Behind the Badge: Exploring Ford Pro’s Police Vehicles

[@ryanwalters6184]

I wish more oems are this open and let their engineers come in like this. It is so awesome to see their design decisions and how much thought goes into each component.

[@markplott4820]

why , the LEGACY oems have NOTHING to show...........lol.

- the Cybertruck is the BENCHMARK.

[@ryanwalters6184]

@@markplott4820 learn some history. Henry Ford drove a Ford EV. In fact, that's the only vehicle his wife liked. 😂 That was like 100 years ago. There's nothing new under the Sun.

Watch savage geese. They talk to engineers and get this kind of info

[@boxherold1177]

After seeing the video on the Tesla police car I feel like you went back in time for this one. The fact that a police car needs to be idling constantly is bananas.

[@markplott4820]

the Tesla UPFIT off road Extreme, the PD Persuit & the Military UPFIT were all Fantastic. Unplugged Performance does the BEST Tesla UPFIT.

[@iShockin]

who cares, i dont understand why tesla people act so smug. just literally talk shit just to talk shit. some police departments are located in areas where there are no charging networks. plus the waiting time to charge so they cant take any emergencies. where as gas only takes a couple of mins. there is pros and cons to each ICE or EV automobiles and each department do studies to figure out which is better for them like where i live the closest charging station is over 150 miles away

[@markplott4820]

@@iShockin - FALSE , PD can install Level 2 very easily, get DISCOUNTS (free) chargers after rebate. vehicles can charge between shifts or on LUNCH break.

[@markplott4820]

@@iShockin - MOST PD have Ready access to 120v AC at minimum, some already have 240v AC for other uses.

As a retired Crown Vic user, the Fusion Responder Special Service was just as quick. I liked it a lot. And for what I did, it fit the bill. Too bad a sedan hybrid isn’t important enough for Ford. Can The Mach E operate 16 hours or 2 duty shifts? It would probably do better as a Chief’s car or maybe detective car. (My personal car is. 2019 Fusion Energi. I bought it because of the success we had with the Crown Vic and Fusions. We also had 4 trucks and 3 Explorers in the fleet. Very dependable units)

7:20 *Hard Buttons* are also useful for civilian vehicles, please stop telling manufacturers to remove them to save costs!

[@bradweinberger6907]

I don't think they save cost. Touch buttons are easier for designers to match their design

She really knew the product.

[@bradweinberger6907]

Ish. She kept saying 4a instead of just saying automatic. She sounds like she saying bullet points from a bog standard presentation

[@racingtogreen2023]

Same tonneau cover we have on ours, and came off our 2019 FX4. Gotta luv it just being another F150 with a battery.

[@mibli2935]

I came to say - thank you for the fabulous interviews you do with the engineers and managers of US car manufacturers. Shows the amount of work and design that goes into this. I very much doubt that this product can be overshined by any foreign manufacturer.

[@markplott4820]

Tesla UPFIT was Better. saw them @ Tesla Takeover.

[@cuencaview8303]

That Ford product has no respect to honor warranty. Deceptive ways.

[@WANDERER0070]

That was interesting ! Thnx

[@pinewaves72]

What they're now calling the "Police Engine Idle" feature that allows you to remove the key and keep the engine running was a standard feature Ford included on the 1986 Ford Taurus I had when I was a kid. Gotta love the Ford marketing team.

[@markplott4820]

Tesla UPFIT only needs RFID card , PD is in LOCKDOWN w/ Tech running.

[@markplott4820]

@@antoniopalmero4063 - HINT they also TESLA as unmarked & stakeout cars in PD.

[@grantlauzon5237]

I had a 1991 Mercury Sable and I am pretty sure that's just a poorly designed or worn out ignition system. I say this because my car did the same thing and it didn't feel like a planned feature. I could turn the engine off, put the car in auxiliary mode, pull the key out, and then turn the ignition to start the car.

[@iShockin]

wow this was really cool. ive always wanted to see the different features and utilities of police cars, very informative! hope you guys do more episodes like this one

[@MunroLive]

We’re glad you enjoyed it!

[@antoniopalmero4063]

All this equipment doesn’t sound cheap .

[@bradweinberger6907]

Likely not but they decontent it in some other ways. Plastic panel doors are likely cheaper then king ranch or platinum doors

Basing a police cruiser on a Tesla Cyberbeast is coming soon. Way to much money to be made for it to go unfulfilled.

[@JM-wd3dk]

They already showcased a police Cybertruck on this channel.

[@arcanondrum6543]

Ahh militarism. When I was a kid, "Andy Griffith" was on television. A show about a local Sheriff (no Police) that mostly worked alone, knew everyone in town... This woman keeps talking in terms of "danger for police". "Fear" people, "fear". That means war weapons and police "tools" will begin to blur together. What do countries with dictators have in common? Many poor people and strong military/enforcement within the country.

[@joebullwinkle5099]

I must admit that given the fuel cost of any Police vehicle would be a very large part of it’s full cycle life cost, that Ford have not at least started to design an EV version/equivalent of the current gas powered Explorer.

[@bradweinberger6907]

They showed the hybrid and said it saved 40%. Q

Low profile tires on a police car is dumb
