  36’2” is correct this engine will be 14 inches longer than our 2008 Alexis engine. The added length is due to the front bumper extension that will hold eTools, a preconnect, and a master stream device. We shortened the cab to add that compartment between the cab and pump area.

  Looks like 36′ 2″ per the spec in the first post

  Ever since the first pictures of this rig hit this site, I also thought that it’s LONG!!

  I wonder the OAL on this truck? I bet is very similar to a ladder.
