| Description: | The Horton Model 553 is a large-body ambulance with rugged durability, tremendous payload and exceptional handling. The Horton Custom Series 553 puts it all together on a Ford Superduty chassis. For the customer who needs extra storage space, the 553 accommodates backboards, generator, SCBAs and extrication equipment. Storing all of this equipment is never a problem with the 553. The unit gets the job done with a 14,050 GVW and a typical payload of more than 3,000 pounds. |

Very similar to what I use. I like the box style ambulance; it offers plenty of room for personnel, and tons of storage.

I like the box ambulances they offer more storage areas and you can fit a lot more people in it if need be.. Good ambulance is the box wagon

These rigs are the best. They ride nice, offer great storage options and action area styles, have great service, and they stand behind their product. Good Rigs!

I personally don't like this style because of the small box size and the space to manuever in is way to tiny.
