- Did you know there was a Tier ABOVE the P71 Police Interceptor? ladies and gentlemen meet the final form of the P71 and that is...the Highway Patrol Crown Victoria.
Highway patrol versions of P71's came with a slew of different upgrades and advantages over the regular stock crown vic p71. in this video i will be covering all of the extra goodies that came in this already legendary car!

I will always love you girl :(
my Top 5 Highway Patrol Depts are as follows
#1 Florida Highway Patrol
#2 California Highway Patrol
#3 Tennessee Highway Patrol
#4 Georgia Highway Patrol
#5 Texas State Troopers
Mr Random Reviews , I found my black 2010 model in 2017 and it had 111,000 miles on it and in immaculate condition. There is a plate on the dashboard that says Property Of Longview. You put out a video about how some police departments paint some of their cars solid black themselves making them into detective models although mine had the cage and bar windows. In the last year I’ve noticed paint chipping off the door trimming clearing exposing white and now under the back door panel. Hopefully I can get a paint marker from Auto Zone and touch it up because the rest of the vehicle is perfect gloss black. Thanks again for your videos. Vics are awesome.
@@josephray7750 paint markers or black nail polish works great for those little white spots👍
@@MrRandomReviews unfortunately ill be on the road I am an expediter/truck/escort driver I really wanted to im hoping to either host a meet here in GA or make the another meet . this is my crown Vic btw Mr random the only crown vic I know with a charger wraparound th-cam.com/video/Zfp5mZHLKog/w-d-xo.html
You ever check out Wild Rose 911 - company in CA that refurbish & sell Crown Victoria's P71 & P7B cars?
@@MrRandomReviews is there a difference between the state police/highway patrol standard P71 and the state police/highway patrol detective's/undercover p71?
Edit: Also, did the federal agencies (FBI, DEA, ETC) use p71 crown Victoria's as well? And if they did use them, what is the difference between the standard p71, and the federal law enforcement p71?
Sorry for all the questions.
The anti-theft was aftermarket non-factory; there was no such thing as a "high patrol package." The extended seat belt is a ford part that doesn't come with the car, but it can be ordered at the dealer as an accessory; usually, the officer would go to any dealer and ask for one at the parts counter. The fire suppression system was an option that can be added to any P71; it was option # 60T. The decal on the back windows was added by the department, not from the factory. Dark Mode was also an option for any P71, option # 478. As for the skid plates, that was also aftermarket non-factory. The alternator has always been the same for the P71; it came standard with a 200 amp, no P71 came with anything different from the factory. Remote Start was also an aftermarket non-factory installed by the department. The engine block heater was a factory option; I think it was option 41H. Again there was no such thing as a "high patrol package."
Well said.
Yes, you definitely know your P71s👍🏼
Thank you for saving me the rage rant, this dude needs to get his facts straight
Thank goodness some one said it lmao this guy knows nothing about crown vics and it hurts my head with these videos
good job on the information.
I have one of the last P7Bs (the final incarnation of the P71) in service (British Columbia Highway Patrol - RCMP) . I'm glad to see my block heater makes it an elite piece of kit! All joking aside my P7B is an awesome ride and treats me well. We been in so many sketchy situations together and its pulled me out each time.
Does your P7B have catalytic converters on it? Years ago we were in Montreal for a work detail, & we were able to speak with one of the local Officers there & he let us check his Crown Vic out. It had the speedometer in Kilo’s & other related markings were French Canadian, at least I think that’s what they use, but we just didn’t think at the time to ask him about the exhaust. It was a cool car to see never the less!
I never had a Crown Vic but did have a 1972 Matador with a 360, 727 Torqueflite, HD cooling & suspension, high output alternator.
It was a two door LAPD detective's car with fully reclining split bench seat.
Fun car to drive!
Tennessee gang where you at? Also CVPI lovers.
At?? "Where are you" is all you need.
Right here

Yess sirr
The old Alaska State Troopers Crown Vic are the most beautiful of them all! Love the look! Greetings from The Netherlands.
my crown Vic is a former highway patrol car thank you for explaining the dark mode feature I was kind of curious as to why my lights never came on when I opened the door I thought it was just like some wiring issue that they took out when they took out all the police stuff that's actually a pretty sweet explanation for that thank you
Your local Ford dealer can turn off dark mode for you so your lights will work again. Check your bulbs though. In mine, they just removed the bulbs instead of having the dark mode activated.
@@jasoncooper3116 thanks for the info but I actually like it the way it is with the dark mode mine the light bulbs didn't get removed my dome light still turns on I just have to push in the headlight turn on switch cuz you know you turn it on for the hazards you turn it on for the headlights most cars you got to like push it in or pull it out to turn the fog lights on I push mine in and it turns the dome light on I kind of like it with a dark mode on makes it seem more actually like a cop car I kind of like to keep it that way
Imagine losing a drag race to a cruiser 10 years older
This post was made by 9C1 gang
Haha yup I got a roadmaster, I pass vics easier than I though it would
@@Papa7Bravo trust me I heard the 4.6, it sounded good when I passed him but It isnt enough for the lt1
@@Papa7Bravo for sure I like the vics over all the new police cars
I have a former chp P71. Like he said, make way for the king!!!😂 your p71 videos have helped me tremendously.
I love my Panthers. Lived in St Pete for over a decade and saw lots of those. 2003 is my favorite year. Got all four made that year.
I have a retired Pennsylvania State Trooper. I really wish I could go to the Bama meet. Greetings from Baltimore
Love the video. My Dad was a.Township Supervisor and Chairman of the Board of Supervisors in our township. We bought 2 Unmatked CROWN VICS one year . An 85 and an 83. The 83 we got rid of. Bad motor. The blue 85 ran like a house on fire. What a great car. Now I own a 1996 Lincoln Town Car which is the 2nd year to the end of the Panther Platform. I'm the second owner. I absolutely love it. I'll definitely be getting a shirt.
Some of those hood vents are actually made for Jeep Wranglers...even has the Poison Spyder logo on it.
That is one badass ride. 😎
I actually had one of these. Unfortunately I got into a wreck, and I had to deploy the FSS. My heart is crushed still, as it was recent, but it was cool to see the FSS in action. Even had a dash cam running to catch it!
If someone can help me find another FSS CVPI, that would be great...
Great informitive video godfather... I never knew there waa a level up on the vic. Wow!!! This is why i love vis so much. They seem so simple so basic... But there's so much more to them. I want to cone out to the PPV fest this year. Im confused about the location. This videl says its in Alabama... But your other video says Tennessee 🤷🏾
yes sir the meet is in alabama but some of us are driving from tennessee 👍
@@MrRandomReviews damn...i cant make that trip. Im 4 hours from Tennessee. If the meet was held there this weekend, i would definitely come out and show love. But seeing how it is in Alabama, theres no way i can take that much needed time off work last min. When will you have a meet in Tennessee? Or VA, DC, MD???? Im willing to come out to a local meet on a random weekend.. Let me know. Best of luck, safe travels. Thanks for the great content.
Hey! I have a question about the history of my 2011 Crown Victoria P7B. It is a former West Virginia State Police car, has tan interior with carpeting, dark blue exterior with signs of the original paint having some yellow possibly, 2K idle hours, one spotlight hole on driver’s side, no evidence of there ever being a cage, three holes on trunk in triangular shape and only one hole on top and lastly has the full decorative bar going across sides (so no police stickers on doors I guess). Would you happen to know what it used to be? Is it a highway patrol Crown Vic? Thanks!
The AC systems in these seem to last forever. The air in all my Panthers still blows ice cold. Really really cold.
I was late seeing this. I wish I had known about the meet yesterday. Maybe I can make it to the next one.
Someone's going to have to tell Cleetus McFarland about this HP P71. He would definitely make that his standard Crown Victoria since the GT500 vic blew. A Highway Patrol P71 SVT Crown Vic. Stay true to the original displacement but it just has a SVT Cobra 4-V 4.6 engine in it.
Awesome video.
Can you confirm if some of Highway Patrol Crown Vic’s came with the 5.4 V-8?
I was at a fair in Ohio years ago. They had a Ohio State Highway Patrol Vic. The motor was the 5.4 V-8. I asked them and they said it was the pursuit special Vic for the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Nope. They all came with the SOHC 4.6L. No matter what package they ordered. The most powerful motor ever put in the Panther platform was the 32V 4.6L from the Mustang Cobra sans supercharger. That was in the Mercury Marauder and a highly limited number of cars ordered by Bob Bondurant but that came with a T56 Manual.
Didn’t come factory that way, this is the first I’m hearing of this
@@wesleysnipes9395 www.hemmings.com/stories/2019/04/26/hemmings-find-of-the-day-ex-bondurant-driving-school-1999-ford-crown-victoria-police-interceptor
It was ordered through Ford and built by Roush.
The 5.4 was too tall to clear the hood according to Ford .
@@Viper81766 the truck intake was to tall. You can make a 4.6 car intake work on a 5.4 and it fits nicely under the hood. Many people have swapped the 5.4 into these cars.
Both engines are physically the same dimension
my 06 P71 was an ex chp police interceptor that was on chp's border division, definitely a desert car that was made for southern California's 100+ degree weather
Love ur vic bro and love those departments too
Got grand marquis 2002 but enjoy this. Love my panther.
My P71 has a block heater and skid plates, it came from Minnesota
You can enable and disable 'dark mode' with the Windows version of FORScan and a CAN bus compatible scantool that can connect to a PC.
Kinda novel, but wildly impractical.
@@silicon212 Oh nice! I can definitely appreciate a low tech method that's a cinch compared to the tedious method on the newer generations!
Very cool, I almost bought a california highway patrol P71 but it had a white roof and I was concerned about the transmission being toast from all those hard accelerations from a dead stop. But maybe I should have bought it anyway
I love your black crown victoria.
I just bought a crown victoria .
Do you know if it's illegal to put a police interceptor on the trunk?????
My 2010cvpi has fire suppression it was the sheriffs car also I’m pretty sure most p71/p7b has “dark mode” or “dark car”
Mine has dark mode but doubt it's a highway package. That can be obtained I believe my messing with some wires under the passenger dash
Dark mod was an option
My Vic has the dark mode option. It was an available option on all Crown Vic Police Interceptor, not just highway patrol units. My Crown Vic also has that hidden shift interlock switch so that it won't shift out of "PARK" when you leave the Vic running. Again, it's not a highway patrol model. Those were available factory options on the CVPI. Mr. Random knows his stuff, but he slipped on this info. No big deal, though. His videos are always great.
The block heater isnt a police thing for canada, every car sold here has one. It simply has one to pass regulations here.
Wow I love this video, great info
You know most of the stuff said in this video was incorrect
Have any of you guys ever seen a sheriff 06-11 p71 with the digital speedometer I remember seeing one in 2008 in texas I've never seen any other like that
Crown vics: we wuz kangs an shiet.
My 2006 P71 had a 220 Amp. It was a retired Wisconsin HP.
Wow I really did not know that the highway patrol p71s had so many cool upgrades over the regular p71s
Yup they do, I heard they more faster
I have a 2010 p7b former cook county sheriff unit and a 2007 p71 the 2007 I don’t know where it’s from but it is way faster then the 2010 we raced them and the 07 beats it every time.
Yeah
@@djzazou many of these features are modifications and the axles are chosen by the dept
I use to own a 97 P71, and now I own a 2003 LX edition
Mine has a block heater and its got a battery box in the trunk, its got some reflective tape on the sides. I was told it was a ghost car, rcmp highway patrol unit
Block heater : laughs in Canadian
I beliee the difference between city cop cars and highway chp's is the gear ratio is higher on a highway patrol for better high end highway pursuits,just less throttle in the city and 155mph on the highway!! They had ratios,i forget them,but high was highway and 129mph p71 was the local ratio!!
Is that a hybrid plug in Vic 😂👌🏼🤙🏼🇺🇸🦅🦅
I live in St. Clair county, which is the county, below the county, below the county from the county Huntsville is in (Madison) lol a little over an hour depending if there’s road work or not
HP cars and other P71’s are all the same it just depends on how the agency chose to have their cars speced out.
Are they going to have a around Indiana or to Indiana because I have a crown victoria p71
Where can I get that pit maneuver bar?
I thought they came with bigger Rims&tires for higher speed capabilities also.
Don't try to church it up son it's still a Crown Vic
Literally the best all round car for 2 decades. Eat shit
@@zuestoots5176 You're Made Of spare parts aren't ya bud
I have an 01 vic and am wondering if it was ever used for police, I think it may be a sap, street appearance package, it has an lx badge on the trunk but still there is just something about it, I bought it from an older man who got it from an auction in NC...any sugestions would be apreciated...ty
check the vin# if the first 5 leters say P71 then its a SAP if not then its a civillian vic
I'd check the odometer, read somewhere that the usage is counted in hours, not miles.
@@thecoxsays1.....no. All CVPIs count mileage like any other car on the road. 06+ CVPIs do have hour meters but it doesn't replace the mileage on the odometer. OPs best bet is to just look at the VIN like MrRandom said
@@Raptus_Gaming oh
Or on the instrument cluster has a suppression system warning light
City Pd, County Deputy, State Trooper P71, which vehicle is faster?
The p71's with aluminum drive shafts were governed to 129. some came with steel shafts that topped out in the 140's
Just got my P 71 a few months ago I’d love to come but you are way too far for me do you have any other Vick meats that are close to the Dallas area
Lets be friends! Just got my P71 this month and im in the Dallas area
Me too
What’s that game that you showed in the video

can someone tell me a little more about the backup generator he was talking about I have never heard of such a thing?
@@davidhensley148 thanks my car has it is there a way to tell if it would still work without activating it.
Best CHP Car, 1969 Dodge Polara with the 440.
Is there a link to purchase the shirts?
its located above the comment section
I didn't have a fire suppression system, but the damn light would go off sometimes. Must have been a bug.
I sure do miss it and it's throaty engine. I sold it to get a Camry. 😭 Better mileage for this Illinois high taxes cesspool.
Dark mode is actually incredibly common on all vics, not sure why he said it was only common on highway patrol cars. Pretty much any police vehicle you find actually is going to have dark mode
NJ state Police has all Ecoboost Utilities. All Police DEPT use regular 3.7L
Our pd uses eco boost explorers.
Already got a 250 amp altercator.
Any new meets?
No Marauder engine?
Good info! Very interesting!
neat info and cool shirts
Don't HP cars have different gearing too?
yesir
@@djzazou I have a 2011 cvpi 3.55 lsd and it gets it she's a beasttt

Bring the Crown vic meets to Virginia, Maryland DC area!!!
The Virginia State Police’s retired CVPI’s have low counts for the "Miles driven" meter, which is a good thing for some people...
@@brianwong7285 🤔
@@johnnyturbo8460 Some guy who was on the US & Canadian Diecast Police Car Forums bought one at auction and people mentioned that if the 'miles driven' count was too high the car is effectively considered as pretty worn out...
@@brianwong7285 oh ok
Sorry about Stella.
I have a CHP Crown vic it really isn't anything special, the only thing that's unique to it would be it's light sand stone interior and the fact that it has carpet and rear cloth seats instead of vinyl. As others have mentioned you have some crazy ideas in this video.
Its special because everyone merges to the side to get out of the way when you're driving
The Top tier is a mercury Marauder
Very good 👍👍👍👍
Who wouldn't know about the vic?
Car meet still on for 13th ?? 🤔
I miss my P71 😔 New cars can't match up at all
Very nice
So you're back to crown vics? So I thought you gave the Vic up to be the Corvette guy... If you are back to vics I think you owe an apology to the panther community for switching my boy. In sure they knew you never really switched but it happened.
bro...ive BEEN back on crown vics...the king never left.
Haha what
@@MrRandomReviews I know im talking about when you were off for a second.
@@MrRandomReviews even Kings need a lil vacation away every once in a while.
P71 but car 281?
Cool 😃
Too bad. Mine only has dark mode. Ex DE state car tho!
They were a well liked car by the police. They almost never over heated unlike the Chevrolets pursuit vehicle cars. Yes the Chevrolets were faster but didnt handle as well. My information came from a Police chief in Idaho.
You were told wrong, and that Chief doesn't know WTF they're talking about. I drove a Crown Vic from 1999 to 2007, and they sucked big time! They overheated easily in the summer, the brakes sucked, the rear end was light which made it easy to spin out, and they accelerated like a turtle from a dead stop.
The 9C1 Chevrolet Caprice on the other hand, was fast as hell, it DID NOT overheat in 100 degree temperatures, stopped on a dime, accelerated like a rocket and had a 150-160 mph top speed.
Oh finally, my department switched from Crown Vics to Dodge Chargers with V-6's in 2007, the V-6 Charger made the same amount of horsepower and was significantly faster than a 4.6 liter V-8 Vic.
@@jrftworth Well excuse me. I guess I was told wrong.
You call yourself the “king”, but there never was a highway patrol option. These are just extra features that departments could order. Also all interceptors came with dark mode enabled.
man dont take things so literal all the time..."highway patrol package" is a way to help the viewers know theres a difference between what im talking about and a "regular" p71.
seems like most intelligent people get the concept...key word...most
@@MrRandomReviews every p71 is a regular p71, depts ordered cars how they wanted them. Just because one car has a different rear end than another doesn’t make it another package
Theres different breeds of cvpi's 😯
Not really only like 3. P74 p71 and the famed Roush built cars
What's the video game

I wish I could go to this event I have a 2006 p71 with Civilian front seats Special order because it Is a Juvenile Court transport illegal
Only 205 idle hours

P7B > P71.
Crown Vic Never had a optional Highway patrol package. There are many different options that could be ordered. The engine start override you show is aftermarket, Ford did offer a Factory Ignition Override . They were Plug N Play You need to do more research before you do the videos. a lot of false info. Did you know there was even a cooling fan option for the trunk to keep the electronics cool ?
Yeah he's notorious for giving out false info
Love the vid but I'm on the other side of that law
Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do, what you gonna do, when they come for you ? ( repeats x2 ).
Cops is filmed on location with the men and women of the law enforcement, all suspects are innocent until proven guilty, in a court of law.
The Crown Victoria is a car that is well liked by so many people, by regular people, cab drivers, and by police, which includes current and former services members.
I want to get 2 or more of these cream of the crop Crown Victoria car for daily driver, and for car shows with competition car audio system inside the trunk and possibly in the back seat.
Liking the video too.
Okay great
First!!!
Well considering a v6 Camry will walk one of these things! The 4.6 is a great engine but by today’s standards it’s a dog!
It’s soo much you can do though to wake that 4.6 up
I would swap a 4.6 out of a 1993 Lincoln Mark Viii
I see after all these year you are spewing useless stuff that has nothing to do with just being a highway patrol cars. All these options are that options any department could get them. Because every department picked and chose wich options they wanted. Did you ever get that impersonation charge. Since you use to claim that you were a cop
glad to see my haters still watching after ALL THESE YEARS😂😘
The Crown Vic was a piece of shit in every aspect. I drove one for 7 years on patrol and they were the worst patrol vehicle I've ever driven.
The best police car ever made was the 1994-96 Chevrolet Caprice with the LT-1 engine. The Caprice was the king of the road
you aint fooling nobody bruh...GTFO
