Source: FordSource: FordFrom Fox Body Mustangs to Crown Vics, a Ford in your rearview mirror has long been the scariest sight in the eyes of road-goers around the nation.As the preference for sedans evolved into that for SUVs, the Explorer eventually became the vehicle of choice (or mandate) for police officers, and now the Expedition is getting its time in the patrol spotlight following the success of the F-150.Source: FordSource: FordAdvertisementAdvertisementIt's counterintuitive, but speeders beware: The new Expedition Police Responder is here. It has a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 producing 400 horsepower and 480 lb.-ft. of torque, and standard four-wheel drive. That means it's reasonably quick, and can also go off-tarmac to chase down assumed offenders. Ford says the new truck is "built for pursuit and designed for duty."Getting to the technical side of things, the Expedition cruiser also has Ford's 10-speed automatic (with SelectShift capability), a 3.73 Mustang-esque final drive ratio, an electronically locking rear differential, a torque-on-demand transfer case, and heavy-duty brakes.Source: FordSource: FordFord also swaps the dial-shifter for a column-shifter, and Goodyear Eagle Enforcer all-season tires are wrapped around 18-inch wheels. Police Dark Car, Police Engine Idle, and Police Perimeter Alert (all of those sound properly scary to us non-cops) are also standard.AdvertisementAdvertisementWe doubt it would hold a candle to Sheriff Buford T. Justice's 1977 Pontiac LeMans sedan (that's a joke, for the record), but it has some real goods on board.Source: FordSource: FordFord says it's building on "75 years of working with law enforcement customers" with this latest Expedition Police Responder, and anyone who has spent time behind the wheel on America's roads knows Ford is a big part of the nation's police operations.This new Expedition isn't so much Super Troopers as it is Dirty Harry, but that's neither here nor there. Long story short, look out for the 2028 Expedition Police Responder to come to a district near you-and if you see it in your rearview mirror, maybe consider pulling over rather than running.Become an AutoGuide insider.
