With today's alloys, carbon fiber and plastics, I'd wouldn't be surprised if it was a high GPM capacity 2 stage! Daddy's and granddaddy's are museum exhibits with today's tech and computer design and materials.
Pumps haven't changed that much. Physics are the same. It doesn't have the horsepower to run much more than a 250gpm when you consider all the hydraulics for the ladder.
Gear boxes have changed, computer design ing can further develope the proper gear and pump configuration. You do know that a 2000 GPM pump is being installed on the same chassis, same diesel engine ( micro pumper) !

Doubt it's got a pump. That would be too heavy.
