If you watch the Boston EMS tv series, patient and EMS staff complain about the ride of the International chassis.  So it's good to see they are looking at the F450 chassis (although I don't know that was the driving force on this decision).
So I was surprised that FDNY was using those chassis for their rescue medic fleet (though storage space might be a major consideration here, where in Boston the rigs are purely ambulance/transport not multi-function as the FDNT rescue medic)
Now if they fixed the roads, that would help too...

The TerraStar chassis has had a number of issues.  It is very challenging trying to find a chassis that will work, last and is sustainable. 

Quite a few here in Bergen county all on E 350 chassis they put out a good product 

Think it's interesting that they are shifting away from the "medium duty" chassis to a Ford F450 Super Duty, although that's just as good as any medium duty is anyways.
 
The Liberty model is the one featured on the show "Nightwatch".
 
It's also nice to see more and more departments going with 4x4 ambulances.
