Truckman's Choice 372XP-TC & 572XP-TC
Two current modelsone shared fire-service build.
EFES currently builds the Truckman's Choice fire rescue chainsaw on two professional Husqvarna base powerheads: the 372 XP and the 572 XP. EFES then adds the shared fire-service package — filtration, starting components, full-wrap handle, solid guide bar, carbide-tipped ventilation chain, and optional depth guard. The two models share that package; the powerhead beneath it is the decision.
01Start with the finished configuration
A model number tells you where the build starts — not how the finished saw is configured.
The stock powerhead specifications are useful, but they are only the baseline.
Bar, chain, guard, EFES components, and fluids all affect the saw your crew will carry. Compare the 372 and 572 on verified base data, then get the completed configuration in writing before the purchase order.

These are current Husqvarna figures for the stock powerhead, not the completed Truckman's Choice saw. EFES components, cutting equipment, optional guard, and fluids change the finished weight and configuration. Confirm those details on the EFES quote.

What EFES adds
The fire-service package shared by both current models
EFES lists the same core Truckman's Choice equipment on the 372XP-TC and 572XP-TC. Final bar, chain, guard, and other order details should still be confirmed for the exact saw quoted.
Fire-service starting controls
A larger D-shaped starter handle, EFES one-step starting, and a momentary contact stop switch are included on both current models.
Full-wrap handle
The wrap-around handle supports multiple cutting positions and is described in the EFES brochure as also functioning as a chain catcher.
Solid steel alloy guide bar
EFES equips both current models with a high-strength solid steel alloy guide bar.
On-saw scrench
The combination wrench and screwdriver is mounted on the saw for chain adjustment and spark-plug access.
Ventilation cutting package
Both models are listed with a carbide-tipped Bullet Raker ventilation chain. EFES also offers a tool-less depth guard that covers the bar and chain and sets the exposed cutting depth.
Optional — confirm at order
Ask EFES to list every included and optional component on the quote. Truckman's Choice names a configurable fire-service saw, not one universal bar-and-guard package.
02372 or 572
Choose the powerhead your department can operate and support with confidence.
The base specifications are close: both are 71 cc-class professional saws and both are listed at 14.5 pounds before cutting equipment.
The clearest published difference is engine management. Husqvarna lists AutoTune on the 572 XP; it does not list AutoTune on the 372 XP X-TORQ.
01
Consider the 372XP-TC when continuity with the established 372 platform matters to your operators or mechanics.
02
Consider the 572XP-TC when the department wants the 572 XP's AutoTune-equipped base.
03
Do not choose from horsepower alone. Ask for the final bar, chain, guard, operating weight, warranty terms, and service plan for the exact configuration.
Before your department changes saws
Four reasons to put Truckman's Choice on the evaluation list
Public evidence does not establish an industry-wide switch to these models. A department can still evaluate the product on concrete, verifiable grounds.
01
One fire-service package
The filtration, starting components, full-wrap handle, solid guide bar, mounted scrench, ventilation chain, and optional guard are specified together by EFES rather than assembled piecemeal after purchase.
02
Two base-powerhead paths
Departments can weigh the established 372 XP platform against the AutoTune-equipped 572 XP while keeping the shared EFES package.
03
Builder and service-shop continuity
EFES builds the saws in Lemoyne, Pennsylvania and supports fire-rescue saw service. Its team cites more than 20 years of former Cutters Edge service-center experience — useful mechanical background, not a claim that the brands are affiliated.
04
A stated two-year warranty
EFES currently states a two-year warranty for the series. Ask for the written coverage, exclusions, and service process with the quote.
The decision should come from the department's own evaluation, not an unsupported market-trend claim.
03Procurement checklist
Four steps from mission to written configuration
Settle the operating and support details before price becomes the only comparison.
01
Define the assignment
Decide whether this saw is primarily for roof ventilation, forcible-entry support, other rescue cutting, or a combination defined by department SOPs.
02
Choose the base
Compare the 372 XP and 572 XP around engine management, operator familiarity, mechanic familiarity, and the department's existing equipment.
03
Specify the complete saw
Put bar length, chain type and dimensions, depth guard, included tools, finished weight, fuel guidance, warranty terms, price, and lead time on the quote.
04
Plan readiness after delivery
Confirm operator training, inspection intervals, consumables, replacement parts, and the route for service before the saw is placed on the apparatus.

FrequentlyAsked Questions
About the 372XP-TC and 572XP-TC
No. They are Husqvarna's published stock powerhead figures. EFES components, cutting equipment, the optional guard, and fluids change the completed saw. Ask EFES for a configuration-specific weight and specification sheet with the quote.
Husqvarna lists both stock powerheads at 14.5 pounds without cutting equipment. EFES's 2023 brochure lists a 15.65-pound powerhead-only figure for the 372XP-TC of that brochure period, before fuel and oil. It does not provide a corresponding 572XP-TC value. Confirm current completed weight for either model directly with EFES.
No. The stock 572 XP has a slightly higher published output-shaft rating and adds AutoTune, while the stock weights are the same. Those facts do not make one completed fire-rescue configuration universally better. Operator familiarity, maintenance, bar and chain setup, and support still matter.
EFES currently lists the West Coast Filter & Velocity Stack, D starter handle, one-step starting, momentary contact switch, full-wrap handle, solid steel alloy guide bar, scrench tool, Bullet Raker ventilation chain, and an optional depth guard.
No. EFES lists the depth guard as optional. Confirm whether it is included, its adjustment range, and its compatibility with the quoted bar length.
EFES currently states a two-year warranty for the 372XP-TC and 572XP-TC series. Request the current written terms, exclusions, and service process with the quote.
Compare the complete fire-service configuration, operator and mechanic familiarity, final operating weight, bar and chain setup, guard, training, warranty, parts availability, and service path. A stock horsepower number alone does not answer the procurement question.
