May still have it in the type 1's. Only says not available in vans.

That's my understanding. Only E-Series is impacted so far.

A lot of EMS services are using type 1's now. I think IFT's will feel the most impact.

Well the V-10 is a nice engine but it does have less torque. And I know that it gets bad gas miliege.

that is why AMR is not buying fords anymore. well at least in my area. we are going to buy sprinters now. <_<

So... "Euro" looking...

 

[emtfarva]

they claim they are cheaper and more fuel efficient. :glare:

 

[reaper]

Hope you have no big hills!

 

[emtfarva]

nah, the ones we got have twin turbos. :glare:

 

[reaper]

The sprinters could have quad turbos and still be dogs!

I saw one of AMR's spinters today at the BI. That thing is not easy on the eyes.

you should see it at night with the lights on. you cant even see the truck, all you see is flashing lights. it is very small inside also. hey i don't make the purchasing choices, i just drive what i am given.
