- There are about 12,000 police departments patrolling jurisdictions across the United States. More than half of police vehicles driving through neighborhoods and cities are Fords. The second-largest U.S. automaker in terms of sales is also the biggest purveyor of police vehicles. In 2018, Ford's share of police vehicle sales in the U.S. was 63 percent thanks to its immensely successful Police Interceptor lineup.

Why Ford Dominates The Market For Police Vehicles - 자동차
![여기가 북한..? 자칫 잘못하면 잡혀간다는 연변 풀코스 여행 [연변1]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/FMU3SVh8BhU/mqdefault.jpg)
Nothing is more annoying than being followed by a blacked out explorer thinking your gonna get pulled over and it’s not a cop 👮♀️
The trick: Look for visor lights and a PA. If you don't see both, it isn't a cop. It takes 2 seconds to check while driving.
-From a 2009 P71 owner.
El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz I had a seizure reading that
Mentally Unstable | Me too
When got pulled up from a Toyota Tacoma...
I got passed by an Escalade with a brush guard on the front... his tag said "NOTACOP" .... lol
Cops be getting a car every month while usps still has a ww2 tinfoil truck 💀
Miguel Z actually that’s not true, they might have a near design but a lot of them are very new
@@jeremyh4180 maybe in big cities, but I live in a town of 20,000 people and there are a few that barely run and are likely 20 years old, and theres even some 20 year old crossover vehicles. Even the "new" ones have to be around 5-10 years old... Im thinking you live in a big city is why you dont see many old ones
Yep here in Oregon they use personal vehicles...
It means police departments are making good money to pay for new vehicles unlike Usps who has to keep their cost low so it’s affordable for you, me and everyone. Make sense?
@@TheRichyrich1281 still using horse and carriage usps cabboses where I'm from
Had an assigned Crown Victoria for 4 years before I retired. It ran 24/7 used on all three shifts for 250K miles. They retired it when I retired and I bought it at auction. Kept it for another 150K.
So when u got rid of it you put 400k miles?
Sucks they couldn’t give it to you for free
At night I fear all Ford Explorers. Never know when it's a cop. I recognize their headlights so well I can tell if it's a cop behind me just from the lights alone
OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE PARANOID.

Nothing more scary than a Crown Victoria Police interceptor following you at night in the 90s
Most underrated comment of the 21st century
I can still see the profile of those amber lights up front when looking in my rearview trying to determine if its a regular crown vic or a cop car lol.
Now you see an Explorer pull up behind you at night and you panic trying to figure out if its a cop or not
@@olliegoria
I think Tahoes are scarier at nigh with the led line across headlights
But it depends what your state is.
yooo with the two yellow lights in the middle
Ford took the lead years ago by designing their police vehicles specifically for police duty with beefier suspensions, electrical systems, engines, ect. Most other manufactures just slapped a police sticker on a stock vehicle. First one I ever drove was a LTD police interceptor with a 460, ran like a scalded dog.
The caprice interceptor wasn't any ordinary impala. That was pretty beefed up but with a 6.2L it was a gas guzzler and the ecoboost still outperformed it
I think they tend to get models that don't sell well to the public so police departments can get a better deal buying quantity.
@@JXC98 cant americans comprehend the fact that just because a turbocharged engine is much more efficient, it will outperform N/A engines. also consider the fact that an N/A engine's performance isnt consistent. Temperature, altitude, how long has it been running, how fast its going, these are all factors which the n/a is less consistent. You cant get the same amount of oxygen into the combustion chamber in different altitudes, same with outside temp, where a turbo can supply the same amount of oxygen with moderated temps due to intercooling. Also has more torque way more down than N/A. Police IDLE a lot, actually Diesels would be the best option but in the u.s. they wouldnt let them. a 3.0 diesel would make about 250-300hp easily, with double the miles to the gallon compared to a gas guzzler.
@@zoltanv7289 Modern Diesel engines are not supposed to idle, it reduces the service life of the engine, so the best combination would be a Diesel and a plug in hybrid for idling
Dodge had been doing that since the 30’s yo
I worked as an EMT back in college (mid '70s) and the EMS I was with was run by the county via a building in town. It had a two vehicle garage and the county had just purchased two new "truck based" ambulances. One GMC and one Ford. The GMC was the cab and bed frame of their 1500 model and the Ford was the cab and bed frame of the F150 and the ambulance box sitting on the bed frames was identical and made by Southern Ambulance Company in LaGrange, Ga.
All that to say that all of us who drove the vehicles preferred the GMC over the Ford. The Ford had a stiff suspension but the GMC was softer and perhaps more responsive. And is this Kurt Russell narrating this video? Sounds like a KR narrated Quentin Tarantino movie!
Honestly, the greatest police car of all time was EASILY the Crown Vic. It's the only former police car I'd ever consider buying. It is by far the easiest car I've ever worked on. Everything was spacious and easy to change parts on, it was very modular.
Are you familiar with the 2003-2004 Mercury Marauder?
1998 Chevy Impala SS is also a kickass former cop car
I heard LAPD had a Factory frame straightening machine for FIXING wrecked crown vics, for
LAPD. The city wanted to keep the cars running without having to replace them, the car was so good. Look at taxi service, before the hybrid, Toyota for one. Ford's dominant the Taxi industry.
Crown vic is making a comw back js
ARE YOU CRAZY ITS THE MOST OVERRATED POLICE CAR
So Ford’s new Taurus was so small, police departments bought Explorers instead. But since SUVs handle poorly, they added additional sway bars and special suspension. Since fuel efficiency is also poor on SUVs, they added hybrid electric tech. Basically, Ford didn’t give police a sedan that was big enough, so now they instead buy SUVs with thousands of dollars of upgrades to make them more like sedans. 🤔
Our department went to Chargers when that happened
Chargers are very good in my opinion. And yea that seemed weird to me that they wasted thousands of dollars on tryna make a SUV a sedan
FTP
?
The 06 escape was the only true SUV that handled like a rally car (because the first model was built in collaboration with Mazda, and it sits on a focus platform which is now an awesome rally car) With the stock 4 cylinder, it was a 0-60 in 4 second car all day, which is insane for an SUV thats not turbo) It was because of the gearing of the manual transmission. Id really like to find and restore one. Best car ive ever owned tbh. Felt better than my beamer
The Crown Vic (CVPI, P71) is one of the best cars ever made. Body on frame construction. *Extremely crashworthy.* Able to withstand seemingly endless abuse. I’ve noticed this with the Impalas as well, but the Crown Vic’s body-on-frame construction is, by virtue of its design, a tougher vehicle. It also means that whole sections of the car can be replaced.
Super reliable engine. Easy to repair and with simple upgrades you could add some serious horsepower. Also, rear wheel drive! I drove a cab (before switching to Uber) and the cab company had several old CVPIs and I would try and drive them whenever possible, because even as you drive through the city at night, the size of the Crown Victoria just *seems* safer. That, and extra room, everywhere. Back seat? Huge. Trunk? Bigger than all the interior space of many cars.
In the city I live in, the police department still have a *lot* of them in operation. Many are now in the “slicktop” configuration. I’ve spoken to a couple local cops who are hanging onto their Crown Vics as long as possible. Many detective and unmarked vehicles are still Crown Vics and the older style Chevrolet Impala 9C1 and 9C3. The newer Impalas are popular too.
Seems like most guys don’t like the Taurus, which is why the Explorer quickly replaced it. Former police cars (Crown Victorias and Impalas) are very popular with regular civilian drivers around here.
They’re driven hard, but they’re maintained, nobody calls them “Police Interceptor” [even though that’s a badass name for a car].
At least around here, it is, and always will be “Crown Vic”, said with a feeling of affection.
My first car was a 1995 Ford Contour GL with the 2.0 liter EcoTec 4-cylinder and MTX-75 5-speed manual transmission. The Contour was considered one of the worst cars Ford made. My dad bought it new in 1995 and drove it for a decade. He then sold it to me for $1 when I was 16 and had just gotten my driver’s license. I drove it for another decade [and 110,000 miles]. At 197,000 miles the odometer stopped working. I went to the junk yard, pulled an instrument panel off another Contour, *added* mileage to that odometer, put me at around 197,500 and then just kept driving. The car just would not die. Only major work done on it was water pump replacement and suspension replacement.
That car just kept running. My dad drove it hard and I drove it harder. It went 200,000 miles and 20 years on the original factory clutch, transmission and everything else (except suspension). Finally one of the cylinders lost compression….so it still ran, but ran rough. Lots of blow-by and oil consumption after that point. I sold the car to a local junkyard for $450 and they pretty much immediately swapped the engine out, turned around and sold the car. As far as I know, it’s still on the road today.
@R4002 Ecotec is a Chevy engine. Your Contour had the 2.0 Zetec engine.
@@RockandrollNegro right, Zetec, not EcoTec. Nice catch. 2.0L Zetec with the MTX-75 5 speed manual
15:15 As a resident of Oakland County, Michigan I laughed quite hard at what CNBC had to say about the Tahoe PPV. Oakland County Sheriff's Department _still_ runs Impala PPVs that date back to 2012. Think about that: we're talking decade-old police cars in a time where most municipalities have since decommissioned these types of vehicles! Albeit those Impalas are kept in good shape (except the 3 I've seen on the backs of county tow trucks).
$2400 in 1899 is roughly $75000 in 2019 dollars, for anyone wondering.
Tesla Model S would be $10 cheaper... Not bad.

CNBC: cop cars with 2-3 years service
Crown vic: am I a joke to you
Crown Vic been in service 2-3 decades
No.
Crown Vics disappeared from front line service pretty quickly after they were discontinued. Some lasted longer in admin service but they are pretty much all gone too a decade later.
No.. the Crown Vic gave the _illusion_ of long service because they were produced almost without modification for 20 years.
And they do last long in private hands because the people who own them are typically elderly and don’t drive them very much.
@@Bartonovich52 what are you talking about, a lot of police depts have crown vics running hard everyday. They didn’t disappear quickly after they were discontinued
Here in Houston we have LOADS of crown vics. All the rookies have to drive them
@@Bartonovich52 My local PD budgeted over five million back in 2010 to purchase and store the last rear wheel drive Crown Victoria cruisers...still plenty of them running around and being kept up.
I hear mixed things about Ford's new fleet ,but I still here about how the Crown Vic is missed . A friend and an officer in MN was tee boned in one of the new Ford's and the side air bag didn't deploy . Her husband is a Chevy guy and is a detective and drives a Chevy SUV type. He didn't want her back on the road unless it was Crown Vic. Unfortunately she didn't return to the road due to a concussion. I really think Ford should come back with a redesigned CV with a full frame . I've heard many surviving serious crashes,my daughter was one in a Marquis. She went off a highway and hit a telephone pole with four friends in the car. Everyone was fine and guess what was the first car on the scene ❓😎
I miss the crown vic, but I really love having the extra cabin space . I also like some of the features added to PIU now and I certainly like the ease of getting out of my cruiser now which is much better than getting out of a crown vic.
Crown Vic was one of the best built, toughest cars ever. Some still on the road today.
Some? Millions still
bang bang sadly most are dying
yeah i used to remember they were taxis until the 2000s. and many people i knew owned them. they were so roomy and comfy for long road trips. and the trunk could easily carry 4 check bags and 2 hand luggage.
Crown Vic is for old geezers like Biden.
@ well im sure they can make it cool again with a modern update.

As an engineer that has worked on police vehicles, Ford simply has put more effort into consistently building police vehicles over the last 30 years. For a while they were the only game in town with the Crown Vic. That bought some loyalty, but also they have put more resources towards it. Police cars are not cash cows. They are small margin vehicles. They are sold in bulk at low prices and require a lot of development and special equipment. Often carmakers will see them as more of a headache than they are worth. Then start making them again when they get desperate for sales. Yet Ford has been fairly consistent in providing interceptors vs. GM and Chrysler. The latter two have been better the last 15 years or so, but Ford definitely has been more dedicated overall. The Explorer also is fairly right sized and right priced vs. the competition.
Usually 2 to 3 years in service??? Yeah right, tell that to the Crown Vic that's still going on since the 2011 discontinuation.
Where? I feel like I haven't seen a Vic interceptor in a decade.
Brett Cooper yeah, she’s barely hanging on, obviously there should be a few in small, rural departments, but if you look up LAPD responding during the riots this year there are huge amounts of CVPIs responding. And also the CHP, are constantly announcing on Instagram that they are retiring the last of their Crown Vics. CHP announced last year that 2020 is the last year the Crown Vic would be in service. Unfortunately the Vic is coming to an end quickly.
@@brogcooper25 Roanoke Va still has Crown Vics in service
@@kevinrockford9826 I mean...I believe you because why would somebody lie about that, but I find that to be unbelievable. It's been more than a decade since I have one and I'm from Nebraska. We're not know for having the latest and greatest anything.

Really?! I’ve always wanted a Ford Explorer! Are there any features you absolutely love and cannot imagine that you lived without?
@@halfforeignamericana5451 That's a tough question. I got so used to having a backup camera especially for the size of the vehicle it would be hard to not have it. It does have much more exciting stuff like lane centering where it will steer itself which is nice for long trips. I have a short video of it actually. Lots of bells and whistles.

"2-3 years in service" in my state you still see crown vics and old gen chargers.
You must live in a small town, LOL. The big police departments like the NYPD, get new cars every 2-3 years. Believe me, you don't want to buy a used retired police vehicle from the NYPD, they really trash those vehicles in 2-3 years.

I see a lot of em too like a mix of everything
You should see Chicago police we have plenty of everything
Had a retired Vic for years. Was such a pleasure to drive (except for other drivers acting weird because they thought I was a cop).
Driving on the highway is the worst...everyone does the speed limit
I used to own a white Buick Lester with a cb antenna on the trunk. People would not pass, they thought I was a Officer.
I've owned both a Caprice and Crown Victoria as personal vehicles. They were both great cars. You know you can push them to the limit and it isn't going to break.
Im a retired police officer. I served from 1976 to 2003. I started with the chevy nova. But the crown vic is by far the best police car ever made. I was in 155 hi speed pursuits in my 25 yr career. The crown vic never letme down. But the new ford explorer is the cats meow. For pure putsuit give me a hemi Dodge. I was in 6 shootouts also. The 10mm is the most effective gun. Next the 45 then the 40. I was stuck with a 9mm but it too served me pretty good.
Isn't the 40 a 10mm? Or Is it just S&W who use that round designation
@@ezkstoolstechtoys6969 No The 10mm auto was developed first in 1984 by the great Jeff Cooper, father of modern pistol craft. The 10mm has a longer case it shoots a 180gr bullet @ 1350fps, for about 750 foot pounds of energy. The 40 s&w was a mistaken belief by the fbi that it too powerful for female agents. The 40 shoots the same 180gr bullet at 980fps. The 10mm hits with TWICE the power of a 9mm. The 9mm has so many failures to stop on the books documented. While the 40 is way better than a 9mm its not as good as the original 10mm which is perfect. I rate the auto pistol.rounds as #1 10mm, #2 45 super or +p, #3 40 s&w, #4 9mm +p+. I was a police officer for 24 yrs i was forced by regulation to carry a nine, the 9 will work with the hottest ammo available. I killed 2 felons with it, but its stopping power that we want. The 40 will fit in.a 9mm size frame. The 10mm fits in a 45 size frame. Modern 10mm guns like the Smith , Sig, and glock hold 16rounds only 1 or 2 less than a full size 9mm

Big facts 💯the cars they drive have nothing to do with police brutality,that's stupid that people would criticize the manufacturer
People are closed minded idiots if they think that. Just like thinking all cops are bad, or a persons skin color makes them bad. It's a mob mentality, and it hurts way more good people than whatever good these people think they're accomplishing.
@@volvo09
Non of them realize that it hurts them as well even black people who work in the car industry because if manufacturers cut ties with the cops, worker's wages would decrease because the work they put into making these cars won't be needed anymore.
And those whose jobs are specifically to create these custom cars would lose their jobs as well or be relegated to another position with high chances of having a lower wage.
Just as stupid as people suing gun companies for crimes committed while using one of their manufactured guns. As if the gun committed the crime. So the cop unit is responsible for police brutality. People are now beyond stupid
@TriplePlay
And don't be stupid.
That's not how businesses work.
Like it or not, the paychecks of the black workers rely on the deals Ford makes with whoever wants to buy their products.
And for fck's sake. It's just a damn fcking car.
Glock, Colt, Sig Sauer, H&K and other gun manufacturers have far more to do with the "PoLiCe BrUhTaLiTy" than Ford since it's their guns being used to shoot people.
The only beef people should have about Ford should be about how shtty their cars are not because cops use them.
@@arcflashed
Suing gun companies is far more understandable than suing Ford.
I personally don't like Ford cars but I'm not so stupid as these leftists and the clearly "misinformed" black people who are fooled by this BS.
It's like harassing Volkswagen, Mercedes and Porsche for providing vehicles for the *ACTUAL NAZIS*
I had just purchased a 2018 Ford Explorer police utility interceptor which is what drew me to this video. I did my homework & found these vehicles to been well maintained & being a fleet type vehicle, parts acquisition should never be a problem. I also like the "less is more" mind set in its construction. Kind of like the Roadrunner/Super Bees of the 60's & the Chevy Work Truck of the 90's. I don't need or want heated mirrors or steering wheel!! I just want a plain vehicle that will get me from point A to point B without a lot of gadgets. These police vehicles check all of the criteria! Heavy duty cooling, brakes, & suspension were a huge benefit! Anyway, there's my 2 cents. Enjoyed the video!
In my 46 years in law enforcement, I have driven everything from an AMC Matador to the Ford explorer and my favorite car is the crown vic and the best patrol vehicle was my Ford explorer I drove for 8 years. The Chevrolets and Dodges were terrible for police use and I have a hemi drag car and was a die hard Chrysler guy.
Matador , dang you must have taken your life in your hands when you tried to stop that beast. In my 30+ years the Crown Vic was hard to beat.
They also dominate the market for Ambulances.
That's probably going to be the next video in the series.
would be interesting where outside the USA they dominate the market for emergency vehicles as well. At least not in Germany, 98% of all ALS Emergency Ambulances are based on a Mercedes-Benz there
And when it comes to mid size vans.
@@angelgjr1999 Ford it popular among mid-size vans in Germany but I wouldn't say that they dominate the market. The Transit is used by many craftsmen for example, but other brands are strong in that segment as well, both more expensive and cheaper ones
BelowAverageLuke but Still F*** up Finances,
I'd say Ford did until the 6.0 and 6.4 Powerstrokes. I've seen quite a few more GMC and Dodge ambulances out there as of late. And even International which I can't understand why because they're using the same crappy 6.4 Powerstroke Maxxforce7. The engine that made Ford design their own diesel and drop Navistar to provide engines to them. Ford will really dominate the ambulance market in the US once again.
My first cruiser in 1968 was a Ford and when I retired 30 yrs later I was still assigned a Ford. They’re great for police work.
The Crown Vic was a nice tank. Could have used a few more horses but the layout and size was spot on. Winter tires and snow chains made them reasonable in winter up north
Cheers
@@tomdavis3038 from what ive heard, the main reason the crown vic lost its popularity was because of its outdated body design, and also the fact that it chugged fuel
@@titaniac3037 If they swapped in TTV6 for later Crown Vics for police use, they could get both better fuel mileage, and more performance

If you ever come to Hawaii, the police dept has explorers and taurus for their fleet. When you have seniority like corporal or Sargeant rank you can drive a subsidized car... Toyota 4runner, Toyota Camry, Toyota Highlander, Nissan Maxima, Nissan Altima,

Chevys biggest mistake was cancelling the caprice back in 96. I know fleet sales doesn't profit the way civilian sales do. But they were fast, strong, and just all around great cars. I had to drive Ford's in the city I used to work for. Originally we had mostly Chevy caprices and hands down I would have taken a Chevy over a Ford any day of the week.
Absolutely! The police interceptor market was Chevrolet's to lose, and they chose to give up. That's the only REAL reason Ford got lucky.

The Plymouth Fury III powertrain was very successful. Police sales were part of that success.
I had a conversation with a cop in AZ while waiting for a tow truck a few years ago. He said they can't use the Explorer there because the police package deletes the rear AC. Since rear AC is normally standard the front AC isn't designed to handle the whole vehicle and can't keep up in the summer heat, especially when the vehicle is idling for an extended period. They primarily use the Tahoe as they retain rear AC with the police package. If you don't see many Explorers in those parts that's why.
Shout out to all the good cops out there. Thanks for everything you do and will continue to do. Don't die.
I'll second that. Thanks for doing the job, boys.

In 1976 Chrysler, who was dominating the police car industry, introduced their "Lean Burn Computer". They forgot, however, to warn Police Departments and Fire/EMS Service providers that the "Lean Burn" would shut down the vehicle's engine when the radio's microphone was keyed. A simple, 2 cent capacitor, installed across the sender unit to ground was all that was needed to remedy the problem but they neglected to tell their customers. The value of the capacitor varied with the frequency of the radio. Nothing was done about the problem until the FBI (a division of the Justice Department that was funding the purchase of most US police car) purchased 2,000 cars and couldn't use them.

I love mid 80's to mid 90's Cheavy Caprice police interceptors. They are classic! 🇨🇦
I work for a Power Company in Georgia ( Get it?) They only have Ford vehicles. I work everyday in Security where we have 2 Ford F-150's. One is a 2017, the other a 2019. These vehicles are not abused and maintained very well. Same two vehicles since I started working here in early 2016. The 2017 has about 105k on it and the 2019 has about 70k on it. Computer/emissions problems are a constant in both...coolant leaks, electrical problems. The 2017 has a 5.0 liter in it and has developed a rattling sound in engine. Replaced transmission in 2017 at 70k. I guess only the police get theirs built tough.
This is why I slow down whenever I see a Ford explorer in my rear view mirror.
yes and this is why ford dealerships are so successful
edit: like have you seen the service center? my friend had to wait a day and a half for an oil change and tire rotation because out of the 40 service bays, 38 were occupied by police vehicles

Remember when there was a police model of the Dodge Intrepid (known in Canada as the Chrysler Intrepid) back before the Dodge Charger police version was launched in 2006? I love the Crown Victoria and Mercury Marauder, but I must say the Intrepid was a much more sporty car. Also remember when the Chevy Impala was a popular police car?
91-95 Caprice was the ultimate cop car. I spent lots of time in one. Loved that car.
_”Why Ford Dominates The Market For Police Vehicles”_
Dodge Charger: *Am I a joke to you?*
Fr tho
Chargers are over 50% are Ford utilities where as the Chargers compete with the rest including Tahoe/Suburban and Durango, F Series pickups. Basically well fun Chargers are out numbered and out sold.
Yes, as a matter of fact, the Charger has been a joke for quite some time, in fleet trim as well as consumer trim.
Yes
@Patrick Martin So does the v6 version. Since we started using the Chargers in 2010, almost everyone has the same issue. Some as many as three times before being taken out of service for good. The Chargers can not handle the extreme use. With some minor part redesigns and better materials the Charger could be a decent police vehicle. In contrast, our units that use the Explorer had very few issues and rarely went down.
Chevy messed up when they watered down the vehicles after the 1996 Caprice.
Chrysler also really messed up when they dropped the RWD Diplomat and Grand Fury in 1988. These cars were known as ' the nations police car ' throughout the 1980's and had around a 65% market share. Unfortunately they didn't have anything to replace them with. Even though Chryslers large FWD cars were big enough to be police cruisers they were in no way durable especially the transmissions. They attempted to make a police version of the Dodge Intrepid which officers really liked but they broke down repeatedly and were scrapped after only a 3 year run. Ford and GM also learned that their early model large FWD cars couldn't cut it as a police car either. Ford with the 2nd gen. Taurus and GM with both the 1st and 2nd gen. Chevy Lumina. FWD police cars didn't become reliable until the mid 2000's with the 2nd gen. Chevy Impala and 4th gen. Ford Taurus. At least Chrysler had the sense to build a new RWD platform in the mid 2000's and introduce the Dodge Charger ' police pursuit ' edition which quickly became a favorite of police agency's nationwide. PS-- Also can't dismiss GM's half hearted attempt at a RWD police car with the HOLDEN ooh sorry ' CHEVY ' Caprice. This was a good car except for the DOD system wearing out the camshaft every 25K miles.

Glad Jim Hackett stood up to the societal pressure and stated that regardless, law enforcement plays an important role in the safety of society AND that supplying vehicles to them isn't "controversial," because their actions have nothing to do with each other and don't reflect on Ford as a car manufacturer. Jim Hackett sounds like a wise businessman. CNBS also purposefully (rule number one of creating an argument is to end on the point you want people to remember) ended a video about police vehicles on the controversy to seemingly keep people on edge of riots and protests. We can just be peaceful, but that doesn't bring clicks and views does it?
As valet parking, I had a couple who had a Crown Victoria police interceptor, and they always asked me to go get their car. I always enjoy to drive their car.

Police in Canada and America are basically the same except for the areas of juristication rules and the fact that there is only one criminal code to enforce in Canada.
I build Police vehicles for a living. Ford’s are so popular mainly because the price is cheaper, so less funded departments can afford to put them in the road without blowing their budget. However, the Interceptor Utility has major drawbacks versus the Tahoes and the Durango Pursuits. It is significantly smaller than the other, thus makes it harder to hide electronics. And with the ever advancing light technology, there is less room to mount and wire control units (Core Systems or Pathfinder systems) and have them easily accessible for repairs, yet still have them protected from damage, while still looking professional. Ford also lacks in other areas too, they don’t have a comprehensive pass through harness like Tahoe’s. There is major issues with tail light leakage. Even when Vertex or Strobes aren’t installed, departments complain about water in the taillights. Also, they only have the main battery as a power source. Tahoe’s come with a second upfitter battery in the cargo area that you can wire all the lights and sirens to, so that if that battery dies, you can still start the vehicle. All in all, they make for an easier and faster build than the others, but generally doesn’t look as good.
This is a good question.
Nice video.
I always made this question in my head.
When you see a regular Ford Explorer still thinking its a d tec or cop car over my shoulder lol
Bruh if I see explorer headlights or taillights, I slow down no matter what
Easy way to tell is the police editions don't have roof rails
Only one way to find out, punch it and wait for cherries!
Roof rack is a dead give away.
I had a 2016 black Explorer Sport. Sometimes even the cops would wave to me thinking I was a cop.
so what's the short answer to the question? cheaper than other brands and also they customized their cars to suit police better?
They're better built in general
Or maybe they were very incentivesed cough cough lobbying to buy American made Cars and or the specifly Ford
@@possiblyadickhead6653 also yes, but states and cities aren't banned from buying cars from foreign brands and foreign made. It's just that American brands make police packages for cars and foreign manufacturers don't.
@@LouisSubearth never said banned
No. The overall reason is Price to Performance ratio. Departments evaluate their "options" test them and pick the top performers based on a variety type judgment looking at reliability, fuel economy, performance, etc and nothing right now is beating ford for fuel efficient, reliable, powerful motors on the Ecoboost explorer police interceptor platform which easily outruns the v8 chevy tahoe, and former crown vic interceptor.. if they brought the crown vic back it would probably sell out also quickly inventory wise because of its proven reliability
I help service the Ford explorer (interceptor) police vehicles and average real world mpg around 11 mpgs because of excessive idling. They are not driven like you and me driving from point A to point B. We recently had two of the new hybrids, Ford had to take back one of them because they could not figure out how to fix it. And will be sending us a replacement. They still have some issues to work out.
Chevy Caprice and Ford Crown Vic. Amazing reliability....body on frame, rear drive...great cop cars
I still miss the Crown Victoria :( Rear wheel drive, front bench seat and the most important thing column shifter :(
Those will forever be THE COP Car.
I still miss old Dodge Intrepids: feds looked really cool in those, especially on the news.
Константин Моисеев The last gen Impala always reminded me of the Intrepid as they had a similar body shape. I’ve seen some undercover’s in blacked out Impala’s and they can look pretty good. Front wheel drive feels wrong though after being so used to the Crown Vic.
Fortunately column shifts are still common in the Taurus cop car

The retired police cars become taxis.
Where? Not in NYC.
Idk where you still see crown vic taxis but most of those gas hogs dont get used today. Especially in the east for the past decade.
The Desi Vegan Not after the year 2000 because by than 65% or more police vehicles are SUV.

When I was a kid, I loved seeing the FOX Body stangs used in the south by State Police. "5.0L"
The same year Camaros were pretty sharp too the 92 B4C Camaro was my favorite.
My grandpa has an Explorer ST and I have an Edge ST, they are both great cars. I think they should make a Crown Vic ST since they got rid of all of their other sedans.

I agree that the Ford lnterceptor had very powerful engines that can catch up with most suspects vehicles and the front reinforced ends comes in handy for pit stops. It's good police garages can get body parts for damage replacement. I watch COPS every day and see it.
This seems to have been very well researched. There sure were a bunch off surprises in thee too.
"Military equipment" Lmao that was a Lenco Bearcat made for Law Enforcement the only military grade equipment ive seen in LEO departments are APCs
Emergency Effect I’ll never get the news. A bearcat is literally a Ford F-Series. it’s just armored and custom chassis. You can see the headlights
big scary truck and all that
Want to take the guns AND police, so all we have left is an army which could be turned against us
Lots of departments are getting MRAP’s for little to nothing from the government
I can't wait for the "military grade" vehicles be actually military grade. If people knew true military grade they wouldn't have as much fear. It'd be more effective to get more cruisers.
Not Anymore, most departments where I live is buying Chargers now
And many departments who bought Chargers years ago have got rid of or are getting rid of them and buying Fords. When new, the Chargers are fast and handle extremely well. But, steering, suspension, and brakes wear out faster than other cars. The don't hold up in city police work.
Yeah, last time I talked to a policeman, he was driving a black Charger.
The chargers are reserved for sherrifs here
Sucks for them. Chrysler vehicles are junk.
@@americanmade6480 Company Has Recommended You Start Learning Engine Repair
I live in Pennsylvania and most of the cars I see are ford's. However when I drove to Florida along I-95 I saw a ton of dodge chargers. Especially in the Carolinas.
That’s to catch all the rich people with sports cars down there
The police department’s in my surrounding townships mostly use the ford police interceptor, but there is one township that uses new dodge chargers.
Ford was handed a commanding share of the police car market by GM in 1996, when GM management canceled the Chevrolet Caprice. This meant Ford's Crown Vic would own this market.
If I'm not mistaken, the chevy caprice was the only vehicle model some police departments decided to have completely rebuilt and put back into service rather than replace them.
Not to mention the unreliablity of GM cars.
Unreliability.... yep... they were about as unreliable as the P71 Crown Vic was... try and figure that out.
Actually there was a large difference in fleet availability. The Caprice was a much better performing high speed interceptor, but the Crown Vic won with the bean counters for being much cheaper overall due to needing less total cars in relation to number on patrol, due to higher reliability. This is why cities went Crown Vic while many State Police preferred the Caprice, as they would be more likely to encounter high speed pursuits and had higher budgets.
@@odb_roc_hound4186. That's why cab companies loved them too.
A very detailed summary about the cars, I was surprised, as a car guy, I appreciate the details explained!

Really great vid

Can you make a vid about what happens to vehicle after serving as military and police cars
Ford needs to bring back the crown Victoria change my mind
Underpowered, gas guzzling, body on frame boats aren't the trend anymore.
@@SimplexSM
If modified they don’t need gas. Electric cars and hybrid cars are great and if put in a crown Vic the combination of a tough car able to take a hit with modern tech, it could be something useful
Besides, police departments love the Vic. At the Nashville bomb site a 1997 crown Vic was seen still in service. Blue lights flashing and all
@@CT-5736-Bladez frfr
They are the best well built ones police departments are still using them till this day but trying to reduce the burden on those cars by having the explorers the abused cars and keeping crown vics for good service and shii
The crown vic can be a good looking car if they design it right and keep the price down
THIS I WHY I WISH CROWN VICS WERE NEVER DISCONTINUED
I’m sure they’ll bring them back I mean there bringing back the bronco
They wouldn't pass these new crash tests standards. A TTV6 Panther would have been the almost perfect used car to have.
@Jeremy R yes I agree but very uncomfortable and small on the inside
The Taurus based Interceptors are better than Crown Vics in very way.
Except legroom, trunkspace, body-on-frame construction, simplicity/serviceability, and the fact they could easily be expected to last 300,000 miles (this last point is more helpful for secondhand owners of these cars since cops get rid of their cars before they hit 200,000 miles.
Taurus AWD Ecoboosts are faster, smaller, more fuel efficient, but also more expensive per car and more complicated and requires more attention servicing the turbo (I hear its supposed to be taken to a Ford dealership every few years/thousand miles to get cleaned or checked on, otgerwise a failure is a $1,000 replacement). I still want one though.
@@rickleuce8025 honestly I would side for the interceptor utility it’s basically the larger version of a interceptor sedan

@@MarloSoBalJr they only did as a Police Responder Sedan
It's actually super easy.
Police editions don't have roof rails.
@@evictioncarpentry2628 Y'know, police departments got smart on certain things. When the CVPI was the thing, there was one key way to tell the Police variant apart from a civilian model: The grille and tail facshia. The Civilian model was chromed out. The Fleet Versions (Including taxi) had the blacked out back end and the honeycomb grille. I know of a couple PDs that got wise to that fact and actually bought Civilian models and modified them for exactly that reason. I ended up seeing this personally one time, immediately before the transition to the Taurus and Explorers. Not gonna lie, I was impressed to see they figured out we knew that little detail.
Now, seeing the Fusion PD cars is a first. Looks like an NYPD thing. We've only ever seen the Taurus, Caprice, Charger, Tahoe, and Durango. Taurus was mostly used by the neighboring city, until transitioning to the Explorer. County cops had the Caprice PPV and a Tahoe. Now they've traded them all in for Explorers -- with a couple straggler Caprice still floating around until those get replaced. Our city had old CVPI until they got a couple second-hand Caprice PPV and just replaced those in 2018 with a Charger for the K9 officer, and 3 Durangos (Yes, I am from a pretty small town - That's our entire police fleet, minus a Code Enforcement Dodge 1500, which is also second hand). Oregon State has a bigger variety. They use Chargers and Tahoes, but there are two active paint schemes -- Traditional Blue with Yellow stripes, and the newly introduced Silver Metallic. It's a little harder to spot an OSP unit in the wild unless he's sitting in the median shooting tailpipes on I-5.
18:00 that man is sitting in a gaming chair. I bet he fired up WoW as soon as he was done with the interview lol
Ford should make an updated version of the Crown Victoria. I'd buy one.
This is True, My city used a couple of Fords explores for a few years ( 2-3) years and then switched to Tahoe's .
when i asked the officer who pulled me over he said its small and cramped and it isn't that fast or god at jumping curbs.
THE main reason is SPACE

The Lenco BearCat is a wheeled armored personnel carrier designed for military and law enforcement use. It is in use by several military forces and law enforcement agencies around the world.
Absolutely in PA. For some reason, not very much in GA.
The reason why they dominate on most municipalities is due to Ford having a lower price at the time of bidding . Municipalities set a budget and whichever company offers the most amount of veichles takes the contract.
