It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before the catalytic converter so it'll run good on regular gas.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Do cops even drive crown vics anymore? I don't even see crown vic taxis now.

They do in poorer areas- my local county sherrif only had the budget for two new dodge Durangos in the last 4 years, the rest of the force drive crown vics with junkyard engine swaps to keep them going past 300k miles.

The iconic police Crown Vic model was discontinued like a decade ago. Like 80% of police cars I see nowadays are SUV's.

On March 12, 2010, Ford Motor Company unveiled the Ford Police Interceptor Sedan. While sharing a nameplate with the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, the Police Interceptor Sedan was a variant of the sixth-generation Ford Taurus, shifting from the long-running Panther chassis to an all-wheel drive version of the D3 architecture.[29]

In a design decision, the Police Interceptor Sedan did not adopt the Taurus nameplate, as it was sold alongside the Ford Police Interceptor Utility, derived from the Ford Explorer. Along with heavier-duty components and a redesigned interior, the Police Interceptor Sedan adopted higher-performance steering and suspension tuning. The standard engine was a 3.5-L V6, but a 3.7-L V6 (shared with the Mustang) later became the standard power plant. A twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 (shared with the Taurus SHO) was also available as an option.[30]

The Ford Police Interceptor Sedan was discontinued alongside the North American Ford Taurus model on March 1, 2019.[31] The Ford Police Interceptor Utility remains in production as of 2022 as Ford's main police vehicle, sharing its design with the civilian market Ford Explorer.[32]

Like 80% of police cars I see nowadays are SUV’s.

And the other 20% or so is Dodge Chargers.

Actually I kinda want to get one of the ex-police Chargers at auction because I'd never spend that much on a sporty car, but I feel like that would be fun, even if it only lasts a couple of years. For less than 6-8k you can certainly do worse!

Anyone driving a black or white ford explorer is worry some. The tell is the antennas. Cop cars have big antennas on the roof that normal cars don't have.

Also just having a new explorer is enough, my parents got a new explorer a few years ago and one time I was driving them somewhere and got into the carpool lane, then I noticed everyone in front just kept getting out of the way and I realized they all thought we were cops

And the wheels. I get the homage nod to the past, but that big shiny hubcap is a huge tell that isn’t offered on the non-police models.

Murdered out police insignia and shorty antennas only go so far when you floating on that chrome

Antennas, that cage on the front bumper, black on black lettering, and no hub caps around my neck of the woods.

Mostly SUVs and Chargers.

Doesn't even matter which four-door sedan you drive.

Just take off your hubcaps, add a guard on your front grill, and suddenly everyone lets you pass then.

Don't forget the driver side mounted light
