    It's not called a tractor pulls. It's simply a semi tractor. Since they aren't used that much like LaCo. The millage is probably low for their age. Besides... When City replaced the original tractors they were 1970,1969,1968.

     

    Correction, these are currently referred to as Transport 1, 2, 3 in the LAFD CAD system.  They are not referred to as semi tractors.

    That second photo isn't the actually truck is it? I can't see them needing a pusher axle for what they do.

     

    No its not the actual photo.  Nothing on order or rfp'ed.  I would hope it would look like that excluding the pusher axle but including that HD front axle.  More for the look and color.

    Question is.... Well they now put a second one in service at ST89 as rumor had it at one time. Or sell the reserve and put the active one in reserve. Great looking new HR.

    I predict sell current reserve, put current rig in reserve. Unfortunately, they don't have enough funding for 2nd HR staff let alone all those companies still not in service since the brown out period a few years ago.

    the manufacturer only put the stripping on that la city requested, why would they change it. that reflective material is not cheap, just the same as people complaining about the new grey ladders on the new trucks, it's what la city wants and they spec'd it

    LAFD has a printer at the shops for the striping and lettering. Just like when BP84 came in and was changed to FR201 they can change it with easy. Also the dodge BC's came in with different font and the shops changed it. I won't be surprised if the shops change the HR stripe drop and some of the fonts. It does not cost that much to fix striping and lettering as they have to do it all the time when their vehicles get in accidents. It's not paint but stickers.

    The ladders are painted grey which is a different process then the striping/ fonts. The grey ladder color is not changing on the first TDA. It will now denote the HD ladders for LAFD hence the reason for the different color painted ladder.

    I concur.  Need to loose the NASCAR droop race strip.  Could be easily fixed with replacing it with a straight stripe on those two doors at the shops.  Fingers crossed they fix it.  Other than that, new rig looks great.
