During the 2013 production year Ford created the Ford Police Interceptor Utility as a commercial police vehicle to meet demands of law enforcement units requiring larger vehicles. A 3.7L Cyclone V6 engine in the Police Interceptor Utility produces 304 horsepower to provide effective police capabilities. The engine exists as a version of the Ford Explorer platform yet it operates independently from the Ford Mustang powertrain systems. Ford added the 3.5L twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 engine to its product line in 2014 which delivered 365 horsepower as well asa 350 lb-ft of torque. The AWD configuration was the only option which received this engine allowing it to deliver improved performance characteristics. Each Ford Police Interceptor Utility edition operates with the 6F six-speed automatic transmission created by Ford which delivers reliable performance. Permanent torque vectoring technology in the Police Interceptor Utility ensures exceptional performance capabilities alongside exceptional stability during challenging driving environments. The Ford Police Interceptor Utility distinguishes itself through its black hood and black steel wheels and dedicated police updates that consist of a rear bumper designed to reduce speed. The Ford Police Interceptor Utility features shifting controls located on columns together with steering wheel controls and calibrated speedometers which make it better suited for police duties. The model does not include the third-row seat to optimize its cargo capacity. The specialized combination of design and engineering for functionality and durability in the Ford Police Interceptor Utility attracts police organizations who maintain future reliability through authentic parts purchases.
