Saluda, SC
This custom Ford Expedition QRV was built for Saluda County EMS to provide leadership with a capable, versatile response vehicle designed for both emergency operations and everyday department use.
The build features a low-profile emergency lighting package integrated throughout the vehicle, including a roof-mounted lightbar, grille lighting, side and running-board lighting, and rear warning lights. The understated white exterior and Saluda County EMS graphics maintain a clean, command-focused appearance while providing the visibility needed during emergency response.
Inside, the Expedition MAX provides a spacious multi-row cabin, modern Ford technology, ample room for personnel and equipment, and the added cargo capacity of the extended-length MAX platform. Ford specifically positions the Expedition MAX as its extended-length Expedition, providing additional cargo room compared with the standard-wheelbase model.
Key Features
ETA's remount capabilities are not limited to Frazer units; its inventory and project portfolio show remounts across different ambulance configurations. Whether a particular module can be remounted depends on its construction, condition, chassis compatibility, and specifications, so ETA should evaluate the individual unit before confirming a project.
A Type I ambulance uses a modular patient compartment mounted on a truck-style chassis. A Type II is a van-based ambulance, such as ETA's Ford Transit 350-based High Ground Conversion. A Type III uses a modular patient compartment on a cutaway van chassis. ETA offers solutions across all three categories.
The right answer depends on your module's condition, budget, desired configuration, timeline, and long-term fleet plan. For a suitable module, an ETA remount can offer approximately 30%-45% savings and a published turnaround of approximately 30-90 days. Departments needing an entirely new module or significantly different vehicle may be better served by a new ambulance. ETA can help compare the options before you make that decision.
