FDNY Battalion Cars- Any News?

[x635 4,066]

Since Ford has discontinued production of the Excursion, to my knowledge there aren't any other diesel SUV's on the market nowadays.

A while back, there had been discussion on this forum that FDNY was going to be going with Ford F-series or Chevrolet 2500 diesels with extendo-bed or similar.

What is the replacement cycle/lifespan of a frontline battalion vehicle? I assume FDNY will have to order some new ones soon....

Does anyone have any updates?

10 years 11 months as with all rigs. They came to measure for a pickup last year, but all the fleet is 03 or better, so I doubt they will be replaced any time soon.
