I am seeing more and more International and Freightliner ambulances lately. Saw one built on a new GMC cutaway van last week...sounded like Duramax power.
Down here the Navistar and Freightliner based rigs were the hot ticket item..........until the real estate implosion and resulting loss of property tax revenue. My former employer used to run Navistar and Freightliner based ambulances exclusively, now they're buying Dodge based rigs. Presumably, less expensive; I know the Navistar and Freightliner rigs were pricey before I retired, about $150K a copy and that was nearly 7 years ago! I do know that all the staff vehicles that were F-250 6.0's were replaced by F-150 gassers; I'll let you guess why.......;)
