The SUV-ification of Police Fleets

[Collateral]

They still whip Obama era Chargers in my home town

I actually prefer the Explorers because I can usually tell if it’s a cop or not by the headlights. In NYC they still drive the Fusion marked cars and sometimes the newer Taurus. At night I can’t tell if it’s a cop behind me just judging by the lights so good riddance

I challenge you to count the SUVs in a store parking lot.

Just glance over.

I bet you might count 1 regular sedan for every 3 or 4 trucks/SUVs

This is out of control. Not just cop cars. All vehicles are seemingly SUVs and trucks now.

When shortgang try & compensate they overdo it

If you drive a white Explorer with a roof rack....

The police editions don’t have roof racks and no exhaust tips.

 

[BlaccSunrise]

Every time I see a Charger or Explorer on the road, I automatically assume it's a cop

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

All the city and suburb cops vehicles in my area SUVs or Chargers for atleast the last 15 years

Or back in the day, dudes use to get the old big body crown vic / caprice that were obviously cop cars before hand with the extra mirror on the side.

Use to hate seeing them shyts and thinking they were cops.

Yet another reason I drive a M3. 12 ain't catching me in a fukking Explorer...

Couldn't afford the 6 Series

. Your broke ass ain't even worth the cops effort

SUV-ification


Media is so fukking stupid

Its funny. I traded in my F150 for a Explorer. First thing I noticed after leaving the lot was that traffic was always slow as hell around me.

Took me a minute to realize that people assumed I was a cop

I think that’s my next joint idk the model but the fast one and just black it out

What’s the issue? Police departments see them are more practical than sedans… The suvs can carry more equipment and it’s a lot more space inside for bigger/fatter officers lmaoo

Ford makes the explorer fleet for police departments with hybrid technology.. most of those police suvs sit idle so with the hybrid tech 80% of the time the engine is not on.. when the battery gets to a certain % then the engine kicks on to charge up the battery and it turn off again.. That saves departments thousands off in gas
