Anthony Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Really good article that points out not only the physical differences, but all the manufacturing differences: http://www.government-fleet.com/article/story/2016/06/police-interceptor-utility-vs-ford-explorer.aspx Police officers often refer to Ford’s Police Interceptor Utility as the “Ford Police Explorer,” but this label for the police SUV misses the mark. The automaker calls the vehicle Explorer-based, and further details about the array of differences between it and the civilian Explorer reveal why.

Fgts Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 No real difference from what was done to C/V, Charger, Tahoe, Impala police models. The name change imo is protect residual values, not a bad strategy thou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tofer Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Good link and too bad the 3.7 isn't in the civilian set up. Nice bridging of the power of the 3.5 NA and the 3.5 EB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev-Mo Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Bad guys are going to want it: The 2016 P.I. Utility offers optional Level III panels that can stop higher-caliber rifle and shotgun rounds as well as Level IV ballistic panels that stop armor-piercing rounds. http://www.government-fleet.com/article/story/2016/06/police-interceptor-utility-vs-ford-explorer.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
