Fire Truck Center sells used brush trucks and builds custom 4×4 wildland units from $129,000, ready in as little as 60 days on a Ford, Ram, or Chevy chassis.

What is a brush truck

A brush truck, also called a wildland engine, is a compact 4×4 fire apparatus built for off-road and rural firefighting. It carries a skid unit or built-in pump, a water tank, and often a foam or CAFS system, letting crews reach grass, brush, and wildland fires that a full-size engine can’t.

Custom brush trucks, built to your spec

We build most of our brush trucks on the Ford chassis, with a skid unit and a body configured to how your crews work — special compartments, tool trays, foam systems, arrow boards, winches, custom bumpers, and different engine options. Ram and Chevy chassis are available too. A build starts around $129,000 and can be finished in as little as 60 days, depending on chassis availability, which is why we like to keep chassis in stock.

Every truck we build carries the standard 5-year Ford chassis warranty plus a 3-year manufacturer warranty on all firefighting components.
