love the paint scheme and the 450 chassis. was it for the 4wd or the diesel?

[KelliPVAC 32]

Thank you! We went with the 450 for both reasons, the 4WD and for the diesel.

Nice looking rig!

A couple question if you don't mind:

1) Was there an option for an extended cab for more leg room (not a 4-door like FDNY)

2) With this chassis choice, what is the difference in load height (for the strecher) versus the E-series (non 4WD) Ford chassis? The 4WD chassis here looks pretty low, it has a real nice stance and appears to be a reasonable height.

3) Is that a camera in the patient compartment?

To answer your questions,

While there may be an option for an extended cab you don't need it with an F series. There is plenty of room for the driver and front passenger.

This F series chassis is higher than the E series. It is at the limit of the load height for our stretchers. This truck is equipped with rear air suspension (which makes for a nice ride in the back) that lowers the rear doors to a manageable height for loading and unloading.

Yes that is a camera in the patient compartment. It functions just like a back-up camera, CCTV not recorded and must be manually activated to view.
