• and
• a trailer including:
• a frame pivotably coupled to the chassis about a vertical axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
• a single rear axle coupled to the frame;
• a stabilization assembly coupled to the frame rearward of the vertical axis;
• a second cab coupled to the frame rearward of the single rear axle;
• and
• an aerial assembly supported by the frame, the aerial assembly including a multi-section ladder that is extensible to provide a vertical reach of at least 95 feet and a horizontal reach of at least 90 feet;
