Basically the Contender, or Saber of the ARFF line, using an Arrow XT cab.


Trav!

That will take some getting used too.

Man that is a truck only a mother could love.

Is it me or is it the first time in maybe 30 years since anyone in the american market has used a municipal apparatus chassis for a ARFF rig other than the usual structure engines and ladders on am airport ? maybe someone can shed some light on this?

It kind of looks like the next star for "Transformers"

Very European looking. Easy rig for Matchbox to copy, oh wait they did!

Fell out of an ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

I still like it better than Rosenbauer's Commander

It's not that bad, it reminds me quite a bit of the crash trucks of the 1950s and early 60s,

I'd like to see one in a normal paint scheme, probably a pretty nice looking rig if so.

An industry person told me this will unfortunately be marketed Internationally, as it will not meet FAA specs here.  It meets ICAO specs, which fall under the UN.
