The 2022 POLICE Ford Interceptor Can COOK Its Own Interior To Kill COVID *Weird Explorer*

Police cars are always interesting, they're modified versions of the cars sold to the public, but beefed up with better suspension and pre-wired for upfitting. This 2022 Ford Police Interceptor is no different, it's just a base model Ford Explorer but with options the public isn't offered. The end result is a very quirky SUV that has cool features while looking sparse. One of the coolest features is being able to enter a secret code with the cruise control buttons and having the vehicle cook it's own interior at 133* for 15 minutes, which is apparently enough to kill 99% of the novel coronavirus.

I sat in the back of one of these once... they gave me a ride to my house, it had the plastic seats 0/10 😂

First off you're lucky you got to go home. Every time I've sat in one it's to have gone to county jail(I deserved it most of the time though, I'll admit). They're plastic for a reason. Cops deal with a lot intoxicated people who can't control bodily functions.

[@GrandMoffJoseph]

Local PD guy where we used to live explained it this way: Basic keys like that are easy to replace, work on multiple vehicles in a pinch, and the lack of fancy remote start gizmos is one less way for the car to be broken into or tampered with. Also, the column shifter is made necessary by the laptop and other electronics that normally take up the whole center console area. (and on a side note, he said, the column shifter is easier to use when making evasive reverse-to-forward spins)

The numbered buttons on the steering wheel are upfitter switches that provide a 12v(-) latched output for triggering lights, sirens, etc. Depending on the upfit package, If you pull the lower center console panels there are 2 upfitter plugs that provide wiring through the vehicle for additional equipment. Also, if it has dealer optioned lighting in the vehicle, there is usually a Whelen siren controler under the flip up panel behind the just behind the rear seats.

[@SteeringWheelHolder1]

The cars always ship from the factory with vinyl rear seats. During upfitting, those seats are yanked out and replaced with the plastic bench. Most Police departments have TONS of rear seats laying around lol.

@WatchJRGo the standard military vehicle literally has no keys. It's a turn switch and a simple but easy to learn start procedure depending on vehicle. They rely on security through obscurity (what's this key to I wonder) if lost, and security through force if someone malicious comes along. In both cases, it makes more sense to let ANY cop/soldier operate it if needed, than to bother to "protect the protectors"

All the cops here use those, they must love them. Our police used crown vics and Chargers for a short period and now mostly use the Ford suv thing. I wonder if they're quicker than the crown vic or the Chargers. I talked to a officer here at a auto show years ago when they got the first batch of Chargers in and he liked the Crown Vic better because the interior had more room for them. They probably like the suv thing for the same reason, lotsa room for everything they might need and a awd option.

[@bara2ban]

#WatchJGo you *missed* a few more details. *1. KEY* - A lot of departments have the same key for the whole fleet, that started years ago. If an officer looses a key, they still got GPS in the vehicle so smart carjacker will never even think of jacking a police vehicle. *2. Column shifter* - not for looks or esthetics. It's purely for available space in the center console. Just like someone mentioned for a computer, radios and siren/lights controller. *3.* ❄ - is a winter driving mode. And the *Surveillance Mode* option is not included, because the button to activate it would be right next to the snowflake. It would sound an alarm if anyone is approaching and roll up windows. *4. 1,2,3,4 buttons* - on the steering wheel are wired to activate one of 4 relays that department can hook it up to any option they want(change siren, sound air horn, activate different light/siren mode). *5. Police Idle* - This one is missing it but most of them have it. A button with a police badge right next to the light switch. You can press it while engine is running, put in *P* and pull the key out of the ignition and it will still run until you put the key back into ignition and turn it ON. So they can keep all of the equipment running and no risk of anyone driving off in it. *And a few other things that regular Explorer doesn't have.*

[@seanwieland9763]

Carpet floors are dumb for everyone. You end up buying the slush mats anyway. Wish more manufacturers would use rubber floors in consumer cars from factory like cop cars have.

[@AkioWasRight]

Carpeting has better sound and thermal insulation. Also, vinyl flooring can actually wear faster than carpeting. If you've owned or driven long-term fleet vehicles, you'll know the vinyl dries out and tears up as it ages. Another thing, they lose their texture and become slippery as they age. Carpeting actually last longer, because it breaths. The only reasons fleet buyers want vinyl is because it's cheaper and it's stain resistant. If you spill something nasty all over your carpet, it's in it forever. If you spill on vinyl, it usually wipes right up.

[@mikelafata1680]

I’ve been driving these for awhile now. While the newer ones(2021’s) drive just fine, I prefer the older 2015’s and 2016’s that are still in our fleet. They just feel better when your in them for 12 hours. The best part of our 2021’s is that they put factory installed LED light package so no light bar on top was needed. You are right though, they are built very well and have very few issues outside normal maintenance.

[@skylartaggart]

If you press the “low” button a blue police car light will appear on the dash showing that you’re in “pursuit” mode which is essentially different shift points over standard.

[@2013hwcamaro]

The key needs to be separate from the remote so the officer can leave the key in the ignition (engine on to run the electronics) when they exit the unit and lock the doors. That wouldn't be possible if the key and remote were combined. Before remotes were available, patrol cars (probably all American cars) had 2 keys; round for doors, square for ignition, that was to leave car running to power the radio when they leave their unit and lock the doors for whatever call they were on. Not all officers would lock their doors but all would leave their engines running. That's the story of how I "borrowed" a police car once in my younger days.

[@jorgejefferson8251]

Most police vehicles are for fleet use, which means multiple operators. Remote key fobs are expensive to replace if lost or damaged, and non chipped keys are cheap to make. Most of the center console area in police vehicles is taken up by equipment, hence the use of a column shift, plus the column shift knob has been used on police vehicles since car makers started equipping police vehicles with automatic transmissions and before that manual transmissions were probably column shift also, so muscle memory plays a part. If you have ever tried to quickly shift a console shifter into gear, mistakes are easy to make and a column shifter is much easier to shift into and out of gear quickly and holds up to constant use much better.

Back around 2017 or 18 police officers around the country started complaining about an odor in the car and it was making them extremely sick. It had gotten so bad that almost all police departments had to park the explorer claimed it was unsafe for use. Of course Ford could not have this so they immediately brought some of the cars that had made the officer too sick to stay in the car. What Ford had found out was that the third party who takes the vehicles from Ford and turns them into police vehicles were at fault for what was happening. There's a lot of wires that go into police vehicles. You have the emergency lights there's a different wire harness for the tail lights things such as this. The company that was doing the work were drilling their holes right where the exhaust was. So the cars were filling up with carbon monoxide and it was a miracle no one died from this. With this information they sent people around the country to seal the whole. After this was completed all the vehicles went back into service and nobody was getting sick again.

Well the simple single old key answer is. Many city police depts order the new units keyed alike. Ford and other manufacturers normally let the dept carry the same key code year to year.

I saw a whole fleet of them on a truck this morning only reason I knew it was was the rims.

Bro, I got the same Ultra HD garage cabinets lol

Fleet keys....there are 4 different ones I think...most departments key all the vehicles with the same key

My City just spent 12 million dollars to buy Chargers and Durango RT's in addition to their Taurus's and Tahoes for K9 units. We're a real city with a real budget for equipment

He's smiling because that property value just went up up up!

[@maxice01]

The very basic key style is for fleet keys as some municipality use universal keys between vehicles

You guys are lucky your cop cars are as nice as this, in South Africa some of these cop cars are over 15+ years old and some have only one functioning headlight or has to be pushed to start.😅

If it had the new Ford remote the cop would have to add a pouch to his/her belt to carry the dang thing.

[@Lions7.62mm]

I wonder if they still use the same cut on each key like they use to.... And same with most cab companies when they were using Ford products, every cab had identical keys LoL

[@alexp6016]

Wow, that predates the PATS keys!
