Love the videos guys! Keep up the great work Andre!
Who still loves the crown vic 👍
I liked the crown Vic and the impala as a patrol veh. It didn’t have a center counsel so you could get comfortable.
It really pisses me off frankly
Ford could have easily updated it
bare in mind in 2011 (the year the crown Vic was discontinued) the five liter coyote engine came out so a brand new power plant was there and ready
And I imagine if police departments wanted an all wheel drive car they could have easily added that to a refereshed crown Vic
And the Lincoln town car would have been possibly one of the most desirable luxury cars on the road
But no Ford discontinued it
And they’re missing out on a potential cash cow because people are scowering used car lots to find crown vics and town cars in good shapes
@@goldenretriever6440 couldn’t meet crash test requirements. Drawback of body on frame design
Not at all. It was slow and uncomfortable. I haven't been a huge fan of the Explorers but they were a big improvement over the Crown Vic. However, I just got a new 2020 Explorer in November and it is far and away the best patrol car I've driven so far in my career.
@@rhunt4014 Explorers are nice but they drive like boats and feel like they will rollover at any moment. I prefer the Charger pursuit over any other pursuit vehicle
I really hope these come up at local auctions in a couple years!
Ford makes awesome police vehicles
Not awesome when they track my ass down for speeding
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They really do tho
@@chknrsandTBBTROX73 🤣🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️ no, they don't. They're called exploders for a reason.
@@JohnDoe-nz6bk lol that was the first gen like in 1992.
"hey the new police truck is going to have a higher 120mph limit"
"Try five star tuning to get the most out of your truck" haha
Trucks can't handle those speeds the tires will explode
It’s funny because that “5 star tuned” Shelby f150 couldn’t keep up with a stock TRX
@@davidhuynh5600 it’s not difficult to get H rated tires for trucks. Geolander A/T G015s are and they’re one of my favorite tires.
@@davidhuynh5600 my lightning's speedo tops out at 140, and ive had it buried well past that. In the 150's i assume.
@@rrr3r2 you know that truck was having a issue right? It was the slowest truck. It was simple that something wasn’t working.
How's the comfort in the back seat? asking for a friend...
Lol . Well there's one way you can find out ..actually several
I heard headroom is ok...
Let me know what they say when you get an answer hahaha
Well if you have one without the portion...it's like any normal f150...with the portion...leg room is well...so little
Hahah his name Alki Hol?
Although this was meant to be for American police, this in a couple of years will be all over the place in Mexico, could see the municipal, state, and federal police using this
I got stopped by Policia Nacionale(sp?) in a Ford Ranger in Guatemala. They were carrying MP-5s. Guatemala is different.
@@MildlySlopedRoofsKill im guessing thats the national police, like the federal police in Mexico
Canada will keep the dog sleds and pedal bikes. We are so green here with Trudeau. No GHG are emitted here....no no no.
@@thankyou9085 Yes sir.
I see it with that dark blue color and the bars in the bed
Damn. Looks like I'll need a faster truck now!
I am a little surprised they didn’t use the power boost tech. Between long idle times and emergency power and of course speed. 🤔
I was wondering the same thing....seems that powerboost tech would check ALL the boxes for a police cruiser. Would eliminate some idle time and be politically favorable as a hybrid.
same here! Officers usually park their vehicles and keep them running while they are on patrol duty, burning taxpayer gas money....
@@louisseven9728 I’ve seen a cop sit in his car for his whole shift 8 hours. Not even kidding.
@@angelgjr1999 not taking sides here, but if it's my house or property he is protecting. I say "so be it!". Lol
Ford's 4WD auto system actually send power to both front and rear axles at all times, unless the front wheels are turned past a certain degree it will cut that power to the front wheels, unless slippage is detected it will engage the front again. On freeways the front axle's power will be cut over a certain speed (around 60 mph) to save on fuel economy, unless an agressive amount of power is put down for more acceleration.
Bad*ss! 😁😁😁👍👍👍
Available in Lariat and up trims too. Pretty cool to watch the power output screen when driving it.
And even the spare tire.
120mph? I've seen a 3.5 f150 do 150 with a small tune. Those twin turbo motors are insane
120 is where it's governed, I have a 13 3.5 and it's governed at 100 as I assume all other F-150s except maybe the raptors are
Probably governed at that speed based off of speed index rating of the new tires. F450's governed at 88 for the same reason.
@@Robert-qm7yi my current 3.5 is limited to 110 for some reason
@@ghostof9994 Probably a second gen or newer right? Mine is a 13 and I hear they bumped the speed up for the second gens and newer
Lol I run 120 in my ecoboost ranger
Mmmmmm. "Dear chief.... I've been a good boy this year, can I get one?"
Actually the a Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department is the one who does the fleet testing not LAPD... lol. Other than that awesome video.
I thought the LAPD did it at that road course they gave off the 5 in Sylmar.
Woah big difference! Thank GOD you pointed that out!!
@@joesmith2959 I’m always here to help... lol
U must be fun at party’s
Every time Ford baby 💜💪
I would definitely buy one when they out them out of service just like the old crown vicks. They were some fast tough cars
This is just a ford fx4 but yea sure waste ur cash buying a clapped out police vehicle without half the stuff the cops get. Maybe if it had more power better brakes better exaust stouter driveline heads wernt trashed from being idled for years. Let me know how the rebuild on heads trans and turbos go.
In SoCal, the Crown Vic's are still in use by LAPD.
@@EM-fi2qg actually, over 80% have been phased out and the rest are slowly being phased out as well. The Crown Vic was officially retired from service as of last year. In my area, around south OC majority are gone even in inland empire majority are completely gone.
Auction
@@Meqanicull here in LA area specifically where I live in Ventura county we only have Chevy Tahoes and the CHP are Explorers.
In 1970 as a rookie I had to drive an AMC Matador, It looked really bad but it would go like hell. When I retired I had a 2000 Ford Explore 4wd , top speed 114 and it was great for 8 years until It and I retired.
Way to go FORD!! Game wardens up north are gonna love this unit!
I can imagine how many people are gonna want to buy one when they auction these off years from now
They seem to be a xlt with a raptor engine and half an interior, with an increased speed limit to crash the truck at. They would have to be cheap to buy one.
Cop cars idle for months on end mileage is no indicator of how wore out they actual are.
@@Aussie_Damo I don’t think it’s XLT simple because of the 4A comes standard in Lariat and above trims . The police responder has all of them. All Ford XLT’s never came with 4A unlike some other brands that do have Ram, Chevy. You would need to get an lariat truck to get it. I think it’s lariat with replacement XL headlights and cloth seats and then police package on top.
I guess, if you like vehicles that are rode hard and put up wet on a repeat basis.
The Badge on the side says XL
I had a 2016 F150 Platinum EcoBoost 3.5 with a custom tune and I remove the top speed limiter on it inside the tune and I can tell you that F-150 is capable of over 150 because I had mine at 145 in California and it got there no problem. I was on the factory 20 inch wheels and Nitto Terra Grappler G2 tires. Of course my tune was putting down 575 pound-feet of torque to the rear tires and 385 horsepower at the rear tires.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should...tire separation at high speed isn’t fun.
@@cleetismcdougall5425 well that's the whole point isn't it to see if it can be done. Once I did it I put the top speed limit back down to 125 and never left it there and I never got back up to that speed again
As someone who drives on of these 5-6 days a week, they are amazingly fast for a pickup.
Interesting that they didn’t show a “cage” in the back to safely hold prisoners. Additionally I would have expected the hybrid as an option, lots of big cities would be interested.
That's what the bed is for. Tie downs on each side of bed perfect for handcuffs or chain's.
@@ddnmd I still see those in Mexico. I rarely see police trucks in America though.
@@angelgjr1999 Depends on where you live. See more out in the suburbs and rural areas than you will in the big cities. lol
Cages are racist
i imagine the hybrid system has yet to be duration tested at "pursuit speeds", knowing ford theyll figure it out, the demand is there 100%
This thing tuned would be a sleeper from hell
Ecoboosts are lasting. Im going to have to change my tune on turbos. The power/mpg is insane and they aren't failing.
The 1st gen had issues with timing chain stretch from dirty oil, gen 2 went to two timing chains (one per bank) which got rid of that problem, so yeah they are good to go now!
The "maximum" speed has nothing to do with the vehicle's capabilities it has everything to do with the tire speed rating or governor.
My current K9 vehicle is an off-the-lot 2014 F150 with 133k miles on it. Tops out at a whopping 95mph! I CAN'T WAIT to get my new 2023 Responder in a month or two!
This truck will never see 18mpg! More like 11mpg and those tires wont last long either! Too much fun under the hood. :)
I wonder if my home town police department will use these in the future, because they use Ford Police Interceptors ( Ford Taurus ) and the Ford Police Interceptor Utility ( Ford Explorer ), mostly the Interceptor Utility for their police cars, and community service officers use Ford F-150s.
Replaced the engine on a 2018 pursuit truck at around 20,000 miles. 2 2017s f150 3.5 ecos had oil pan issues right away. Plastic oil pans leaked. One currently has around 100,000 miles and has cam issues.
I have the 2020 and it’s good for my current assignment but I have noticed some short comings. One it gets 11.5 MPG average, and it’s not because I drive it fast because (2) you can’t drive it fast. Unless it is in a straight line, it will just one wheel peel. (3) the ten speed never knows what gear to pick, even in sport mode. You come up to clear an interaction, the 10 speed doesn’t know what to do, you floor it and it jumps all around, never knowing what’s happening. (4) it needs a bigger transmission cooler. Mine overheated the other day when I was in 4 wheel drive in some sand moving about 15 MPH and I had to stop and let it cool. (5) the 120 MPH limit is a joke. When I first got the truck, another officer was requesting a code 3 fill unit and I had wide open, flat, straight interstate with no cars and all I could do was 118. (6) it’s not that powerful. The 3.5 ecoboost is a dog.
What I like is the room and being able to sit up and see. You can easily jump curbs or whatever you need to do. Mine has a protective partition and can only seat one person, but there’s more room than the chargers and the people back here complain way less.
F-159 looks cool in uniform! Some departments here in Florida have been using them.
F 159...which model is that?
With all my the equipment they need to power and the amount of idle they do, I would think the hybrid F150 would be a better option.
I seen another comment that said he bets Ford didn’t want to put the hybrid power train in quite yet as it’s still new and if it fails it would give Ford bad publicity. They’ll most likely put the hybrid power train in the police trucks once the bugs are fixed from the regular civilian customer feedback.
High crash and bullet risk and big batteries don’t mix well.
The tires makes sense as to the limited top speed, I'd always been a little mad that my 2017 3.5 topped out at 106 at 2200 rpm
09-14s are limited to 100. You just have to recalibrate it mine will hit +120
My 15' Silverado limits out at 115 but doesn't have the pickup an go of the ecobeast
Quick 5 star tune will fix that for you. For just a few hundred bucks. 😊
5Star can fix that for you. Hit 117 in my 2014 EB passing two semis.
That’s what I like to hear, a bunch of nuts going 100+ on the public roadways in a pickup truck. 😮
Depending on one stream of income had never made any millionaire and earning check don't put you on forbes
Bitcoin trending might make you Rich if you are hedge found with deep pockets or an unusual skilled currency trader
@@jessicaallen9006 I totally agree with that
@Steven Jacob Yeah, but when you trade with a professional broker that won't bother you
You are right, in the past I tried trading on my own but made almost no profit until I was link to a professional, the result was exceptional
@Magret Kate I think that's on the average, try trading with Mr. FRANKLIN MOORE my first investment of $5000 was with fear but it give me a profit of about $35300 in a few days!!
Turn that governor off and boom, what top speed..
What a coincidence, I just seen 1 of these driving around today.
Our Sheriff's Dodge Durango is limited to 130 and being left behind in pursuits. The Explorers leave the Durango in the dust but still can't catch the car thieves. The Helicopter if up follows and notifies departments in advance to intercept and stop stick or pin. Police need faster pursuit vehicles.
Larry most departments are going to "no pursuit" policies while being authorized in very limited situations.
@@michaelgisi8187 which is a poor policy allowing any felon to just step on the gas and they are free to go.
"Control the truck in the best way possible..." meaning if they need to run your ass off the road they can.
My 2019 5.0 4x4 265/70/17 tires crew cab maxed out does 107mph
Ford also has the F150 SSV, Chevrolet and Ram needs to make their own pursuit rated pickup to stay competitive
F-150 police responder needs GT 500 engine and 6 piston brakes f/r :)
They should bring back the mustang police car like what they had in the 80s the foxbody mustang interceptor
I'll wait for the Ram TRX Border Patrol Edition.
Cool truck but they should offer the front Torsen diff. It offers increased stability at speed, and increased speed or traction off road.
Bad ass ford always goes above and beyond
I love the leave engine running, but can take key and lock the vehicle-that would be awesome for cold winters/hot summers in everyday vehicles.
You can have it installed. Its called "secure idle" its not very expensive either
@@martonvarga1926 Thanks, I'll look into it.
Imagine if ford twin turboed the 7.3 gas and put it in the f150 pursuit and pushed 1200 hp
Imagine buying a shiny new dodge demon just had it tuned too at about 1000 hp
Gets gapped by police f150
Go buy one and do it! I'll subscribe! 😃
@@ScoobyDrewski but im doing a triple turbo ford 300 i6 and a turbo 2.7 stroker rn, uhhh alright lemme do some research and ill get back to you on it
Ford is always styling!
Tillamook County in Oregon has a few Raptor police vehicles because of the rough Forrested areas as well as the beaches and sand dunes in the area.
But Oregon doesn't get to have police. J/k but seriously how far away from Portland is that?
@@rogerj412 about 2 hours away. 2 hours too close if you ask me.
I wonder if that bull bar works with radar cruise control. It seems like it doesn't cover part of the radar.
Do any of these trucks have an option to carry patrol rifles in the cab? Thanks!
No, pickups aren’t made to carry firearms....no one has ever even tried it.
@@cleetismcdougall5425 Hahahahaha! That's great!
They should've also offered steelies imo
Great Video. I am curious as to why they don't offer the hybrid option given the number of electronics that law enforcement requires. Having your own built-in generator may be helpful.
Enough onboard power available for Jack Bauer to interrogate properly with a PowerBoost
We use F-150s in my department. Time to get some of these babies.
Chevy has a recall on previous 5.3 v8's, then installs the same displacement into their police models. I hope departments buy these, so we citizens can cruise, less incumbered, at speeds deemed to be socially acceptable.
My "previous 5.3 v8" Chevy has no recall. Logged into my GM account with my VIN shows no recalls.
Hey Andre...Ford back at it with Police fleets!! They will get it back..look at all the Crown Vic fleet sales...some states still run them..thanks Andre😎!!
Time to start looking for one of these trucks in the dealership that was meant for Police Service but sometimes they don't get bought, it happens and hopefully I get lucky✌
Ford hands down always makes the best Police Vehicles!...
My cities police (Calgary, Canada) already transitioned to (standard F-150s), Explorers and Transits.
Love it. Pursuit Truck! Very cool. Tanks Andre! Now, where is my coffee?
How many donuts to the mile does it get?
They’ve been selling these police package Ford F-150’s in Canada for a year now
RCMP ERT have been using F-250/350 crewcabs for a while now
I assure you that I can rip right past 120 MPH in my F150, but I wouldn't want to sustain it for any period of time without the right tires, because a 120mph tire failure is not something that you want to try... However, aerodynamics and power are not the rate limiting factors on the 3.5 ecoboost, even with a 3.73 rear end.
Did ford reinforce the roof pullers so if it rolls over they can walk away.????!!??
The EcoBoost doesn't belong on fleet vehicles. I just watched Arkansas State police with a GM powered truck hit 140 mph in a police chase. V8 IS THE ONLY powerplant you want for real work.
Love your reviews I had hoped to see news of EV cop trucks and cars! I think its about time our Police vehicles went electric.
Where is the flip down work surface and automated console shifter? I thought those were designed for “work” uses. :P
Yea that's like the main thing I remembered from this new gen
That's what you get for thinking when you're not used to it!!!
Police vehicles have a special console with a computer.
@@gcurrinder yeah I put the :P to indicate I was just joking around a bit (since Ford loves to tout the fancy shifter and flip down table as being work oriented).
@@ALMX5DP Tho it just is.
I’m gonna wait for this to show up on police auctions
But the question is will I be able to get this engine in the civilian version crossing my fingers that they all have it available ✌in a package
The Ford Raptor of police authority vehicles.
My police friends hate when they have to drive a Charger. Said they run great until about 50k then the engine dies. Therefor, hard pass on that Ram. The Ford intrigues me the most, but I don’t think I could buy an ex police vehicle because they get driven pretty hard usually.
Police vehicles and rental cars are the best handling cars.
Roscoe and Enis would live this truck! Come on flash!
I'd like to know how fast a stock 3.5 can go, with appropriate tires and aerodynamics of course.
105-106. Scary in a truck. I have superchips programmer on mine. Runs to 120 now.
Nice review! Any word on 2021 base Raptor power numbers yet? Gotta be at least 500/550
Isn’t the government trying to ban aftermarket tuning and modifications?
Does that make it an AWD? The AUTO 4WD?
“Hey uhhhhh, Chief? So I’ve been working with this crappy pursuit car and was wondering we could upgrade to this truck I’ve been doing my research and it great. Pretty please 🥺”
That special mode allows them to run the air conditioner while they go inside to get donuts!
Can you buy this police package like you could on the crown Vic?
Where I live I only see the latest model Ram truck some police and others as a first responder.
Built Ford Tough💪 Built Ford Proud💙
Lol. The price tag is probably to high for most small and medium sized agency’s. I asked for our DUI pursuit vehicles to be fords but the explorer cost so much I got a Tahoe instead. It’s nice but not as maneuverable or nimble as the fords.
Love the Tahoe
My tacoma trd sports tried 220 km/h here in Alberta with 285 tires. And i felt still slow
Would love to have one after it’s out of service
I'm not sure about the 4 Auto xfer case. The Ford units have traditionally not been good. I hope Ford at least gave LE something that works because the 4 Auto xfer case I had was nothing but head aches.
Here in Michigan it is mainly Ford explorers and dodge chalangers
Nothing like a truck for high speed and corner handling, and great on wet roads and snow. Only police departments would be so stupid to purchase a truck, they don't need, that cost significantly more than a police car.
I’ve done 167 in Michigan State police vehicle.🤩
Police 5-0 F 1 5-0 should have a 5-0 V8 under the hood. Or be a hybrid like Andre's so it can run all the equipment without having to idle all the time.
They even blow them up once in awhile too.
Hell Andre, I had a 67 Buick Skylark you could take the keys out of and she would still keep running all day! Not sure it was designed that way😄😄
I used to do that with my Sunbird and it would freak my wife out. I told her GM was ahead of its time with keyless ignition.
I can do that in My 98 Explorer
Had a 72 C10 pickup that would do that, ignition was so worn a screwdriver would start it too.
Alternate title for this video: Hear me talk about a truck I won't show.
Okay boys, 400 hp and 500 lbt. Those are the numbers to beat.
I've actually gone 110 mph in my 2016 ford escape with a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder ecoboost just to see how fast I can get they are pretty quick
Awesome. Can’t wait to see it on the road. Just don’t want to see it in my rear view mirror though!😆
Ford already has a police truck based on F150 2017 Lion truck.
Another great video, Andre, thank you!
I would love to get one of these with the defeat button for all of the stupid so-called safety equipment that usually doesn’t work right! This is a bold move for Ford & I think a good move.
Looks like I can out run one in my ram if that’s all they bring to it of course if the use radio I’m F
It would be nice if they got the led headlight options or at the very least an hid option.
