Hey Thanks but RATS!!!!!! I own shares in CUMMINS. Oh well, still nice anyway and perhaps there’s repower in it’s future.

I can’t quite make out the engine brand on the yellow sticker so could someone please confirm? PIERCE is the only buider that offers DETROIT and CUMMINS engines otherwise I wouldn’t ask.

As much as I love Pierce, I love Spartans too. Anyway this is a great looking rig.

Sharp looking pumper. That ARROW XT seems to be a popular choice. That same basic cab design has been part of PIERCE just about forever under a few different model names.
