That F550 Skeeter Brush Truck looks to be sitting on 335/80R20 MPT 81 tires..... You should get a single rear wheel conversion, and get those tires for your truck... Earth roamer, extreme duty F550 and several other builder use those tires..

I worked in fleet sales at Ford dealerships for several years. I used to work the RFP (Request for Proposal) all of the time from government agencies. Sometimes I would win bids because I was the lowest bidder and met specifications. Sometimes I would get bids and would instantly notice that a vehicle requested was based on a specific model that was or usually wasn't mine. The local utility company put out a bid for class 6 bucket trucks with a sleeved engine. International is the only one that offered it. I was low bidder, but didn't meet spec. I got another bid for a class truck with an "alligator hood." Obviously, that was written to a Ford spec. Everyone else had a tilt hood.

At my department we just got a new f-350 with the 6.2 for a basic utility truck. We have an 87 chevy diesel for a brush truck, this truck is mint.

Now you are being a complete bastard . Showing me vehicles that I would sell a few relatives to obtain . You lucky Americans the brush truck firefighter is just stunning . Thanks for this video .

I'm a GM guy. But one of the Fords I liked from 11-16 was the F550 that was converted to the F554. The suspension was like the F550 brush truck in this video.

Yet another great video! Love watching these while I eat my breakfast in the morning. You need a show on velocity! Made with a first person view just like these! Keep it up!

Yeh commercial vehicles of any brand are always going to be way better than consumer.

Our local ambo company has one of those in ambulance form! It's huge! Haven't seen the inside. Has a critical care nurse on board Our area(CA) is mostly FORD products

What great looking Emerency trucks.

Again another fantastic video of the emergency vehicles!

That ford f550 looks really nice

Great video. The Tahoe seems to be the latest pick for law enforcement in NE Ohio too.

Same in Baytown tx (just out side of Houston tx).

Here in New Jersey my local departments have all Ford Explorers and Chargers

All these bring back great memories! Thank you!

I live in Maine and the police departments use Ford products lot of Explorers.

Thank you for this (Tour). Great

Most law enforcement departments use the new Chevy Tahoes, the city I live in, just bought 4 brand new 2022 Tahoes. Texas DPS uses a fleet of Chevy Tahoes across the state and the game wardens are now being issued the new Chevy Silverados. Many departments are now using Chevy and Dodge more than Ford.

The larger brush truck, looks like it may have been built on a military frame. Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication to your videos and to the wealth of knowledge that you provide us with. Take care and God bless.

That's a great video Seems that they would have some ATVs and UTVs treated with safety features

really loving these videos

Guess who sold that KW T370 tandem axle fire truck to the body builder?

Lowest acceptable bid. Most departments use that term because of closeness of servicing and past experiences with different manufacturers.

Those r some awesome vehicles . Wow.

in my area its the opposite most of the police cars are fords and ems its mostly chevy while fire its a good mix of ford chevy and ram

Too cool man! I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago... I am loving all the content I have been binge watching your videos and I can't get enough! Thank you for making such great and informative content, you deserve way more subscribers than you currently have! Have a great day! - Hunter

Thanks for taking us on the tour.

Very cool! Love that Brush 32 truck!! Maybe you can get an off road demo day with a beast like that!

Very cool trucks

DOPE truck

That first brush truck seems excessively large. The steps to get in it come down so low they’re the limit on ground clearance.

Hey dude sweet video I had no clue you lived in nueces county also.also where I live the ambulances are Chevy or Ford but the firetrucks are Peirce. I have seen you red truck around corpus Christi and it's nice.liked

Can we get a video about one of those brush trucks?

I don't know if this has happened to anyone else. When 1st responders go to an accident scene they are not really worried about how they park. One cop gets chosen to direct traffic around the scene. Well we as motorists can not see a blessed thing in the maze of flashing lights. The officer may be waving us on but all we see is a guy doing the ROBOT dance. I wonder if 1st responders realize this!

Those brush trucks are over kills...

I live in Stlouis and we have more ford police. ( This does not include state police due to their diversity of vehicles)But the farther you go away from suburban and the city it changes to dodge and very little chevy. As well ford dominates most of fire but we are sprinkled with dodge. Great videos God Bless

Interesting to note that fire/rescue vehicles don't have to have emissions on them.

Honestly if it’s on your Ford F-450 it would look nice but how would you be able to you your beautiful Vaneigh Beacon? This was posted in2020z

I have a F350 now. I was going to upgrade to a F450. Now I guess I will upgrade to a F750. Jacked up and 4X4 ready. It will take an elevator to get up inside the cab but that's okay.

2:29 Can anyone tell me the name of the fire dept of that big 6x6 truck or where I can see more of that truck??

Bill Blast truck is owned by Pharr Fire Department built by Ferrara. 10 years volunteer firefighter for them.

I have been wondering about your bed rug. I have a line x in my F-250 but I don't want to have Things wearing on it. Would the bed rug be a good option? Do they dry fast? Do they fray out or anything? Should it be covered? Thanks! Need a video for "new truck necessities".

I didn't go the bedrug rough this last time. Since my truck has the factory spray in liner, I simply got an Access Bed Liner. It's a better material than the Bedrug, it doesn't fray and only covers the bottom. Plus, it drys pretty quick. I've been extremely pleased with it.

Big Truck Big RV good deal! Thanks for the info! I’m going to check in to those.

Big Truck RV, how is that brush truck legal to drive on public roads with that bumper height? That's well over the roofline of most cars. Years back, most brush trucks were rebuilt military trucks. The M35 deuce and a half turned well enough, the 5 tons not so well. The truck in your video looks like it couldn't turn around in a 40 acre field.

In the vast majority of states, especially west of the Mississippi, fire trucks are exempt. Therefore they don't have to meet all DOT requirements. Generally NFPA is the biggest thing that FD's worry about. Even then that is generally a guideline not a fast rule. So the rigs that are used generally don't meet DOT specifications because of the exempt status. If it was required a lot of fire trucks would be considered over size or over weight loads.

Great vid bro but ford trucks are the king of trucks.
