Didn't see any explorer PIs labelled for commercial vehicle enforcement. Pretty sure the ones they have (at least at the taylor post) are just regular patrol units
He's the same guy I mentioned a few months back who thinks Toyota can do no wrong and will never buy domestic again because of stuff he thinks happened in the 70s and 80s. He believes the pinto fiasco was intentional.
I think those are just replacing the Crown Vic patrol cruisers. I haven't seen any labeled with commercial vehicle enforcement. I live near a post and coincidentally, I have to drive right by it later. I'll see if I can spot any on my way by.
Michigan state police use Tahoes for commercial enforcement. They have special scales they keep with them as well:
Any time I see a Tahoe in local PD use its for a K-9 unit
not as long as they're tier 2. there has to be a reason why they are keeping MAP on a 3 crew schedule. I've thought the same thing though. it would make more sense for them to give an entire shift the axe rather than scheduling 20 down weeks a year.
Just so you are aware, Ford hires temporary workers at every plant for the summer so they have extra people to cover vacations and such. Most of them will be laid off by Halloween.
To piggyback on that, I have an '08 2 door that I bought used and I hate it. The only reason I bought it at the time was because it has a stick and at the time I didn't mind having a 2 door. Over time I've really grown to hate it and I'll never buy another 2 door car again unless it's a mustang.
