Our department is looking into replacing our 1979 Dodge patrol unit. We need something not too big that can handle tight turns on a mountain side but will be used for initial responce but also used as a small rescue unit to get people down from the local hill area that has frequent calls for people on hikes that can not make it down due to heat or injury. Any suggestions on what to look at? We are located in Souther California in Riverside.

we just got an f350 (im not a ford fan)but for a wildland fuel truck it seems to be working okay just get the right tires for it, i have yet to drive it but when i do ill let you know how it works mind you ours is for fuel and towing an ATV to the fire its rearly if ever in the woods and only sometimes on a dirt road, but i would think that most 1-tons would do okay with a skid in the back
I am pushing for a F450 truck with a skid pump and modify something to hold a backboard.
