FDIC 2013 - From the show floor

[firetdriver_99]

Thanks for the compliments fellas, I really appreciate it.


One thing I'm quickly learning about the Commander cabs: people either love 'em or hate 'em! It's neat to hear different folks reactions to the design.


When we were in Minnesota a couple of months ago, about 515+/- Commanders had been ordered since their introduction. 318+/- if those are slated for Saudi Arabia.


Anyway, enough with that. ;-)


The Kronenburg bodies are part of the Plastisol group out of New York. Alan Saulbury was associated with them at one time.


Any more questions, just ask...

I am kind of on the fence I don't hate them but I am not particularly fond of them either. I like the version with the single round headlight better better than the double squares sorry but to me that version has way too much chrome on the front. I agree with keiferfire I am not sure I would call 500+ orders the first year its out a failure. As far as ugly and I am sure I am going to get a lot of hate mail on this one but I think by far Sutphen cabs are the ugliest of all and always have been at least since I have been in the fire service some 32 years. I do like the new Impel and Velocity and the E\-One quest for the newer designs and while I like the cab itself the Quantum isn't very nice to the eye anyway, very functional and roomy but ugly.

 

Probably the best looking vehicle in my opinion was the Timberline Timberwolf's I love the color combination on them.
