Hi LCPDFR!,

 

Just wondering if anybody knows why there is no F150 ambulance? (IRL not 3d model) Is it because it is not powerful enough or just because it isn't popular?

 

Also if anybody has pictures of a F150 Can you please post them? :D

 

 

Cheers!

Isn't it too small and weak to be an ambulance? I thought they needed power and room so they use e-series and super duty ford's. Same thing with chevy and gmc.

I thought so too, but if it's good enough for police and fire departments, why not EMS?

I found EMS supervisor cars, but no Ambulances. I think the f150 is just not powerful enough.

When you have an ambulance, you are carrying much more weight on the chassis than if you are just using the truck as a pickup. 

 

 

Figured that was why, but it confuses me why they don't have single-cab F150 or why don't they use the raptor?

The f-150 is to weak to be an ambo. Ambo chassis are usually on a f-350 or f-450

Because ambulance companies can afford $60k offroad performance trucks to use as ambulances. Seems legit.

I looked up the average price of an ambulance and it's between 60-100k, no reason to spend the average price for the whole ambulance on the truck alone.

I May be incorrect but I've never seen a recent Diesel F150, this might be the issue, which would make sense, since E-series, F Series 250 and up, and the chevy express 2500/GMC Variant, all have Diesel motor options, and this would also answer why you never see F150 Box trucks or HD Work trucks.  I Don't think an Ambulance with all the equipment in it would be lite enough for a gas engine to be efficient 

 

 

also as said before i think the F150 Chassis is too small, also no dually options for F150's which is another reason you don't see them on ambulances, since it's a MUST for hauling those medical box's 

 

I Was going to say the F150 chassis being to small is probably why theres no diesels, because its just too small, but E-series chassis aren't all that large either
