I think it would be hard to find anyone that wouldn't like one! Should be able to pull stumps well!

I was away from email over the weekend. That is quite a vehicle. I will be interested in seeing how it looks when it goes into production. It looks to me to be a direct competitor to the H2 and LandRover.
I took the H2 in for an oil change last week. When the cashier hsnded my keys back to me when I paid my bill, she said, "You have a Hummer and a Jeep! I don't imagine that you are going to get stuck!"

chief my fire department would take that and tear it into two. Check out our brush truck. 1968 1 1/4 ton jeep. 250gpm pump, 300 gallon tank. see picture 8. Its not a parade piece. We have members take it completely off the ground. Its got a 350chevy small block in it. It will do at least 120mph.

Lets see my department has total an ambulance(deer),rolled an engine(almost killed the entire crew), total a very rare CF Mack by hitting a tree(scared the driver so badly,he quit, almost killed the cheif, four more injured two when jumpimg off, two when hitting the front of the jump seats), crushing the cab back 2 feet, Serious damage to an engine when it slide off the road, taking out a telephone pole. Thats why we have a strick seatbelt rule in our firehouse.

Anything exposed to extreme abuse and deliberate misuse will fail. Sounds to me like your fire department would be able to cure those problems with some "personnel changes" and a new fire chief who will enforce professional standards of operations and conduct.

Sounds like there are too many pickups with green lights on the dash in your town there Green.
It's doesn't sound like any of those 'accidents' were related to Fire work, they were caused by the same thing I've been on about for years now, a 'loose nut' behind the wheel.......
A local contractor here has three boys, they all drive tri-axle dumps, same make, model and year. One of the boys has such a bad driving record several insurers refused to write a policy and he has written off 3 trucks and has wrecked a half a dozen times more on top, the latest being last night.
4X4's are the most notorious, but only beciuse there are more of them, but big trucks also, peopl driving them don't undestand the physics involved.
$ wheel drive or 30 tons of gravel will get you rolling MUCH faster than you're able to stop or steer that weight.
Last night's accident was just such a case, a car stopped to allow oncoming traffic to clear so they could make a left into their driveway. The dump truck driver was going too fast and when he tried to stop he realized, too late, that the road was covered in black ice, he rear-ended a full-sized van so hard it's rear axle broke free and went to the right, the van went to the left and into the ditch. Miraculously nobody was killed, only two people with minor injuries.
Bottom line, just like I tell my employees, "Drive according to the weather not the clock.".
Best of luck.

By the way this happened over a 30 years. We when though a couple of cheifs. None were on purpose. We seem to have a problem with ice or snow. Each time were wrecked an engine it was icy or snowing while going to a fire.
