I am a ford fan and always will be. I drive a F150 and My better half drives an exployer. I am a paramedic supervisor all of our ambulances are F350 fords 7.3-T is the best thing ford ever done. I have been in EMS fro 21 years. We went through a lot in that time. Chevy once had the market for Ambulances Ford took the market about 10 years ago. Now that Ford has the 7.3 -T I think it will keep the market. In Tennessee their are more ford Ambulance and Police cars than any other brand. Just thought I would let all you ford fans know ford saves life.

 

I think it's important to mention that the Ford Super Duty is the preferred chassis for fire trucks. For the wildland units and mini-pumpers that is. I've had guys tell me that one Fire truck manufacturer told them they would only put a body on a Ford F-450 or F-550, and another one said that's what they preferr, but would but it on a dodge or chevy but didn't recommend it. I think that ford offers so many different configurations that you can get what you need for your application and you'd be stupid to go with something else.

 

I've been in Law Enforcement for the past five years and I've had nothing but a Ford to thank for not only getting me to and from work,but getting me around at work. I can't even believe that any good Dept. Would buy that POS Chevy. Well thats my $.02.

Stay safe out there!

 

My buddy on the AZ highway patrol told me that AZ will no longer buy any Fords, cars trucks or otherwise. The next patrol units will be Dodge Intrepids and Dodge trucks. YIKES!

 

I have been a Firefighter Paramedic for 7 years and all I have ever driven in were FORDS!!! I figure if we can beat the heck out of them every day, all day and run them hard and put them away wet and they last for over 100,000 miles what would it do if you actually take good care of them and maintain them well.
