Tarrytown-Riverside Hose's New Crimson

[x635 4,066]

I'm curious, now that TFD Riverside Hose has had it's new Spartan/Crimson Engine for a little while now, how do they like it?

I know they wanted a Seagrave, but is the new engine meeting their needs and did they recieve the quality they expected?

For full disclosure, I am a Crimson fan.

We did want a Seagrave but we have been pleased with the Spartan/Crimson. The quality is good, they seem to be one of the few that build a custom truck. Any of our issues have not been with Crimson or Hendrickson, I will leave it at that. The guys at Hendrickson have been giving us good service and are good to work with, everyone should come down and take a look at the truck during the wet down in May.

Thanks, Riverside80 for the insight. It's a beautiful truck, I know some guys from down here that were up when the truck was being completed and very impressed by it. Hope to see it in person one day.

And their craftsmanship is amazing. Really overbuilt and with the firefighter in mind. Houston FD bought one for evaluation and put it with a company that does 20+ runs a day and it is holding up great.

Dallas and Chicago use them exclusively as well for both Engines and Trucks.
