New 2024 F-150 POLICE RESPONDER PICKUP

[Bossharp]

I'm going to look into the tires..They might be a great option for a 2 wheel drive sport truck. I could see my Single cab XL with them.

Can we order the bullet resistant door panels?

That’s what we mostly have here for Sheriffs is the Explorer. State Troopers are running Chargers with the 5.7 or Tahoe with the 5.3. I think it’s funny most upper end consumer Tahoe and Yukons will outrun the police interceptor. The 6.2 isn’t available to law enforcement, only for consumer spec

No Tahoe or yukon, durango can beat the F150 to 60.

F150 police responder top end is limited due to driveshaft, if you got a carbon fiber shaft in there and lowered the rear 1" (frpp shackles) you could do 145 safely I'm sure.

also: The Ford Police Interceptor Utility 3.0L Ecoboost topped the charts with 148 mph as its top speed; it also achieved 0-60 in 5.81 seconds.

148MPH - more chance to catch the charger. I also think the police tires they spec hurt the stopping distance?

The Ford F-150 Police Responder 3.5L EcoBoost reached 120 mph and reached 60 mph in 5.69 seconds.The Dodge Durango 5.7L AWD and 3.6L AWD reached 130 mph and 125 mph, respectively. The 5.7L AWD topped 60 mph in 6.67 seconds, but the 3.6L took the longest out of the lineup at 8.25 seconds.The Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3L RWD hit its top speed at 130mph, and 5.3L 4WD topped out at 124 mph. The Tahoes were among the slowest to reach 60 mph at 7.69 mph for the 5.3L RWD and 7.94 seconds for the 5.3L 4WD.Ranking at the bottom in top speed were the Chevrolet Silverado Z7X 4WD and Z71 4WD models, each with a top speed of 112 mph.​

Read Ford pulled hybrid Explorer option from consumers because the police model was taking all of them. I'm really surprised not to see the hybrid option in a police truck. It perfectly suits their usage with hours of silent idling.

An SRT Durango with the 392 C.I V8 would hurt any F-150’s or Chargers feelings. The 0-60 is 4.1 seconds. Even a tuned EcoBoost or Coyote is no match for the 392 SRT. Some police deps have bough those consumer spec SRT and converted them. Insane power. I was comparing Tahoe’s though, consumer spec is available with a more powerful engine than what’s available to law enforcement.

We still need this for our trucks...

The 6.2 Tahoe 2023 gets 0-60 in 5.78 - the F150 Police version does it in 5.69.
SRT Duango is more in line with a Raptor R - which goes 0-60 in 3.7

Odd, and rather poor choice for an interceptor with the horrid tuning radius, long braking distance, and terrible cornering manners. Sedan makes so much more sense.

Most PDs don’t have a fleet of trucks, but rather for very purpose specific. e.g. rough road conditions extreme environments. When my son was RCMP evacuating Fort McMurray AB wildfires in 2016, F150s were in abundance as vehicles had to leave the paved roads frequently due to congestion and fire debris!

Bring back the Crown Vic. With a super charged Coyote!

lol, they had one virtue: longevity, and simplicity, but in practice they weren’t fast, had average handling, awful in bad weather, and past their sell by date.

Really no need for a supercharger if you put a Coyote into a sedan, the ‘24 Mustang Dark Horse is 500 HP naturally aspirated. Thats 100 HP more than the old supercharged 4.6 Terminators in the Cobra. A few larger Depts actually have a Mustang GT for a specialty pursuit only car (only brought out for chases). The art of road chases is dying regardless, even Troopers are now taught not to engage unless it’s a life threatening thing (like a kidnapping). It puts too many lives in the line. They grab the plate and don’t give chase anymore. You are putting the officers life and hundreds of civilian lives in harms way, so chases are becoming less prevalent.

What sedan?

They were good at running into things for the movies!

Too much gear to carry with shields, helmets etc to use sedans anymore. Plus the rear seat of SUV’s offer more room and comfort for the customers

 

[JExpedition07]

With the Charger leaving and the Taurus extinct there probably isn’t one left. Shame.

Hate to break it to you guys but the legroom in the Crown Victoria is larger than the Explorer by an inch. A Crown Victoria also has 2 more cubic feet of stowage capacity than an Explorer. Have you seen a Crown Vic trunk? You can fit 3 people inside. Barring 4WD the Vic is a more comfortable spacious ride with a longer wheelbase. With todays IRS technology, a unibody setup and engines on offer it would run great and do virtually everything better besides off-road. I never understood the mid size SUV/CUV craze. Todays Blazers and Explorers are unibody based and don’t really do anything better than a sedan. They have low payloads, low ground clearance, are built on a sedan unibody chassis anyways, most are FWD with a shorter wheelbase and an inward sloped rear. Really just a big compromise of a vehicle (IMHO)
