Our Explorer has th backup camera, it sort of spoiled me. Dont think I'll ever again own a vehicle without it.

Very nice truck! Very interested in the difference between the 3.31 and 3.55 gears. I was recently discussing this issue with a friend and I think if you don't do a lot of heavy pulling the 3.31 gears are the way to go.

Nice CVPI, I'm a leo here in PA.

Yeah Im going to have to hookup to the tractor and see if I can tell any difference. Im like you, I dont think I'll see a major change. 6-8000 lbs is about all I do, and it might be done like twice a month.

Yeah Im a Trooper here in Tx. The CVPI has been good to me, but Im countin down the miles to the Charger!

We just got a new Ford Interceptor SUV and it is quite impressive for what it is. Has a higher top speed than the CVPI. Everyone around here is moving away from the Dodge Charger due to their poor front suspension parts. There are a few Ford Interceptor sedan's, aka Taurus' running around. Have not driven on of them yet.

DPS bought a few of the explorers for the Panhandle area of Tx (where it snows the most). Other than that, its all Chargers (Tahoes for the DOT guys). Chargers look awesome, the new ones are really nice, but I dont think they'll hold up to the abuse like the CV did.

Not to high jack the thread but could not resist since I saw tx rep mentioned . I'm restoring a tx dps ssp mustang right now unit m6-380. The car is a 86. I'm about 2 months from finishing. Just thought you might like to see it.
