New CFS QRV's
Bagyassfirey:
does anyone know what chassis the new QRV's are being built on?? i see at royal show that there was one on a Nissan Patrol cab chassis rather than the land cruiser. Any ideas???
Darren:
Not sure about this round, but from Arthur's newsletter he seems very keen to pursue Nissan Patrols from now on. reasons as follows
1) they are cheaper
2) the axle weights are higher than the Landcruiser - specifically the front axle loading
3) everyone else is going that way
crashndash:
I'm pretty sure there was an email out to Brigades from from Arthur and Tech Services recently with a state of the nation type report on all the projects that they have uinderway including the change of chassis for the QRV.
If I remember correctly Patrol was selected after some issues were identified with the Toyota's subframe or brakes (cant quite remember which)..and cost :wink:
Bagyassfirey:
ahhh nice i prefer a patrol (personal choice) i know there cheaper and i thought that mite be the answer. cheers guys!
Bagyassfirey:
anyone know how many QRV's there will be 4 this fire season and where they are going?
