police intercepter?
My buddy just bought a 97' ford f-150 2wd. Well under the f-150 badges on the fender and tailgate it has two badges one says SVT and the other says police intercepter. I personally have never heard of this "edition" of f-150. Has anyone ever heard of this? I have not driven the truck I just walked all around it and looked underneath it but I did not see anything special about this truck. It has regular f-150 cast aluminum wheels on it too......But being an SVT It should have SVT wheels right?
Thanks ahead of time for your reply's

Yup. I got the police badge on my tailgate. Mostly just to see who scratches their head and says "huh?!?" With 4.56 gears I'm not running anyone down.
The state patrol here, their carrier enforcement division actually uses super duties regularly, and there's nothing different about them at all. Those guys just need to be able to carry enough gear to stop a rig on the side of the interstate, put the bags under it, and weigh it.
No F150 that I know of though . . .
Sideline, several years ago, while I was still a military cop, we got a bunch of Chevy Tahoes in which had a 6 something diesel in them. These were the smaller version than the current tahoes. They didnt have any badging to indicate being different, but they did have a couple of oddities which I wondered how we got since I dont think they made them that way for anyone else. For one, you could just tap the emergency brake, not actually engage the brakes, but it'd kill every light in the whole ride. The theory was you could sneak up easier, but with a diesel, I never put a lot of stock in it. It was such a light vehicle it sure had some giddiup to it though.

Our local sheriffs dept bought 2 F150s, not lightenings, just regular 5.4s in them but they have had something done to them from Ford because the speed limiters are WAY higher than a standard F150, and I know for a fact the dept didn't do anything like add a tuner. They are some kind of PI package, next time I go over to one of the deputies house's I will have to look and see if it has that badge on it or not.

if he got a F150 PI, he was very lucky. they are not supposed to be sold to the general public. i have seen 3 over the past 2 days, 2 on the turnpike, and 1 locally.
i asked about them at headquarters today, and was told yes, they are out there, but no, we are not going to get any rite now.

Maybe he just has the badge? I have a PI badge on my computer moniter, as mentioned you can buy them at the dealer. I saw a sheriff Lightning at the courthouse the outer day though, I wonder what kind of senority do you need to move up that car ride; cause usually instead of the Crown Vics I see them in Tahoes.
