Ford Ranger Special Edition for US Police
Ford is one of the most popular suppliers of police vehicles, particularly in the United States. The local police force has been equipped with models like the F-150, Explorer, Expedition, Transit, and even the Ford Mustang Mach-E for testing purposes.
Expanding its reach beyond the US, Ford has recently introduced a police configuration for the Ranger pickup truck, targeting international markets as well. This special edition, called the Ford Ranger Police, is now available for purchase through the company’s global sales network.
Enhanced Features for Police Use
The special edition comes with several notable upgrades compared to the regular commercial version. The most prominent feature is a large front steel bullbar. It also includes a three-color LED light bar mounted on the roof and essential police equipment such as priority lights and a siren.
Chrome decorative trims are removed on this edition. Instead, the Ford Ranger Police sports black steel wheels and all-terrain tires. Other details, like the exterior mirrors and door handles, remain unpainted. Standard law enforcement equipment includes a gas mask, GPS tracking device, fire extinguisher, and fuel reserve.
In order to optimize ground clearance for challenging terrains, side steps have been removed from the vehicle. The suspension system has been reinforced to handle heavy loads.
Braking systems, cooling systems, and power generators have all been upgraded to meet heavy-duty vehicle standards. However, Ford hasn’t disclosed the type of engine used in the Ford Ranger Police.
There is a possibility that this special edition is equipped with the new Euro 6 emissions standard compliant EcoBlue 2.0-liter diesel engine. It can deliver a maximum power output of 237 horsepower and a torque of 339 Nm. Ford also claims that the new engine offers a 10% improvement in fuel efficiency compared to the previous engines.
