h67st Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 The ad says this truck has never been used...looks super nice, but that price tag is somebody's dream (or nightmare!). https://www.ebay.com/itm/2001-Mack-Fire-Truck-Model-9/232796838250?hash=item3633c5d96a:g:YYwAAOSw5PJbGEjn&autorefresh=true Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53522-new-17-year-old-fire-truck/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyGunner Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 It might be worth it since it has a 2,350hp engine in it. 😁 1 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

Freightrain Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I wonder what the actual price tag is when new? Likely much more then $125K. The bad part is figuring out the wiring?

bulldogboy Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Mack/Master Body Works trucks were built for the California Division of Forestry. I wonder what the reason was why it was never put into service, a training vehicle, maybe? Mack "Team Manager" chassis. bulldogboy 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53522-new-17-year-old-fire-truck/#findComment-400210 Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the problems is the NFPA, the group that creates the recognized industry standards and codes for firefighting- everything from suggested minimum training requirements to minimum standards for fire extinguishers, helmets, boots, coats, tools, radios, and yes firetrucks. These standards are constantly changing and evolving. Many Federal, State and Local Governments have adopted NFPA standards to guide their firefighting agencies. As a result of this, and due to the standards constantly changing, older rigs lose their value by not being compliant. There are so many rigs out there that could be of value to a small town Fire Dept but because they are not NFPA compliant, they are hesitant to purchase them for fear of liability. 3 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53522-new-17-year-old-fire-truck/#findComment-400235 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbigrig Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 City of Toronto ordered 2 of those team managers. Never went into service. Sold them to somewhere in the Caribbean. Once loaded the trucks had issues stopping and the dept wasn't too happy with them. They were ordered for downtown first response.
