Beautiful job, Jason! I’m retired but I would have enjoyed having this as a take-home vehicle. I didn’t realize it when I bought my current car, but it’s a 2020 Ford Explorer Limited--white. Everyone thinks it’s a PD slick-top on the freeways. I don’t know why it didn’t dawn on me. I got a good deal on it so I bought it, didn’t even think about it being “cop” because so many things are different, The civilian version that I have can’t be mistaken for a cop car by another cop, but I guess people who don’t know better just assume things….I thought the target was off my back as well. It might be time for a trade-in to something not anywhere close to a PD style. Again, nice job on that vehicle. The department should be very happy with that. (The worst lights and sirens we ever had on our cars were those V-shaped Vector light bars. The pods had a habit of turning themselves on at random. The clear pods (we had two-one on each side) were also our alley lights. You’d be driving along on midnight shift down some residential street nice and blacked out, when out of nowhere a clear pod turns itself on and slowly moves from space to space, making a full turn in about 2 minutes. There was no way to turn them off at that point. Killing the power did nothing, turning the car off did nothing. We had to turn them in so that the shop could fix them in the morning. So glad it’s all low-profile LED stuff now.

How do you steady burn the Ford Factory lights?

Hubcaps..... yikes. But i guess if you're trying to fit in. Need some red in those lights, but maybe not used in that state?

Never seen the police interceptor in that year with a chrome grille only the black that’s a police package or civilian package?

@ne2way560 2 жыл бұрын

It is a police package but the grill was changed out at the customers request so that it would be more low profile and blend in for traffic enforcement

Can civilians special order their Explorer to have the column shifter like these?

I wish we could have ordered it with the traditional column shifter. I really don’t like the round knob. I guess you can say it looks cool, but it’s not as practical (for me). Also, for anyone that has the civilian version of this in AWD, the smaller round knob in the center console controls the vehicle’s traction (Sport, Eco, Standard, Snow, Mud, Rocks, I think that’s all of them), I HATE the way it’s set up “backwards” in my opinion. I always mess it up--every time--and have to back up the dial and go the other direction. I know that Sport mode is two dial clicks to the left of the default start-up setting (Standard). When I turn the dial left, it moves right. And when I move it right, it goes left. You have to train your mind to understand how they set this thing up. You can watch on the dash as the entire electronic display moves in a circle to the right. The circle moves to the right--does this make sense? If not, then the rest of this will not. So just imagine an electronic circle on your dash that shows the different traction modes. Again, the entire circle, as an example, moves to the right. But it moves to the right by turning the dial LEFT. And if you want the circle to move left, you have to turn the dial to the right. I don’t think I’ll ever adjust to this in my mind. Ford’s explanation is that you have the various traction settings on the circle. Even though the circle is moving to the right when you turn the dial left, that’s because it goes by the order in which they appear on the circle. A real example would be Sport mode being two positions to the left of Standard. So Ford says, since it’s two spaces over to the left, you just move the dial left. But that is not natural--it’s backwards. Even though what they say is correct about choosing things based where they are on the dial, I have to take my eyes off the road or pull over if I want to change because it’s very confusing. You can do this at home with just a piece of paper and pretend it’s round (or cut the four corners so that it looks like a circle). Now, write down some modes on the outside edge of the circle. Write down some that I mentioned (such as Sport, Eco, Snow, Mud, etc). Once you have your round (or rectangular) piece of paper with the various modes written on it, put it in whatever mode is near the middle. Now pick a mode that you’d like to switch to. Make it at least 2 spaces away so that it will be obvious what I’m talking about. Okay, so now you’ve chosen something that is two spaces to the right of where you are now. Use your hands to rotate the piece of paper so that the mode you want is on top. Note that you are moving the circle to the LEFT if you want something on the right. So your mind says, okay, this is easy, just rotate it to the left or right. However, if you were in an Explorer, you would be wrong. To get the circle to move left, you turn the knob right. And to get the circle to move right, you turn the knob left. It’s a bit difficult to explain this in writing, but if you just use a piece of paper as explained, it will become very clear when you see it. Why did Ford do this? I wish I knew.
