In order to better meet the variety of growing needs of various law enforcement agencies, Ford Motor Company recently announced that it is making its configurable Special Service Vehicle package available for the 2016 F-150.
The F-150 Special Service Vehicle is available in a choice of 4x4 or 4x2 drivetrains, and can be powered by either a 5.0-liter V-8 or a high-torque 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine. In the cabin, standard 40/20/40 seats are replaced with a 40/blank/40 configuration to allow for more space customization. Vinyl flooring and seating make cleanups much easier, and a high-output 240-amp alternator replaces the stock unit to accommodate for extended idle times.
“We offer a whole family of police vehicles,” said Arie Groeneveld, Ford chief program engineer for police vehicles. “Our lineup aims to fulfill the unique needs of law enforcement officers, and our F-150 Special Service Vehicle is an extension of that offering. This vehicle definitely lives up to its Built Ford Tough reputation.”
