My department has bought units from the "best" manufacturers throughout the years and I have worked on all types of rigs in a past life and I can say they all have issues. I take "service after the sale" and a manufacturer's willingness to fix issues quickly and admit the mistake as a buying decision on rigs.
Truckman I agree that all the factories are all the same

Dr. you hit the nail on the head with service after the sale. With all of the electronics and EPA crap, etc. all apparatus will have problems. Our last piece was purchased in 2004 (a Pierce) and its had its issues and continues to have issues. Other departments have had issues with Crimson, Ferrara and E\-One. Our next piece will more than likely be a Pierce because their service center is 15 minutes away and when you call, a technician is in the firehouse within the hour to diagnose and fix the problem on site if possible. This reduces downtime dramatically. All I as a consumer ask for is service.
