Ford's use of keyed ignitions vary across the lineup. Some models are all push button start, and even those are not all "intelligent access". Keys do not bother me, but, it seem most want that feature and not sure what manufacturers still use keyed ignitions. Own a 2014 F350 and 2011 Mustang GT with keyed ignitions, and have a 2023 Bronco Basequatch with basic push button start which I prefer over "intelligent access". I also do not like the trend to all digital clusters, bigger screens and less buttons and knobs!

Gorgeous!!

Are you a Reds Fan?

Tires make a huge difference! Back in the day I ordered a 2004 F250 4X4. I did not get the off road package. It came with Pirelli Scorpion All season tires. First Winter came, and the thing got stuck in my driveway! Did not waste any time and put All Terrain tires on, and no more getting stuck in the snow!!!

Crazy that Tahoes are cheaper than PIU's !!

I have a soft spot for the CVPI. That was the only vehicle I ever had when I was a Trooper. Yes, they were not the fastest, but they were tough, reliable, comfortable, and roomy. Plenty of storage space in that huge trunk! Wish Ford would have kept them up to date and put the 5.0 in them.

I do not know if Ecoboost motors have been troublesome for Police use, but there are Departments that do not want Turbo 6 Cylinders. I think they are missing an opportunity and could increase sales. Indiana State Police refuses to purchase turbo 6 cylinders, so they continue with Durango, even though they have had recent issues with the Hemi. They tested Tahoes, but decided against them due to higher cost, and Troopers complained about handling and speed. They won't even look at PIU or F150. Will see what happens when Dodge goes with hurricane motors in the next Durango. I know Ecoboost PIU easily outclasses all the other police vehicles in MSP testing. Wonder what Troopers would think if they got to test them out. Even F150 is Faster than Durango other than Handling and Top Speed...

Ford has definitely lost sales due to not having a V8 powered police vehicle. Mistake to not offer the V8 as an option in the F150 Pursuit.

Pricing may change their minds.

Hopefully we will see the return of true Police Interceptor!!!

Just did a quick internet search and found this used one in Middlebury, Indiana. Needs work though... I assume you have contacted your local auto scrap yards? https://dicksautoparts.com/i-23900939-99-10-ford-f-250-f-350-flat-black-superduty-8ft-short-bed-truck-bed.html

My bad, I meant to reference the new truck in my title!

That V8 is more than just a "soundtrack".

I know that Maverick is a "truck", but it is built on the Escape/Bronco Sport platform, and if you add those sales, that trio just topped 400K.
