- A a BIG THANK YOU to the 100+ Subscribers, please accept this bonus video on a new Police Interceptor just chillin' open on dealership's lot.
I always liked the ol' Crow Vics Interceptors, but we live in an age where everyone drives SUV's and Crossovers so here we go.
Hope you like and the race to the next 100 subs is on!

3.3L Naturally aspirated engine, sure it has a very reliable powertrain because of no turbo, or complicated hybrid system. I enjoyed your video. Thanks.
Thank you! This powertrain is probably for the higher ups who don't chase after after bad guys.
@@VitaliyKofman even patrol cars may use it. For urban environments plus some departments may not want hybrids.
I like those naturally aspirated engines as well. The durability factor is good. Buying these used having 130,000 miles on them is like buying a tractor trailer used with the same amount of miles. Good value all around.
Oh okay ✅ thank
I don't get why column shifters aren't more common, that gives a lot more room for storage in the center console.
So far the best video on UA-cam describing the 2020 police interceptor, thank you.
Thank you!
Guardian fleet safety goes into an absurd amount of detail if you want more info
thank you! really enjoyed the video
Thank you! Appreciate your support!
There is a huge Explorer fanbase and interceptor also. That’s why your video does so well. I like my Explorer too.
I guess the fact that it's a "pre-interceptor" adds +5 points
Hmm,missed this when you first posted it.
Good video,very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it! This is my most popular video for some reason :)
You can already buy these used, awesome.
Yes you can!
i'm surprised...it's Not 'LOCKED'!!....Great video..thanks!...$40 G's ...approx. $52 G's Canadian!....i do Like the 'Practicality of the 'vehicle'!...Cheers!
Thank you! This is my most viewed video 😃
@11:50, that is just the metal plate that the center console mounts to - it protects the traction control inertia sensor below that "!" don't drill in this area stamping.
@19:17, you pushed the overhead trunk-lock button which starts a 10-second countdown where the rear trunk release button will function... but then you spent the next 12 seconds pushing a bunch of other buttons, finally trying the trunk button at 15 seconds. The key always works.
Thanks for the comment!
Badass
Not sure if this directed at me or the car, but thank you either way! :D
I want to find one too!!
I really like the 3rd row delete, vinyl floors, extra cargo room, and overall performance!
I have no use for the strobe lights…
They are sold to general public after service with the police is over :)
@@VitaliyKofman I wish i could find one!
They should make a column shifter option. Some People like me like that kind of gear shifter!
14:11
I don't know why column shifters are considered "old". With all the manufacturers trying their button shifters and rotary dials to save space, I'm like - just stick it on the wheel
@@VitaliyKofman
Yeah! I loved it on my parents 2004 Ford Escape (only car I ever used with that shifter). Floor shifter just aren’t my thing and now buttons are replacing both kinds of shifters as we have seem with GM’s full size suvs and Honda’s vehicles.
@@42luke93 I'm fine either way, but a strong believer of not fixing something that's not broken. My Town Car is the 1st owned car with column shifter and I love it!
@@VitaliyKofman
What kind of car you used to have?
i have a base 2021 explorer with the 3.3 naturally aspirated its gets up and moves no problems passing people on a mountain has to be more reliable than the turbo models that they are having problems with
I did the same shit you did opening the hood looking for the latch 😅😂😂
Pretty badass looking. these newer ones look a bit longer and seem to sit lower than the older models. I like. It also has the engine sitting longitudinally. and best of all, it's rear-wheel drive. just like the 'Vic'.
I'm not an expert on cop cars, but every time I see white or black explorer in my rear view mirror = terror (even thought I don't speed often in my Town Car)
@@VitaliyKofman I hear ya, haha!
Interceptors are now only AWD actually
@@informeddissident But they're based RWD... the old Explorer was based FWD.
There's more that goes into a police package then meets the eye. Not the basic explorer
@ 4:49 What a guy never wants to hear her say.
Hahah!
My insurance broker just bought a 2015 from a private sale. These vehicles are basic equipment but built for work and they are fitted for police use. My friend has a P71 police Crown Victoria black it scares people when he is behind them especially on the highway!
Congrates on your 100 subs !!😎👍
Thank you! This was an interesting exploration and a lucky find - unlocked. Glad folks are enjoying it!
There’s a timer to open the hatch, i believe it’s like 30 seconds, many 16-19 piu have it too
Thank you! I didn't know it at the time.
45 seconds.
In 11-19(U502) have a trunk unlock button then 45 seconds.
In 2020(U625) just regular door unlock then 45 seconds.
@@bara2ban i had a 2014 and unlocked the car and the trunk remained unlocked until i hit the lock button again
@@PollosHiPerformance I guess it's either been decommissioned from a Police Interceptor or probably like you mentioned started from 2016.
@@PollosHiPerformance there's a no cost option now to eliminate the locking "feature" because departments complained to ford. I think it's new for this model year
This is my dream car, with all the options like the ballistic doors for example, just because they're cool.
Agreed! Especially if you got some folks after you :D
3:43 you can buy a brand new 2020 or 2021 Ford Explorer interceptor just like any other car as long as it’s not equipped with lights or sirens and it’s a bare bones model like such in the video!
Thanks for the comment 👍
That's not actually true. They only sell new to government or other approved agencies. Civilians can't buy brand new PPV. Sometimes you can find a "used" car with a couple hundred clicks on it, but super rare
@@informeddissident you are wrong. You can buy one just like any other explorer. Ill be getting one.
@@staying_spooky directly from Ford ? Should not be possible as a Civ to place an order for a new Ford PIUV.
@@mrskflynn its called you go to a dealership that has them then buy it. Not buying it DIRECTLY. Buying it at a dealership with a window sticker....
Interestingly enough our Police department took the center caps off of their wheels after they got their brand new Interceptors.
They are afraid of them being stolen :P
It can't be put on the dealer's website since it technically sold to that agency.
You are right
Wish it had a bigger screen like the civilian model
Thanks for the comment! Cops have plenty of screens all around with their cameras and laptop :)
The 3.3 L V6 shows as a credit on the window sticker because the more expensive Hybrid engine is standard on the 2020s and most Departments downgrade to the cheaper regular V6.
Thanks for the comment! I wonder how PD will react when they have to replace those hybrid batteries after a couple years of heavy use these cars see.
@@VitaliyKofman
I know Chicago likes the Hybrid ones but like Hamilton said probably the majority of PDs will drop the hybrid and take the 3.3L so no batteries to worry about.
@@Lion-dr7uv Thanks for the comment. I can imagine that PDs don't want to mess with batteries either. Long term can get very expensive.
@@VitaliyKofman
Absolutely, the way they use their cars they’d be trading out their batteries every couple of years.
Since I'm fairly new to your channel I had to ch4ck this one out from a year ago.
This was once my #1 video for a long time :)
I enjoyed this video since I own a 2020 Explorer Platinum that I bought last year. I am surprised how basic the police model is but I can see why and it looks like there is enough room to our end equipment in. Not sure the red dome light is bright enough but would be fun to test.
The biggest disappointment is the 3.3 non turbo V6 engine.
Thanks for the comment! This is as basic as it gets. Cops get the very basic, but do they really need that super cheap radio? It's almost a joke to ever have that. I never saw a "-" on the window sticker due to engine options.
@@VitaliyKofman the base engine is the hybrid. It puts out 315 horses. There's the 3.3 downgrade to 285 horses and the 3.5 ecoboost upgrade to 380 horses. Because the base model is the hybrid instead of the actual lower end engine all the components are pricier
@@informeddissident As far is i know the 3.5 Ecoboost is long gone. It's a 3.0 Ecoboost nowadays
@@AVC-Works It has 400HP
I'd love to configure one of these online, if a civilian could that is.
Just do the base black Explorer, but it will probably be a bit more upscale.
You can buy the interceptors new at dealerships. Why does no one know this….
@@staying_spooky Yes I've seen some on AutoTempest but there's no official configurator from Ford, just a catalog. Can you custom order one from a dealership though? It seems you are more knowledgeable on this than most.
@@staying_spooky It really is weird how nobody knows this. It's so cool that you can buy a police spec car brand new.
Do y’all think you will get some disadvantages when driving this kinda cars? For example, criminals might wanna get you cuz they might gonna think ur a real police. And a real police might gonna set their eyes on you more? Idk, this might be a problem for people driving this kinda cars.
I think most common side effect is that everyone around you will always drive the speed limit :)
@@VitaliyKofman Since i live in Chicago, after I get mine, ima make sure I don’t drive it around the south part of the Chicago area. People there don’t love the police that much.
Good idea
I see more police trade ins driving around in the hood than I do anywhere else, it’s because theyre auctioned off and cheaper than buying from a dealer. And people who have frequent run-ins with police KNOW the difference between a cop car and a retired cop car. As for cops, I don’t know what they think about someone driving a police trade in, it’s legal to buy and own. So I don’t think they care one bit
I understand that this was a learning process for you... But rather than give out the incorrect info, open the glove compartment and pull out the owners manual... It will tell you everything you need to know. Also, if I heard you right, your at the dealership while they're closed on a Sunday? I hope you got permission to look through these vehicles... Or you'll get a hands on lesson about the back seat of the patrol car... Lol
This is my oldie, but goodie video 😀
Can an ordinary civilian drive/own one…
I don't think so and believe you have to be registered with some police department to purchase new.
@@VitaliyKofman ,
*Brand new one* - ONLY LEOs can buy/order.
*Used one* - anyone can buy. I've seen a guy buying a USED(unused) one from a dealer because police department got too many of them so they returned some. But because it was already registered to a department - it cannot be considered new.
You are correct. As long as it was once registered to a government entity = civilians can buy even if it's got 1 mile on it.
Nice… basically anybody can own an almost zero mileage explorer then…
@@dexteww
...that if you find one before someone else does.
😃😃
No one uses strobes anymore. Its all LED
Thanks for the comment!
The reverse lamps are still halogen, for some reason
Thanks for the comment!
@@dl5fse990 halogen reverse lamps because its cheaper
The interior redesign on the 20+ models looks worse than than the previous generation explorer. Too cheap and cheesy looking, Cost cutting perhaps? Just my opinion.
Crown Vic is better
Nah it's old now the explorers better and the ta
Taurus better
No way that is for police not for civilians
Yes, this is specifically for Police use. I found this car at a dealership before it's sold to a police department that will do final alterations before it goes into service.
6 ppl dont know shit about police intetceptors...
They probably had some 1st hand experience in the back of one :P
