Quote:Agreed just lose a little compartment space with a smaller truck but you can get it anywhere. I understand a few other MFG's will be offering their own 100' SA trucks soon.
Actually, I would almost argue (I mean politely discuss :-) there is more compartment space....lose the tandem axle and lose the pump and tank, and you have rescue style comparts that are deep and high. The truck is shorter by 4? feet but you gain a lot of space that you cant with a quint....the upper compartments on most quints are only 12 to 14 inches deep versus 28 or so on the metro...
I am considering this truck as an option for my dept so I would love to hear discussion points....even if they are negative. A decision made without both sides of an argument is a bad start...:-)
