That, and how it's determined what makes a certain "type" of Ambulance; Type I, Type II, Type III

 

The Wildland I will leave to others as it has to do with water on board and I think pumps.

 

The Ambulances are fairly easy.  (Watered down by eye sight version below - technically GVW has a say in determining this as well.)

 

Type I = Most pickup chassis basically if the box and chassis are not physically attached besides by a bellows it's a type I

Type II = Van's and yes sometimes station wagons without a module/box (There are at least two Suburban SUV Type II in Wyoming and I've heard of possibly two Volvo's in Montana at mine sites)

Type III = Most any van chassis with module/box that are attached together just behind the chassis doors

 

Now to muddy the waters some more you also have AD = Additional Duty (or Medium Duty) which tend to be any chassis above a F-450 series.

 

You can also have a pickup chassis with module/box that's a type III.
