Police mode
We have one, it’s way faster than our naturally aspirated v6 explorers. Great for traffic enforcement. Tons of room inside. Very comfortable to drive, and has a locking rear diff. There are a couple downsides though. No pillar mounted spotlight. I looked at the ford police brochure and it doesn’t even seem to be an option. Other issue is it doesn’t have dark mode. So when we exit the vehicle all the running lights/marker lights turn on. Not great for when you don’t want to give away your position. From what I understand the dark mode isn’t an option either. Rumor was we tried to get it coded but it was not possible. They also can’t turn very well. Doing a quick uturn in traffic is awful. On a 5 lane road I need damn near the whole thing to do a u turn without having to put it in reverse.
