It will never end I know they have these for a reason. IT jacks the price up on everything and makes it that much harder for departments to afford. We have to pray for a grant to get a new tanker cause its not in the budget

I think there will be many issues with them. the new tech. will be pushed even though they have had time to adjust they wait to the last minute.. just ask anyone who has a 6.0 turbo Ford. i worked in the ford world for a long time. so many turbos. and just incase anyone has one and doesnt know there is a class action lawsuit against them for it.. i also think the new standard will push up the cost of used fire trucks as well as referbs. anyone who buys a truck with the new standards in the next 2 years i forsee issues coming.

I know it will raise the price. I know what they are claiming i honestly believe its just to get you to buy a truck now instead of later. when they start selling the rep will be well it came in under cost yada yada yada..
