    Ambo vs E350 4x4 vs Excursion vs 1 ton w/ topper. Pros and cons of each.

    I've struggled with the same questions. Having a 2002 crewcab longbed F350 with f/r locker and the kinks worked out, it still made sense to keep that as a truck and buy the 4x4 ambulance over anything else. Biggest reasons: - compartments: Ambulance is like an RV with lots of storage...
