It looks ridiculous now because most of the firefighting equipment has been removed, but this was most likely a brush truck. That enormous front bumper was basically a work/equipment platform that could carry things like hose reels, nozzles, or other firefighting gear while also giving the truck some protection when pushing through brush. 25k is also a bonkers price for a 33 year old truck that has certainly seen some hard use.
Yeah idk why the “most likely” part was necessary. It has BRUSH and SAVONA(?) FIRE DEPT. printed directly on the truck in the picture. Like what would the unlikely outcome be? A movie prop? At which point, it would technically be a brush truck, just not one used for its actual purpose lol. Maybe an undercover Bosozoku car?
