I noticed the Ladders are Velocity with Code Three Screaming Eagle Sirens but the PUC is an Arrow XT with a Q siren. Why the differnce, just interested? Look like really nices rigs love the retro light bar, although Engine and Rescue Three are super sharp.
Off the Subject, does anyone think the Federal Signal Power Light could return with PAR 36 LED bulbs? I miss the days of standing up or sitting down with the soft spin red and white power light hitting the night with the Q siren wrapped-out, good times.

Less Plastic on the Dashboard and engine cowlings for One......and the electronics.....the Velocity is going to be a nightmare for chasing electrical problems with all the I/O modules all over the truck and a VERY complicated electronics panel in the Officer's footwell area....XT is much more ruggedized and simpler electronics......Most of us that run calls all day want RUGGEDIZED - METAL interiors...NOT Cheep vacuumed formed plastic...Arrow XT is the way to go....The XT/PUC combo used by Miami Dade is a great combination in my opinion....I just bought a Velocity....The guys love it...great ride....QUIET as hell.....but next one will be an XT.
