Police package Crown Vic on road tires with a true OG behind the wheel. Defies all "off road" logic. $100k+ customized Wranglers just got pimp slapped.
100k jeep guys seem to think money is a replacement for common sense and driving skills, they even look down on my stock Tacoma with no lift kits or diff locks and I still crush mud runs while they mumble about how my tires arent 35s
That's my fav thing from this. Like who cares. A tire is gonna grip unless yo some crazy encline. You don't need worry about no pressure lmao. Crown Vic will get you home rest you be sured.
I think my favorite thing about the video is listening to the negativity the fancy pants 4 wheel drive pilots spew while the awesome guy in the crown Vic does his own thing with his dog. That's life man. People want to mumble negative stuff about you all day as they watch you kick ass. Some of us are born to be the crazy crown Vic guy, others are born to be the negative comment Nancys.
stvynix This is a Chuck Norris move...Clint Eastwood would've made it to the top...Shot the car up with a blue steal 357. Magnum and rode away on a horse.
I know him,he lives in moab south end of town. very nice guy, a little crazy,lol, but a nice guy. he has a few of them ford crown vic's in his yard. he does this a lot with them.
@@raisingjo5976 Im so glad to hear that he's still kicking! Your grandpa is a legend all the way up here in canada! He truly knows how to dive and offroad
I love the people at the end just trying to justify spending tens of thousands of dollars moding their jeeps, 'yeah, well... His transmission won't take it for long...' And, 'I hope it's a rental EEL OH ELL' What's really funny though is that while they're out there playing dress up pretending they're hitting the tough stuff... Oh, there goes grandmas car on her way to the grocery store. But what am I saying? ...You just got to be locked with 4.56s on 38s and your 7ft lift when you're out there in the shit.
+Sierra175 what's funny is that the trans probably never had any issues. i've owned 2 vics with over 300k on them and they both still laid rubber all up and down my road never a single issue.
"What tire pressure are you using?" "Uh...Whatever's in there." Haha! Love it!!! Love the dogs chasing along, too! Why did I just drop 40 grand on a Jeep when I could have just bought ten of these?!
If people say the Ford ranger is a truck on a car chassis then the crown Vic is a car on a truck chassis. Yes you can off-road a crown Vic surprisingly well better than some trucks even. I surprise the hell out of people when i drive my P71 off road. Hell you can even put a lift kit in them if you're crazy enough
He hopes its a rental? Who would bring a rental out there? What a negative dude with nothing positive to say. '95 Crown Vic Interceptor for the win! That guy is the man!
I love the know-it-all Jeep guy at the end of the video. He's just mad some guy in a $2500 Crown Vic is doing the same thing that his $25,000 Jeep is doing.
OMG. Wow. This is so freaking awesome. Look for two large coconut-shaped indentations on the driver's seat. btw, beautiful dog, and I respect the video-maker's peers for welcoming the dog warmly. give this guy a jeep and he'll drive up the Empire State building.
The older CVs had decent factory rear LSD and available gearing down to 4.10 I believe. Good clearance for a sedan too. Yeah as long as the tires stay glued, and the driver has skill (this old dude has tons, even if he doesn't know it), I can see this happening. Awesome guy lol.
I laugh at how casual the guy with the dog and Crown Vic is. Some folks just do't understand what a typical car is capable of doing. I drove a 1979 Datsun 510 4-door sedan for a couple decades, had 250,000 on it when I sold it, and still ran great. 4-speed stick. I did things with that car that eye-popped the people who were there. Did thousands of miles on logging roads, mountain dirt roads, and it never let me down except when I blew a hose and warped the head. I would do steep, seldom-graded logging roads with 3 adult passengers, four 60-80-lb. 20' long hang gliders strapped to the top rack, and all our gear in the trunk and on the back seat guys' laps. It squatted down on the springs, I won't lie, but it just went, and not a complaint. The passengers would grunt from the sardine effect, but laughed at how well this little old RWD Japanese car did what their 4WD rigs did, and didn't fail. Even pulled a mustang out of a ditch, where its back tires were in the air, the front out into the road. Stupid kid tried to back and turn around, didn't know where his wheels were. They loved me! Hahaha!
Dude: that automatic transmission isn't going to last for long... Crown vic people: well, it's basically a truck transmission behind a truck motor with a massive trans cooler because...you know....police duty and stuff.....
This guy's easily the biggest pimp in Moab...takes his super long, rear wheel drive, $1000 sedan out there and makes a total mockery of all these cheeseballs in their 'badass' 4x4s. I love it.
There's a reason why the Police and Taxis have run those older full size cars for as long as they can milk 'em out. More or less, they're able to take a beating and not give any shits about it.
These brave old guys.... haha. I guess they know what they're doing. I LOVE this guy!!! I love how the Hummer is too scared to go where the Crown Vic has gone... hilarious.
...to add to the comments about this Driver is...impossible. The guy had been out there...more than a few times. My wife and I...wussies from Back East...took a 3 hour tour iin an H1...and I was 'impressed'. This guy is amazing...maybe one day we will get back there...until then...take care of this special place. Just amazing...what a Driver. The car is only doing what the Driver tells it to do!!
You shuld have watched the Lincoln Town Car climb off road over rocks boulders etc on BBCs Top Gear. Now on reruns but available from Itunes shows. It was awesome.
I go up to a mountain cabin with my friend in his big 4x4 truck on the worst road / trail I have ever been on. Was asking him what he thought was the minimum type of vehicle you could get up the road and he told me he used to drive his VW Beetle up to his cabin back in the 70's.
No shit the Hummer's too scared to climb up there. Most overrated "off road" vehicle there ever was. I lost count of how many of them I pulled out the bog pits using my '93 2WD Ranger with 3.0L V6.
Just shows to go ya......4WD ain't all that "Special" now is it? A few yrs ago my longtime buddy Mike invited me to join him at his at his Elk hunting camp in the "Desolation Unit" in E Oregon. Now his camp was located at the end of a nasty fire road near a fire lookout on a bald knob well over 7,000 ft above sea level. There is a good spring there near the end of the road.......the fire lookout is a walkup, road don't go that far. I never went there before but he gave me good directions and I mapped it on Google. I overloaded my '78 Toyota Celica PO boy Sportscar with camping gear, food and much beer and followed directions. Now if U don't know that be a 96 hp compact hatchback car with about 8 inches of ground clearance. The so called road was 13 mi of a 4WD jeep trail 2 wheel ruts with plenty rocks. Oh yeah, first and second gear all the way. Took me 90 min to climb 5,000 ft altitude in them 13 miles........scraped bottom more than once. I had good tires on this RWD city car. 14 inch M/S aggressive tread on the rear like U might find on a compact 4WD PU. Good traction in the foot deep dust pockets and gripped the rocky spots nicely. Thot I'd never get there but finally got to the camp area. Were about 6 camps around the spring there. Every one got there in a big $30,000 4WD pickup. That evening we sitting around Mike's big 14X24 tent drinking beers and all the 4WD neighbors come over. They look at my little dusty city car and all ask the same question. "HOW the Hell DID U get Here?". I smile and sip my brew and say......":Same way U did....I just followed my headlights". Proof was right there in front of them, not to be denied. My daddy never owned a 4WD but he had a saying about it. "U go to the mts with a 2WD and get stuck anybody comes along with a 4WD can pull U out........U go to the mts with a 4WD and get stuck anybody comes along with a D8 Cat can pull U out!" Lotta wisdom in that! He went places with 2WD 4WD folks never got to. Lotta incompetent folks go into the mts thinking "OH but we got 4WD" And hafta be rescued. Dad and I both have kept a tow chain in our 2WD cars and pickups and have pulled out more than our share of 4WD overconfident fools. Now I'm old, Last January I bought my first 4WD., Ya, it's a cream puff, not nearly as rugged as a WW2 Dodge Power Wagon. Got all kinds of comfort accessories. Sure, pwr steering and brakes, pwr windows and locks, pwr sunroof, AC, Shift on the fly 4WD, Nice ride and I got it cheap. All the stuff folks nowdays think is necessary in any car. 1990 Toyota 4 Runner. BIG UTE. I like it. Bought it 4 new tires, Got the nastiest tread on them I could find. No use having a 4WD with street tires on it now is there? That's how other fools get stuck. Tires are really the secret of off road performance and few understand that.
While I love panthers, 30mpg is definitely a stretch. Based on reading real-world reports from many vic owners, as well as my own, mid-20s highway is more realistic. Probably upper teens to low 20s for mixed driving. I'd still take one over a "smaller shit box with more blinking lights" any day though.
I used to off road in my Crown Vic Station wagon. Unless we got into deep mud I could always keep up with my two buddies that were driving a 4x4 S10 and a Jeep. In sand that thing was a boss!
The Transmission in the Panther platform is really nice, and the weight distribution is a lot more even because of how heavy the front and rear is. One winter I was pulling out of my inclined driveway with my Grand Marquis (Same car, different name), and the slushy snow and ice didn't stop my car from pulling out, granted I did experience a little bit of skidding, it rolled out nicely.
For that I'm jealous. I was in the service with a guy that had a retired Caprice with a vette engine in it. It was a detective's car, so it was a solid dark blue. I prefer a Vic, but that car was motivating.
Yeah, I was just looking on craigslist and I have found some really nice crown vics from 2008 with around 80k miles for about $4k. That sounds like alot of car for an amazing price.
I was in the middle of west Virginia backwoods just watched several trucks try to get up the hill to where we were camping and couldn't make it a hour later we saw headlights coming and it was my buddy's dad in his k car cruising up it like nothing
Run what you brung. It ain't what you buy, it's what you build. Off Roading is 75% skill, 20% vehicle, and the other half is Intestinal fortitude. I've had Jeeps and retired Ford cop cars both got stuck plenty.
Same reason they killed off the 300 I6 and never followed through with making a manual transmission crown Vic: too reliable too easy to fix you can't make money if someone's thing lasts forever If they had actually built a crown Vic with a 5 speed like they were thinking of doing it would be an un killable car
@@whocares5188 There are rumours they were experimenting with one at very least for the marauder Unfortunately this stuff all comes down to some guy on the internet who said he worked there at the time so it could be someone making BS up. Manual swapping a vic is very easy though
Those old CVs are on truck frames! I got rear ended in mine when I was at a dead stop, by a guy who was driving a full size suburban.. his whole front end was done in.. radiator all busted and he was immobilized when he slammed into the frame rail behind my bumper doing 45 mph...It was a 1997 police run out from Manteca police department. It saved my life. All I had to do was fill the bumper up with expanding foam and replace a tail light 🤣🤣🤣
Though its capabilities may be bewildering to those uninitiated or to the close minded, it really shouldn't surprise any true fan of old, full framed American sedans that this Vic was able to cut it around here. Hails to that driver, who understands his machine!
Rock crawling, mudding, slick trails would be impossible for a car. However...traction is key when it comes to steep sandstone. All weather radials are just as good if not better than mud tires in this scenario
I know... It's crazy what some grocery getters can do. I used to take a Pontiac Montana VAN to check wells, it got 28mpg and would haul a gas powered hot dog air compressor and all my tools and then easily navigate across new locations after a drilling rig moved out by rig up trucks, all wheel rutted deep, in 6 inches of mud and do surprisingly well in the hills. I beat that thing, dragged all the exhaust off of it, fixed it cheap, then sold it to my neighbor who still to this day makes trips from Nebraska to Jaurez Mexico.
When I was in high school I hung out w/ boys who had big 4x4 trucks with big tires (you know the type!). We all went driving down a muddy construction road that led to a hangout spot in a cleared field. Everyone was convinced only someone with a 4x4 truck might make it down that road to disturb us. Lo and behold my dad found out what I was up to and *came to get me!* He rolled up in a rented Ford Taurus; everyone was more surprised HOW he was able to do it than by his presence. Sure enough he succesfully took us back out the same road! 😂
What is sad is people pay a lot of money for jeeps and a $1500 full size american sedan can do the same thing. Maybe jeeps suck? I had a $1000 1994 Isuzu Amigo that could go places Jeeps could not.
Hell's revenge is not a difficult trail. It's more of a trail for beginners or people who can't otherwise justify the cost of a toy they don't know how to use.

If they had actually built a crown Vic with a 5 speed like they were thinking of doing it would be an un killable car
Ford decided it was too costly to add electronic stability control,which was mandated into effect 2012. The last CVPI was built in 2011.
@@P7777-u7r was they even talking about making a manual vic? Man that would be sick with a voodoo engine

There are rumours they were experimenting with one at very least for the marauder
Unfortunately this stuff all comes down to some guy on the internet who said he worked there at the time so it could be someone making BS up. Manual swapping a vic is very easy though
It’s 85% driver and 15% equipment 👍🏻 keep the shiny side up
Ah, that Ford power steering pump whine.
You should hear mine when it is freezing
I really wish crown vics would be as cheap over here. Those are awesome pieces of crap for sure!
Those old CVs are on truck frames! I got rear ended in mine when I was at a dead stop, by a guy who was driving a full size suburban.. his whole front end was done in.. radiator all busted and he was immobilized when he slammed into the frame rail behind my bumper doing 45 mph...It was a 1997 police run out from Manteca police department. It saved my life. All I had to do was fill the bumper up with expanding foam and replace a tail light 🤣🤣🤣
Lol dudes spend more on a set of coilovers than this car is worth... Lol wtf ... Legend !
If a crown Vic can do that, I’m afraid to find out what the bronco will do
Thats My Dad. Riding in the car with dad was all interested
I love how theres just no fucks given with this guy. Its awesome
Crown Vic where it's more at home on the hills than trying to park the damm thing in a park at a shopping center in So Cal..
That dog jumped out the trunk and said ''screw this!''
Though its capabilities may be bewildering to those uninitiated or to the close minded, it really shouldn't surprise any true fan of old, full framed American sedans that this Vic was able to cut it around here. Hails to that driver, who understands his machine!
rock on vic buddy!
lol
I mean can you be more American than this?😂🔥 sick dude
Wtf! Here I am scouting to lift and mod my 2013 Xterra and the Crown Vic owned Moab. Made me feel stupid. Lol
I'm driving a 2007 p71 now wit 290+ on the dash and is still a beast
It’s not what you drive, it’s how you drive.
Rock crawling, mudding, slick trails would be impossible for a car. However...traction is key when it comes to steep sandstone. All weather radials are just as good if not better than mud tires in this scenario
That guy is my hero
I can confirm this. Too many times have I roared by a cop with mine at 40+ above the speed limit and nothing's happened.
wow, this is FUCKING AWSOME! CROWN VICS ARE BEAST!
This is how they do it in Africa. I was amazed what we went through with a Corolla that stateside would require a lifted 4x4 with bigger tires.
I know... It's crazy what some grocery getters can do. I used to take a Pontiac Montana VAN to check wells, it got 28mpg and would haul a gas powered hot dog air compressor and all my tools and then easily navigate across new locations after a drilling rig moved out by rig up trucks, all wheel rutted deep, in 6 inches of mud and do surprisingly well in the hills. I beat that thing, dragged all the exhaust off of it, fixed it cheap, then sold it to my neighbor who still to this day makes trips from Nebraska to Jaurez Mexico.
Obviously the key is to have your trunk open.
I seen a dude drive an old All Road up Hells Gate years ago... He made it look easy.. Just like this dude...
Nice SPOTTING DOG!
When I was in high school I hung out w/ boys who had big 4x4 trucks with big tires (you know the type!). We all went driving down a muddy construction road that led to a hangout spot in a cleared field. Everyone was convinced only someone with a 4x4 truck might make it down that road to disturb us. Lo and behold my dad found out what I was up to and *came to get me!* He rolled up in a rented Ford Taurus; everyone was more surprised HOW he was able to do it than by his presence.
Sure enough he succesfully took us back out the same road! 😂
All BALLS.
Thats why I bought one... Plus the old police cars still have good safety ratings as well
" what tire pressure do you use?"
" what ever is in there"
BOSS
I swear you can do almost anything in a retired cop car! I also think everybody should own oneAt least once in their life
At 53 yrs young, I finally had to scratch that itch. Bought a 2011 CVPI and I love it. The perfect car for the coming apocalypse.
@@stevomcsteve9492 RIGHT! I have newer nicer cars but I love my cop car! Lol also a 2011 cvpi with super low mileage.
What is sad is people pay a lot of money for jeeps and a $1500 full size american sedan can do the same thing. Maybe jeeps suck? I had a $1000 1994 Isuzu Amigo that could go places Jeeps could not.
I guess that answers the question of wether or not my mostly stock 94 4runner could make it. Lol
Cool guy. I like his K9 scouts :)
Hell's revenge is not a difficult trail. It's more of a trail for beginners or people who can't otherwise justify the cost of a toy they don't know how to use.
