Ford F-150 police cars already exist, but with the 2021 Ford F-150, the car manufacturer will offer fleet buyers a hybrid power option.
Cars Direct made an initial report wednesday on broker order guides for the new F-150 and highlighted some of the top express features on the list. However, an attractive piece is the “Special Service Vehicle” option. For $50, Ford will remove the middle seat, install a vinyl seat at the back and load a 240 amp alternator. And while available with the 5.0-litre, 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6, the new 3.5-litre PowerBoost Hybrid V6 is also on the menu (with the corresponding price). The V6 biturbo pairs with a single electric motor and battery to increase power and charge power.
Therefore, it is quite suitable for F-150 hybrid police vans, although this package is not limited to being used by law enforcement.
This next package comes just after national talks on police reform following the murder of George Floyd last May. In fact, before this month, Ford’s staff asked the company to avoid the construction of police cars. Chief executive Jim Hackett rejected the idea, but said the company’s close ties to law enforcement “offer Ford an even greater opportunity not only to innovate new solutions, but also to leverage our unique position for the discussion and reform needed to create safer communities for all. . “
We’ll see the F-150 2021 reach dealerships later this year.
