it up to a regular tractor?
Los Angeles Fire Dept - Juice - 05-12-2015
No, they're on a completely different style of hookup, not a fifth wheel like a semi. Once the tractor and trailer are together, a pin is slid in to lock them together.
Trav!

On the back of Engine 56, what are the steps that look like horseshoes (U shaped) or is that a whole step and my eyes are not seeing it right

Those are brackets to hold the hose for quick deployment in a wildland fire
Someone has a better explanation in this post:
