  Nice truck but the compartment space seems very limited. I was told this was an emergency purchase but what’s odd is this was in the works a few months ago. By the time they received this truck, they probably could’ve received a spec’d truck with a little longer lead time.

  Does anyone know how many miles/hours are on this truck? My department looked at some demo’s a few years ago from a few different manufacturers, Pierce being one of them. It just seemed that most of the demo’s weren’t well cared for.

  I think the Velocity is the best chassis Pierce makes. 600 horsepower in this truck!!!
