What is a brush truck

A brush truck is a compact 4×4 fire engine built for off-road and rural work. It carries a skid unit or a built-in pump, a water tank, and often a foam or CAFS system, and it reaches grass, brush, and wildland fires a full-size engine can’t get to. Departments that want the longer version can read what a brush truck is.

How we inspect and certify every brush truck

Every used brush truck we sell passes a 150-point inspection before it’s listed. We check the engine, transmission, axles, brakes, suspension, and the 4×4 driveline, plus the electrical components, lighting, and sirens. We run the pump and check it for leaks and vacuum problems, and on a unit that carries a fire pump, a third-party company pump-tests and certifies it to NFPA standards. At a minimum every truck gets fresh fluids and service, and when we find a problem, we fix it before the truck goes out.
We inspect before we buy, not only before we sell. We stand behind every used truck with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so a lemon costs us, not you — that’s why we’re selective about what we buy in the first place.

Custom brush trucks built to your spec

We build new brush trucks to your department’s spec, starting around $129,000 and ready in as little as 60 days. Most go on a Ford chassis with a skid unit and a body configured to your crew, though you can order a Ram or Chevy chassis instead. Options include special compartments, tool trays, foam systems, arrow boards, winches, custom bumpers, and different engine choices. We keep chassis in stock for a faster turnaround, so timing mostly depends on chassis availability. Every new build carries a 5-year standard Ford chassis warranty plus a 3-year manufacturer warranty on all firefighting components. See our custom-built brush trucks for what a spec build looks like.

How to choose the right brush truck

Size the tank, pump, and chassis to your terrain and your water supply. A skid unit is easy to move between trucks; a built-in pump ties the plumbing into the body. Foam or CAFS helps you knock a fire down with less water, which matters when you’re a long way from a hydrant. Match the 4×4 to the ground you actually cover.
Then it comes down to used or custom. Buy used when a truck in stock fits your spec and you want it fast and cheaper. Build custom when your terrain or your crew needs an exact configuration you can’t find on the lot. If you’re on a tight budget, older used units can run less and still earn their place in a fleet.

How much does a brush truck cost

An inspected used brush truck runs from about $55,000 to $200,000, and older units can run less. A custom new build starts around $129,000. Price depends on the chassis, the pump and tank, the foam system, and condition.
