Vehicles filmed at Dealerships are For Sale. Make sure to visit the dealerships website for detail info about each vehicle. If your watching a video thats older than 90 days you can expect that vehicle to most likely already being sold, unless its a new car.
FYI - Charleston Car Videos on TH-cam Started in 2011. Back in 2008 is when I started filming cars as a car salesman to give people a better way to see a new or used vehicle. Over the years I ended up selling over 450 vehicles from doing videos. Today 1000's of vehicles have sold from people using my car videos to sell cars at dealerships all over the South East Region.
I'm Chad Dolbier the creator of CCV. After High School I was unsure of what to do for a career as many young adults are. Instead of going to college I decided to start working in the car business in 2000. My first car job was at Acura of Charleston being a car detailer/washer. In 2003 our Acura store started to clear land next door and built Audi of Charleston. After a few years passing and still detailing Acura's & Audi's in 2005 I was asked to be a car salesman. In 2006 I started the Internet Department for Acura & Audi. Then in 2008 is when the car videos all started up! 2010 is when I left Acura & Audi and started my own car dealership video business. So far today I've built TH-cam channel for over 18 car brands & dealerships. So enjoy my channel and hopefully you can learn something new! As always I enjoy learning from you as well so make sure to send me your feedback!

The red light is used at night, when you don’t want the white light to mess up your “night vision.” Red light does not irritate one’s eyes, so they’re commonly used in police and military environments.
This thing is really fresh. There's not even a center console yet. Next stop is the upfitter to get all the partitions, storage racks, and light controls installed. They'll also install the center console which sometimes has a rubber arm pad on it.
I work for a company that manufactures police equipment. We have a couple of these for product demos. The engine is the normal Explorer 3.7L. However, it has a higher idle and different shift program from the civilian version. It has enough power to get out of its own way, but it isn't as quick as my F150 Ecoboost.
It's a good thing you didn't sit in the back seat and close the door. Many of these ship from the factory with the interior door handles completely disabled. On the old Crown Vics they'd toss the pieces in a plastic bag inside the door cavity so they could be later "repaired".
Fun Fact: the 3.7 V6 isn't available on the civilian counterpart of the Explorer nor Taurus.
@@atx-cvpi_99 YEP! It's a derivative of the Mustang's 3.7L "Cyclone".
A red light will not kill your night vision, but will still allow you to see stuff. Also, the key is like that so that you can leave the car running and still lock it if you have to jump and run from the car.
It's because Ford's been making those key blanks and keyfobs for over 20 years and they're cheaper than keys that have the Passive Anti-theft chip embedded in them (regular folks that buy a used Interceptor can purchase the integrated keyfob and program it at home). My sister's '96 Mustang had the same keyfob. These newer cars will not let you exit the vehicle and lock the doors (I've tried). Departments that want the vehicle secure with the engine running will install a "SafeStop" device. It allows the key to be removed from the ignition which keeps the steering and shifter locked and also allows the doors to stay locked.
The seats are really tough because they're probably stab proof, they used to have that on the crown vics. The doors also used to be ballistics rated so they could take small rounds. I'd assume it's the same on that. Also that big light is the ticket writing light. The red light is there bc it's harder to notice at night. Red light would be harder to see through the tinted windows plus it's easier on your eyes bc of the wavelengths or whatever.
Love police interceptor models. When you buy one privately you can drive in the left lane of the interstates doing 20 over the limit and people move over. Hahaha it's great
Don't think yo
+henry ford. get much of a break if real trooper catches you.
Yeah they'll probably get annoyed your trying to be one of them
Nothing beats a Crown Vic in your rear view mirror for instilling fear. These newer police cars just don’t have the touch.
maybe bc they dont want you to crash in to them lol
Make sure to SUBSCRIBE & HELP the Channel Grow! New Chevy Tahoe Police Vehicle coming out soon!!!
High CO levels are now standard on all Ford Explorer Interceptors.
Haha im Germany we have 2.0 l Diesel with 190 hp
another guy trying to do a car review but don't no anything about cars or the car hes reviewing
I beg the differ. been doing car reviews since 2008 on TH-cam and have helped thousands of people find the perfect vehicle for them and there families. your welcome to have your own thoughts about me from watching one video, but I actually like not acting like a know it all and enjoy reading peoples feedback on my channel. my reviews are more like a vlog and we're checking the vehicles out for the first time together. like a reaction review or 1st impressions. again I don't claim to be some Super Duper Automotive Guru. I'm just a guy that loves filming cars.
And what does a stupid useless senator from the worse state in the country know about car reviews? Hell Maxine waters doesn't. Even know how to be a proper politician lol 😂 Shouldn't you be destroying our country and marking California worse or something? Lol 😂
dont forget to vote fuck boy
Maxine Waters I don’t see any car reviews on your channel so you don’t have much room to talk shit
"But don't ' no' anything"
I’d agree, he doesn’t know a lot about police models. Maybe normal cars, sure, but the police models have features that civilian cars don’t.
The red dome light inside the vehicle is used for night time use.
Let's say that the officer needed to read a paper document or he dropped a pen or his/her phone on the floor, that red interior dome light allows the officer to see inside the vehicle but not be seen from the outside.
Pretty much makes it harder for a bad guy or average person to see what is going on in the vehicle.
Also less strain on the eyes.
Plus just so you know thoes ford police vehicles have a proximity sensor so if the officer is parked in a parking lot typing a report and a bad guy is trying to sneak up on the officer to ambush him/her the car alerts the officer with beeping then the windows roll up and the doors lock.
Vehicle has to be in park and it has to be enabled by the workshop that it's going to or by ford themselves
Joseph Gallagher just say you a cop!

Red light preserves night vision. You can turn off the light and immediately see in the dark vs a white light where your eyes have to readjust.
This does not make it hard for the “bad guys” to see you.... idk why people post opinions instead of factual answers.
you were right about the 2nd part, but the first not at all. The reason why Domelights are red or blue is solely to preserve nightvision and not bleach the eyes.
! ObamaTookMyCat ! Echo!! Echo!!
This Ford Explorer Police Interceptor Utility Always Keep Passing By High Elms Lane In Glen Cove NY Doing 40 km/h While I’m Driving
your the man a very interesting and cool look into what our brothers in blue get to experience. all thumbs up
Missed the extra reinforced crash bar while looking at the spare tire in the trunk. That’s a big add-on.
Yep...you can take a direct hit while sitting still from the back at 75mph and walk away unscathed.
@@YankeeWoodcraft Yes, according to the sticker above the trunk, a fully inflated full sized spare tire in the trunk along with the reinforcement is supposed to save you from a 75 mph rear end crash.
The red light inside helps keep an officers night vision while on the vehicles electronics while on patrol.
The rear doors do open more then a regular Explorer.
I’ve never seen a police interceptor with Daylight Running Lamps.
10 Minutes of breathing and grunting noises...
Lmao
Where did you get this one from friend, I'm looking for exactly this. Any auctions, links sites etc. are helpful, thank you in advance.
Officer 401! 💪
3.7 is not regular explorer eng. they employ 3.5s. at least in previous years.
yeah... the 3.7 is a mustang engine.
Yep...3.7's are Cyclones from Mustangs.
Should we discuss the ongoing litigation against Ford and Sick Officers??
Im still trying to find the strobe lights i see alot of led lights but no strobes
Lol!!
Officer 401!!! Ayeeee
The red dome light is for ‘Party mode’ but you didn’t hear that from me! The actual “Bad boys Bad boys” theme song jams through the speaker but this one doesn’t have the radio installed yet. Yes many people will argue that it’s for night vision & softer on the eyes but hey I’ve got the facts. You’re welcome!🤓
Isaac your exactly right! I knew those Police Officers were having a party with those red dome lights lol.
The red light in the interior at 10:55 is for surveillance purposes. When it's "red" inside, the officer can see the outside better (or clearer, I'd say), even when it's dark out. This is just how our eyes react to the dark.
no, not at all. Red and blue light doesnt destroy your natural night vision. So if you have to do anything inside the car or read anything, you can turn the red light on to preserve night vision, while also gaining illumination. The red light is very noticeable at range... so you turn that on at night people will see you just as good if not worse than the white flood light. I will have to say from experience, that its a bitch reading Drivers Licenses with red print at night when you turn that light on... it all disappears....
I have owned 12 crown Victoria s. I bought a used 2015 Police Exploder.. I runs great with the upgraded interior. Downfalls the motor mounts last around 100000 miles. If the water pump goes out its an expensive fix.I would buy another one.The red light dome light really doesn't work for me.
He is using agp’s theme song
ik lol
10:37, my guess would be that its used for night, bluish colors iritates ur eyes and the bright white would just make ur pupils explode at night. Remember it takes like 30 seconds each time for ur eyes to get fully "adjusted" in and out of tunnels for example. So that would be my guess and reason... it doesnt irritate
the red light is for night time it wont blind the officer at night as much while there driving...
It’s got the 2018 grille but 2017 fog lights
Corey Gillet makes sense
88MS88 Grill
Kendall Grennan Favorite Car
I’m no cop but the red dome light makes your night time vision better. White light messes up your vision at night. Same reason street lights are a reddish hur
That’s not the horn sound that police use
Also, I thought I was going to buy one from an auction but I don't think I will, just buy a new normal explorer platinum and buy everything I need like, amber lights, steelies, push bar, and spotlight. I just love the look of that and i would have everything I need for first response
whats the max service life in idle hours and combined mileage.
The suspension and brakes
is upgraded and so is the differential gear ratio most times.
Can A Police Officer Can Buy The Ford Police Interceptor Utility
Video gets much better after throwing back a few beers👍
LOL!
Alot more tech in these explorers. First you got the 3.7l v6 then the 6 speed transmission is tuned for law enforcement. It can hold gears through turns if it feels your driving aggressive. It also has special welded frame through the chassis for strength. Many things but yes it's pretty basic inside.
First off, Great video. Second, The dome light you're talking about is obviously multi use. The white function can be used whenever obviously and the red function is primarily used for night time use. Red is a lot easier on the eyes at night. So when there are citations being written/typed or anything else where you could use just a tiny bit of light, That's where the red comes into play.
Say you pulled someone over and have their drivers license in your hand, You need to run that person's information thru a database located on the computer that the officer would have in his/her vehicle. Well obviously you need a light to read the drivers license and type that info into the computer right? Well that's where that red function comes into play. It's a very dim red illumination that comes from that light. If you were to use the white function of that light, It would take a long time for your eyes to readjust back to the darkness, Let's just hope that the person you have pulled over has not already jumped out of their vehicle and is rushing to you to possibly injure/kill you. Well now you can't see because your eyes have not readjusted to the night time. You don't necessarily have that problem with the red. I hope this helps you better understand what its use is for. Thank you again for the cool video, Hope I helped.
The wall is actually called a partition.
As a civ, Can you but these from factories without all the electronic gear?
They have heavy duty radiotars and brake calipers heavy duty suspensions and enforced frame against collisions and front doors as well plus special glass. That way all taxi cab in new York city buy them they good for idelling they don't get over heat that easy
it can backup real quick too
ha ha I bet they can! especially when having to chase after someone lol.
lol
The 3.7 isn't available on a normal Explorer or Taurus. They are special installs for the Interceptors... and some actually have the 3.5 Ecoboost... while others have the Ecoboost badge yet have a 3.7
Not true at all. The 3.7 is in a lot of ford vehicles including the mustang and always have been. Most Taurus and Explorers have the 3.7... There is NOTHING special about this motor in the police series... only tough radiator and connections.
I am aware of the 3.7 being a factory component of several Ford Motor Company products. However, the Taurus and it's chassis sister the Explorer were available with the *3.5* naturally aspirated v6, not the 3.7.
"Special Install" refers to the 3.7 being only available in the "Interceptor" model for the Taurus/Explorer.
Compared to the consumer 3.5 v6, the 3.7 definitely out performs it, while being cheaper than the Ecoboost option. That being said, some departments spend the extra cash for the 3.5 Twin Turbo which delivers top of the line acceleration.
There is nothing "special" about the 3.7. Its okay but that it's. The 3.5 EB is a beast. The standard 3.5 really sucks.
Bob Bob actually the 3.7 is Code named the "Cyclone" for a reason. It is basically a v6 Coyote motor. They both share the same twin cam technology known as Ti-VCT
Interesting didn't know that. The 5.0 is a beast.
I guess you didn't get into the details and hidden upgrades to the police package. Transmission, rear end ratios, beefed up quarter panels, etc.
No I did not. It was my first time ever seeing one of these in person. So this was more like a reaction type video, but our Ford store has a shipment of police vehicles coming towards the end of this month. I will try and give everyone a better review this time around. thanks, Chad
Sir, why is the gearshift still on the wheel? Other cars got it on the middle console right?
The civilian explorer has a 3.5L motor where the police package has a 3.7L
Why Does The Ford Explorer Police Interceptor Utility Use A Key Instead Of Keyless Entry
Wonder if it has SCMODS?(State County Municipal Offender Data System)
I HAVE A 2019 EXPLORER POLICE INTERCEPTER ,WHAT IS THE BATTERY USED FOR BEHIND THE 2ND ROW SEAT ?
Keyless Entry Is Optional On All Ford Police Interceptors Sedan (Taurus) And Utility (Explorer) 2016 2019 Models
they all have them these days i love the vic
Bepen what kinds of the budget of the Police Depots have ?
I love how this guy never does any research. just phoning it in.
Red doesnt mess with your night vision as for white light
Love it
The red light is easy on the eyes when doing something like paperwork or radar without hurting the officers eyes
Red is used at night to preserve night vision.
Make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector inside!
Red is for them to drive and when it's on and night time doesn't strain there eyes so they can still see at night without having a white light to strain your eyes
Yeah they do
Why Doesn’t The Back Seat Have Headrests
What tipe of color black is that i mean the paint ? Thank you
I was hoping for you to turn on the strobe lights lol
The wall will be put in by law enforcement dept. The red light makes it easier to adjust bright lights at night .
Daytona edition is where it's at. 540hp v6 3.7 twin turbo
Where’s The Wipers
You're playing Angry Grandpa's theme song
The red light is so it doesn’t ruin your night vision if you use a white bright light at night then you will have problems adjusting to the dark again
Thanks for the input Zack. Sometimes I wonder how many of you guys know all of this, but then I think maybe your police officers watching my review.
I see a different grille, LED front turn lights maybe and actual fog lights.Usually police Explorer don't have fog lights. I don't think headlights light up the led strip around the housing on the PI's. Usually the housing is different for the PI vehicles even tough it looks the same. They have a special access hole to mount that side police light . Civilian headlights don't have that opening.
It’s all in the way you order it. Most departments jump on a regional or state bid where they save money because so many are bought. They just take them the way that the bulk order is made.
There are led emergency lights under the highbeams on this Explorer. And yes the “fog” lights are actually led warning lights as well
Patty mayos car ??😂
Setina Cages Are Required For Tje Baca Seats
Man all the people that don’t know the difference between an LED flood or strobe xD Yes, LEDs come in both, and in this instance, they are strobes. Strobe refers to the behavior of the light, not the light itself. If it flashes, it’s a strobe; if it’s steady on, it’s a flood.
Totally drive this...get ghost stripes on it too
5:04 It’s A Baton
Red is better for night vision.
I didn't think the police interceptor models came with fog lights.
7:02 you got that right but theres a column shifter
Hope to have them in Australia one day soon.
Australia I Drives On The Left These Cars Are Designated To Drive On The Right
Donny's Page Australia Must Drive On The Right In Order To Have Ford Police Interceptor Utility.
Very nice explorer very basic it is way beyond base model lol but so cool so nice u were able to see this vehicle
Is this vehicle available for everyone to buy or just law enforcement?
Ethan, I'm pretty sure its just for law enforcement. A few days after I filmed this video the local Charleston Police department came to pick it up.
The red light is for night traffic stops. Your eyes adjust better going from red light to darkness.
3:32- why do you always say XLT is loaded? It’s almost base model
It’s Officer 401
Officer401
He forgot about the ION that sits in the corner of the headlight module
Why were the hazards on
Yeah, our dealer was trying to get us to take a look at some PI Explorers when we bought our Sport. They were practically giving them away, but the 3.7 is pretty weak and they are very basic inside. They also have some drawbacks....features...the average person wouldn't want. The only thing I did like about them, other than the price, was the column shifter. They were willing to take $29,000 for either of them.
Black cloth??? That would be fun to clean blood, puke and piss off of.
So let's put the 3.5 EB vs 3.7 debate to rest here. Start the debating under this comment, I'm looking to buy an explorer soon so I want you guys to help me... 3.5 EB or 3.7?
Great Idea Ignacio. I'll see what I can find out about those motors as well. Maybe I can do test drive review on both types of motors in the Explorer to help with your decision. Chad
CharlestonCarVideos thank you brother ! I honestly thought I wasnt going to get a response from ANYONE! I never would've thought YOU would've responded! But I'm looking forward to you reviewing both types of police interceptor motors in the explorer because I'm going to end up getting one of them! Thank you so much!
Quick question to you or anyone who owns a 2016 or newer model.. can you display Km/h on the digital middle speedometer, or any other way? I have been toying with the idea of importing one into Canada since they are almost impossible to find here right now. Thank you in advance.
Alan Richard Also Mexico 🇲🇽
Alan Richard These Cars Only Have MPH
Thank you for your reply.. just wanted to know if I had to pay extra to have the gauge cluster swapped.
Not much of a review other than, "look at that, look at this"
What’s the horsepower?
Does the 2018 still have to water pump problems?
Not a problem as much as a design flaw. They were Mazda engines with the pump inside the motor. When it wasn't maintained right (i.e. coolant changes), the double seal in the pump would fail. That went all the way up to 2020 with the same design, but after 2015, Ford did something with the pumps that made them last longer.
I have a 2015 with 150,000 miles and it's still goin' strong.
😂😂 I'm fucking dead ( missiles)
how is this an in depth review when you obviously don't know anything in depth about the vehicle?
dude lower to the ground ., heavier suspension ,unlock engine extra wiring for the gadgets
Officer 401 he meant 😂
The Ford Explorer. It’s an object noun...
My sport explorer it's 55k, and this is just 41k?
