I bet in 40 years, we’ll look back at this as one of the most impressive police car advancements. I admit, crown vics are just better but we have to move on and get with the times. The crown Vic already did it’s job and did it very impressively
FORD COME ON, MAKE A 2020 CROWN VIC JUST FOR ONE YEAR!!! That would be amazing
Nah, it would never be the same.
@CJ Lane Personally I plan on buying a Raptor new whenever it is that I can afford that but honestly a 2020 CV would be insane
@@Austin-cx2xe Doesn't matter, it would be amazing
If Ford did that they would quite literally be saying to their investors, “Hey, we plan on throwing away a couple million dollars because......well, just because.” Ford and about every other mainstream manufacturers are moving away from the sedan market. People don’t want sedans, people want SUVs and trucks.
Crown vic with a 5.0 liter...
We ALLLL wish the CVPI would make a return!
I love the officer in the back smiling like dang this dude can drive
Least the police still get column shift for gears
Bring back the manual and column shifter!
@@hankhill5622 for a police interceptor? Why?
Wolfie McFox sorry auto correct messed me up. Lol
Buy a truck if you still want column shift
loganbaileysfunwithtrains some don’t anymore
I've never seen an officer as HAPPY as this one 😂😂😂
I WANT MY OLD CROWN VIC BACK!!!!!
howtobebasic 2 - Oh yes. I drove them for many years and they were great.
Yea Yea give me my Crown Vic back that's right you heard.
LOL! That naturally aspirated v6 in the Explorer is faster than that old ass crown Vic.
@@bobalobalie finally someone who has sense lol
BewareTheIdes but the crown Vic is more reliable
That cop looked like “he really can drive “ lol
The cop had a damn big grin on his face
Can I go down to my local police station to test drive one?
No, but I'm sure there are lots of ways you can get a ride!
*robs bank*
Wow is great
@@TedwardDrives haha lol
@@mistardoyle3042 loo
i love how at 5:03 the cops in attendance asked ford reps directly about bringing back the ford crown vic. id love to see it brought back myself tbh
Wait a minute... there's commentary!
Sometimes I speak =) ... There was no way to really explain these things back to back to back with just POV
@@TedwardDrives grunts and moans would've sufficed :P
@@dingle849 Different channel ;)
How did the Cops feel about you showing them up at their own event?
Some of the cops were actually pretty fast! And make no mistake...I went over the limits of grip and found plenty of understeer like a fool a few times.
Wow is great
@@TedwardDrives haha lol
They need to bring back the crown victoria
Preston Cockrell nah that thing was a dog. Maybe nice for admin.
mustangdrew well obviously they would’ve upgraded it by now
I wish
I lived the Sho Police car
My local department still uses a few CVPIs, though they've mostly replaced them with Tahoes.
Impressive vehicles! Way better than the underpowered VW Santanas we got in China. :)
@Kilo Byte Hello !?
I thought Chinese police drove Wuling
Ford Crown Victoria 4ever :)
got that right
I own one, but I would consider the CVPI extremely obsolete. It's not a very safe car compared to most modern cars, the only saving grace it has is the ease of maintenance.
@@NightmareKato Yeah, modern cars are better, they have more hp, little engines, less consumption and are more fast, but the old cars have all the stuff the petrolheads fans want, less electronic help, more strong cars, easy fix, and more romantic feelings in the highway. FCV will be one of the best sedans and iconic car ever built in this earth, a friend in my town import 2 of them a nyc cab and a LAPD and i fall in love everytime i ride with him or see him pass in front of me, very rare cars here in europe and also one of my favs. F+cking love american cars !
NKato speak for your self on safety. I just totaled my last one and it saved mine and my girlfriends life. Some girl was texting and driving and ran her red light, I was a little far from the light when it turned green and I went through the light and tboned the texting girl at 50mph. And me and my girlfriend came out with scratches. I love crown Vic’s dude. Their tanks.
@@alexmcgregor3920 wow man thats scary af, hope you all are good, +1 one of the best sedans every built, peace!
Once...just once I would like to watch a police car test drive video on youtube with out a "you wont want to be seeing this in your rearview mirror" joke
Thank you for presenting a great video. Being Australian, I'll never see these vehicles in action. The last Australian Ford Falcon sedans made for Police work had a 6 cylinder 4.0L inline turbo charged engine, plus everything else was also beefed up ie, bigger brakes, better suspension etc. These were extremely fast even beating the Falcon V8 Police vehicle until the V8 had stretched it's legs. Couldn't out run these vehicle unless you had an imported exotic vehicle. I truely miss the Falcons, you could drive 500 miles and step out refreshed as when you first sat down in it. Comparing the Falcon, it was almost identical to the Ford Taurus exterior, the slight difference were the rear lights design and the dash panels.
Ford's design is really nice.
I still think the Ford Explorer is one of the best looking SUV out there.
We bought a 2018 explorer limited and as much as I like the land rover styling I think the Lincoln navigator is the best looking one out there
bigmatt8817 Lincoln is making a silent comeback along with Buick. I’ve seen some really nice production cars from both companies that had me take a double look haha.
Bo Han this is not a explorer, they also redesigned the explorer
@@flashjet21 lol yeah it is dude
It’s Not Sold In All Countries Especially Left Side Driving Countries
I wish I could buy the 3.0 turbo police spec minus the markings, police lights, and spotlight. Reinforced suspension, brakes, and tires would be great for all the potholes here.
The 2020 Explorer ST is predicted to share a lot of components from the police model. Just like the Interceptor Sedan and the SHO did
Thomas Griffin ik you could buy an unmarked version of the 2017 explorer, but i dont think it came with the twin turbos. Police also use the 3.7l v6 (or well for the 2017 version) compared to the 3.5l v6 twin turbo, and it made less power
Going to a police department in few weeks and there replacing all there cars with these. NIce to see what ill be driving.
The back like 0:16 makes it look like a Honda Passport, its literally the exact same
Finally, we saw your face...
I still dream of the days when we had the Plymouth and Dodge 440C.I.D. 4v Magnum Police Pursuit V-8's with NASCAR derived Goodyear Blue Streak Police Pursuit Special tires.........
Those were the days!
😏👍👌✌🚓🚔👮♂️
i’m not to big on the new look, i wish they kept the 2019 design but a hybrid cop car is a great idea
Damn! Why can't you order this fleet Explorer (without the police equipment of course) with 3.3l, column shifter, no bs touchscreen, power gate, start-stop button etc.
The hybrid braking was the main reason i traded my hybrid in. The total lack of power was another. I like what they’re doing here with supplementing an already capable engine with hybrid electricity, as opposed to replacing it.
3:33 3:39 I love the Police Interceptor Utility roar, I own a 2015 and I love it so much!
Ehhh nothing beats the V8 Vic as far as auditory pleasure.
@@CarolinaCrown98 true
A little “shuffle steer” while he was doing hand over hand 😂
Thanks you Ford for continuing the legacy of Police cruisers in America!
The 2020 explorers are awesome. Very sporty looking, even if you get a base model.
I'm renting one right now I think it's a limited but it's really agressive but smooth I'm comfortable at 90 mph
@@robertnino8997150 km/h
Great movie, man... congratulations... a hug from Brazil.
Local MA subscriber here 🙋♂️
Howdy! Thanks for watching
Ford Devens, nice. This is where I did the driving course for the academy. Annnd I’m sitting in a 2020 explorer right now lol.
Impressive from behind safety feature!!!
I believe this is the only video with the person always behind the steering wheel showing his face
WOW 8 years and let me get this straight a whole 100K miles of warranty on the hybrid system???? PLEASE!!!!! You put 100k miles in the first year and a half on these units!!! 🤣
5 years/100,000 miles, same as Dodge and Chevy police vehicles.
No idea where 8 years came from.
P Kranz ford offers 8 years or 100k miles warranty for the hybrid model.
100000 is usually about 2 years for a county or highway department, and 1.7 years for a city department, if I'm not mistaken, so it's really not a lot considering most departments swap vehicles every 4-7 years
I know the 3.3L is the least power engine but I wish it available at least with the base or XLT Explorer. I personally don't trust small turbo engines with too much boost and I don't want complicated hybrid system.
Regards.
Whop whop that's the sound of the police ;-)
Whop whop that's the sound of the beast.
lmao that cop in the backseat looked like that was the ride of his life
If they Made a 2022 Crown Vic without butchering it and kept the the body original to the 2010 or 2011 (True Sedan) with very little change, except the engine and such no doubt about it, that car will sell crazy fast
I prefer the crown vics over these or even the new Tahoe’s
I really don't, as much as we all love the nostalgic crown victoria, the 2020 FPIU is by FAR the fastest, probably safest and most efficient cruisers. The 3.0 Ecoboost absolutely flies past a Tahoe, with a top speed around 10-15mph higher.
0:17 Ayyy represent, Mass State Troopers wooo, can't wait to see those new cars on the road (hopefully not behind me with lights on) but looking good
Those look epic
@@coydog7902 possibly the ugliest design ever
These should only be for police not civilians. It gets scary seeing one of these only to turn out it’s a soccer mom.
Mr. Woofless You must be up to something if you’re scared of them.
Nathan Petrovski when you get a license you’ll understand. They out here just pulling people over for no reason.
Mr. Woofless how? With no lights p,siren or even a skin
Aidan Schackmann undercover cars exist you know. No markings except a tiny badge on the back and the lights are hidden behind the tinted windows.
Spartacus Smith you can still tell b/c most of the time they dont have the explorer badge on the back, or the wheels look different, the grill has lights hidden in that radiator part
A locality where Ford HQ is located has been using these still with there M plates. Im not sure if it was real world testing or what but it was cool seeing one show up at a crash scene even before its release.
The New York State Police Also Known As State Troopers Doesn’t Use The 2020 Ford Explorer Interceptor Utility
Germany now also has Ford Explorer as police cars in Saarland.
That thing is bitchin’ ... I got a Fusion Hybrid and it’s been bulletproof for the past 155k miles.
I had noooo clue you even had the ability to show excitement in your Voice
Ford Crown Victoria!!
In Québec, the Hybrids are selling like HOT CAKES. I've seen at least 15 calls for tenders for the Hybrid models in the last couple of months, literally every department is gobbling them up.
Aluminum engine and transmission to save gas, keep the vehicle light. My co worker had is hybrid engine they replace it for free, they said when the engine goes out again there replace it until Ford comes up with a fix. So good for the warranty. But a police vehicle is supposed to be tough and be able to take a beating and keep running, well but at least back in the day.
My town is still holding onto their Crown Vics and couple Mustangs
You Should put a V8 in the Police Explorer and the Taurus
I felt the Crown vics were a great police car. Although, I am retired now, I wouldn't mind testing one of these SUV's out. Ford does make some good police cars although, my PV's are Chevy. But I will see how these do. I never drove one of the Dodge Charger (police packages) But I have heard and even seen them chase sports motorcycles down without a lot of effort. I wouldn't mind checking one of those out either. But back to ford. Looks like you may have a vehicle that some departments (especially in hilly or mountainous terrain) would be great. Keep impressing us!
I wish I could buy one without lights, radios, or a spot light for use as a utility vehicle…
Damn i want one!
I'm curious, why doesnt Ford want to make more Vic's?
big sedan means low mpg, it has a lot of downsides for government regulation and consumer desires
Ford mentioned a few years ago that the Panther platform that the Crown Vic and the Town Car rode on was getting too old and out dated. It doesn’t meet current safety standards and Ford would have had to spend lots of money on it.
The Panther platform is a favorite because it had a full body of frame chassis as opposed to unitized body that the current Explorers use meaning better durability and repairablility.
Why wouldn't they make a hybrid or 3.0T Crown Vic? It seemed like those cars were well loved by police and even a lot of civilians who would buy them at auction. Seems like an easy win for Ford to do.
Crazy how “small” the engine sizes are now 3.0 - 3.3 …. Crazy how smaller is better now
The amount a car is at idle a hybrid is a great idea
Dude the cop was living in the background on that test drive
Biggest smile ever
Can’t wait to have one in my driveway in a few years. Yes I’m that guy who buys retired cop cars.
Chevy Caprice with the LT1 police package! That's the one they need to bring back 😝😝
the new 2020 explorer police is still column shifter?!?! so, I don't think this is the electronic transmission like civilian model in 2020-future. In 2011-2019 model they use the same 6f55 transmission no matter the 3.7 or 3.5 ecoboost which is interchangeable but some mods is needed.
"Do you know why you are getting pull over"
"No"
"Reckless Driving"
What is the name of the music that started in this video ?
Your gay
They need to bring back the Crown Vic
Too late.
Everyone begging for a Crown Vic didn’t have to patrol in one in New England I guess. I loved the crown Vic, but it sucked in the snow. I wish Ford would go back to running V8s in interceptors though. A healthy 5.0 coyote would be killer.
Cops and Civilians: Hey, we really liked that Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis/Town Car thing. You should *_totally_* bring that back. It would be awes-
Ford: NO. NO NO NO. YOU'RE A DUMMY.
Cops and Civilians: ... okay, can you at least not end production of your Sedan and Hatchback lineup? The Focus is a pretty cool car too, and I'd ha-
Ford: NO. WHY ARE YOU SO DUMMY?
Very interesting to see you wander into a police car and have a seat.
My face when you said Ford aren't gonna bring back the Crown Vic was so depressing and why do Ford keep putting the same steering wheel in most of their models?
Why is the 3.7 v6 discontinued? It has more power and torque than than this new 3.3 v6.
1 tip. Step back when doing the 360 around the vehicle. You cut off the top.
Ford Needs To Make A Right Hand Drive Explorer Police Interceptor Utility
Background track? That's the type of shit I bump in my 458 while outrunning the interceptors.
Cop in the back is like "Do you have any idea how fast you were going back there?"
scoping out the competition
Were you able to drift them?
Unfortunately the Nannies stayed on, but the rear bias tells me if you could disengage them completely, it would get tail happy
@@TedwardDrives I see.
@@TedwardDrives Camaro Vs Ford Mustang.
That's the old Fort Devon. Cool.
Why in the world would they make a POLICE INTERCEPTOR a hybrid??! Come on Ford!!
I out run them in my 5.3 supercharged all the time
You can't outrun Motorola and the helicopters!
...and hopefully the exhaust doesn’t leak into the cabin
Killer instinct spinal story/ Dry bones/Dragon SKully work kettering
EXCELLENT video!!!!!
at least 5 of those cones had to be pulverized

This was the same tarmac that I got to drive a 2013 MSP cruiser on lmfao
I wish it was a sedan!
All Interceptors should be equipped with the 3.0L Ecoboost.
Bro, this car needs to be launched in our India
2:15 you can always take a ride on a backseat😁
The hybrids won’t sell well. The only agencies that will get them are places like San Fran.
In the wise words of Tom Lehrer:
*If the 'hoods don't get you, the monoxide will*
It looks like a good choice for a Cannonball run ngl
I don't want my squad car to have any control over itself, just give me a crown vic!
Why can’t the Column shifter be an option? So sick of floor shifters on every new car! I never remember life like this 10 years ago! Now nobody has a car with a column shifter!
(What I mean is that I wish Ford would offer the Column Shifter as a dealer option for Civilian Models).
id like to see a race between that and a rover SVR shit be wild
Cracks me up- the Ford rep riding shotgun is hanging on to the siren controller in turns. Did Whelen spec for that?
I read in I think Motor Trend...that the Fords...Explorer and Taurus are "pursuit rated" meaning they can take a hit....jump curbs etc and keep going....the Fiats and chevys can't. The hybrids would be good Sarge cars...not everyday units but supervisor type.
Should be Regen brake first then mechanical brake
The CVPI was the ultimate police cruiser. All others are failures. Our local department has these hybrids and they are universally hated by everyone who is forced to drive them. Usually the higher ranking officers get the new cars, but in this case they pass them down to the lower ranking as those with seniority stick with the Chargers- which suck compared to the Crown Vic.
