I can tell you, the lack of room for the officer in the XT versus the Velocity and the Quantum is VERY noticeable. The XT is the last remaining 96" wide cab that Pierce makes, and the loss of those couple of inches make a lot of difference, especially when the officer's trying to don an airpack.
Just my humble opinion after weighing the good and the bad of all of the Pierce cabs.

I fully understand your point Taylor, as a big guy myself, I would like the extra few inches......however, and there is always a however. However, in todays day of safety while responding, you can't be belted in while donning an airpac....that should probably wait until your on-scene. I love raised roof cabs but come on they can promote unsafe practices while enroute.
