Well done HP. Good looking rig. You’ve got stainless where ya need stainless. You have diamond plate around the back wheel wells. Places where you typically get paint chips and dings. Nice low hose bed. I like the side mount ladder rack. Well done.

I see some FDNY characteristics of this rig.

Keep an eye on the underside of the your Pierce Fire Apparatus. I’m not sure if they got a handle on their rusting frames. Otherwise sharp looking rigs. I find it super cool when the rig’s match in the firehouse.

Looks great B33. Mike C you can see the lightbars in the first photo, they look like Federal Signal bars.

No Tak 4 suspension- same as the tower ladder.

We spec halogen headlights for cheap price and mechanic changes on delivery to HiViz LED

Upper warning lights are low profile 18” led light bars not visible in these pics

The Arrow XT cabs are identical on the tower ladder and engine to allow stocking of parts and uniform layout for companies.

Looks like HPFD was very intentional with their needs.

If HPFD kept the multiplex and TAK-4 off this rig, it’ll be a decent rig!

They need to add HiViz LED headlights to accompany that brow light.

Also, where are the rear upper warning lights?

Sharp looking rig!

I like the addition of the extra mirrors for safety as well as the low hose bed.
