Engines/Pumpers

Now I know that there are many many different setups/designs out there but I was wondering what everyones department uses for frontline pumpers/engines. We have a 2000 Pierce Contender. 1250gpm PTO Driven Pump (driver side controls), 1000 Gallom Tank, The Usual compliment of hoses and ladders. The truck is a Regular (Three man Cab) and a short wheelbase. One of or Mutual Aid Departments to the south has a Contender Pumper with a 1250 Gallon Tank a 1500 GPM pump and a top mount pump. However the difference between us is that they have Hydrants and wider roads/driveways then Us. We have 225 Sq Miles of Cabins, Forest, County Forest roads, Unimproved roads/driveways.Of all the calls in our three townships the majority of them happen down the longest roughest driveway/road around. Sorry for Rambling on.... Lets just talk Trucks... Justin out,
