Horton has built 3 TerraStar Demos as of today that I know of. One of them was at the Virginia Chiefs show last week, and another is in Baltimore at EMS Today.

Yep there are several demos out there and lots of test beds (No ambulances test beds).
None are in actual service, that's what I call a gini-pig!
I would love to see the Horton weight cert for that rig. I suspect we are going to see issues with mfg's attempting to meet acceptable front axle weight. I don't doubt that some will build a truck with little to no available front axle payload.
I can honestly say that I have told customers to not look at this chassis for at least a year or two with them in service. I don't care who's module is on the back! They don't have anything to do with whats under the module.
