The rear pump setup makes this rig extremely vulnerable. I've seen too many engines rear ended at scenes. Having the panel at the rear makes the engineer vulnerable. Further, repair costs are much higher. It's just a bad design...
I don’t know about the engineer being more vulnerable with pump panel in the back Curb Side of the engine. Traditional side pump has the panel on the street side of the engine. I’ve also noticed in many street scenes for car fires, the engine is positioned diagonally in the street to provide scene safety but the pump panel is now facing traffic.
any truck rear ended are out of use. The rear pump setup means nothing as the entire truck needs to be repaired as its a full metal structure and damage is not localiced in sections.
My husband just saw this in traffic and called me to tell me about the SWAT looking fire truck 😂
One of my favorite cabs. I just heard Keith Parker Roll Over since he can't slap me.
Our rosenbuaer been o.o.s for 5 1/2 months now...been at factory and still is not fixed .....sad

I think it doesnt matter
If your truck gets Rear Ended then there is nothing you can do with truck.
So its out of Service anyway 🤷🏼♂️
@@andre_fwne it does matter because repairs are much more complex and costly with the engineer's panel at the rear

@@johnpotts8719 I've seen engines rear ended a bunch of times. Never seen a side panel hit...
