A reconditioned Ram-chassis fire truck is one of the fastest, most affordable ways to field a brush or quick-attack rig. Ram builds the chassis — the 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cab underpins brush trucks, mini-pumpers, CAFS/foam units and light rescues built to spec. Fire Truck Center sells used Ram-chassis apparatus that passes a 150-point inspection with a third-party NFPA pump test, backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Key takeaways
- The Ram 5500 4×4 is a leading platform for brush and quick-attack trucks — nimble, off-road capable, and cheap to service.
- Fire Truck Center regularly carries used Ram rigs, including 4×4 brush trucks with CAFS/foam systems. Check current inventory.
- Most run the 6.7L Cummins turbodiesel — one of the most durable and widely serviced diesels on the market.
- Every truck ships with a 150-point inspection, NFPA pump test, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
What comes up, and what to check
Used Ram apparatus is almost always 4×4 brush and quick-attack — medium-duty capability on a Cummins driveline, often with a poly tank, skid pump and CAFS or foam. Check the frame and body mounts for corrosion, verify the pump and CAFS system, and review hours against our ~100,000-mile / 10,000-hour guideline. Any Ram commercial dealer can service the chassis.
