Too much lots of stuff to be looked after lots of stuff to break besides the electronics in the chassis just looking there are plenty of electrical gremlins just hiding and the pump, hydraulic systems. Apparatus is getting like fighter jets an hour in service is 10 hours in maintenance. I’m old school ya need wet on red a good strong engine, pump, and a good engineer is what the devil needs

Is this not true of all fire apparatus?

Yes but the problem when you try to make it do everything it can but none of it well. Like a Swiss army knife ya it cuts but there is so much packed in it is difficult to use.

This truck isn't trying to do everything, it's just a ladder. No pump, tank or excessive equipment loading.

Well I’m sure it’s useful in some fashion.
