It's not a Super Duty, but it's in the same class.

It seems like there's an anxiousness to prove that the biggest most powerful trucks are needed for this purpose.
Our dep't HAD diesel 450's, now they have chev van chassis gas jobbers, and they work just fine.

How come so many guys in the EMS field are obsessed with GIANT trucks?

Our regular vans are for normal use and the modulars are for CCT (Critical care transport), NICU (Neonatal Insensitive Care Unit) and BARI (bariatric... big people) transports. Personally, I love the modulars, there is SO much more room to work on your patient in the back, they ride much nicer (important for your patient too, consider babies or unhealed fractures) and they get the attention of the public much better. Some companies will use the modulars for all calls, not just the special needs ones. Also, I hate the chevys, everything including aftermarket upfitter stuff on them is cheap and sucks.
Some companies/depts use medium duty ambulances. These are usually fire depts who also manage the EMS dept and use the ambulances as rescue units as well. In this case the ambulance not only carries medical equipment, but rescue equipment, too.
The medium duty ambulances also tend to last considerably longer. Initial cost is higher but down time is very expensive in the EMS industry, whether you are talking profit (for-profit companies) or available coverage (govt depts).
Every company/dept has their own reason why they have the rigs they have. I asked the same question once too, and trust me, no dept or company is spending money on an extra large ambulance they dont need.
Here is a standard van ambulance, suitable for most circumstances:
Here is a modular ambulance, they are much nicer to work in IMO some people dont like driving with the extra size:
Here is an ambulance based off of an F-Series truck. This is my preferred set up for several reasons:
And the medium duty, which I have not had experience with, and is least common, especially in heavily populated areas such as the one I work in:
