Pursuit Truck
Having been derived from the FX-4 off-road version of the 2018 F-150, our men and women in blue can rest assured they can make roads out of any apparent obstacle. But just how does the F-150 compare to its police pursuit vehicle counterparts? Well, considering the 375HP and 471 lb-ft of torque that the turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 can produce, it is safe to say the police truck does just fine in high-speed pursuits.

It Does Everything
As with any police-spec vehicle, Ford has ramped up the performance just a tad bit for the needs of our Police officers. It is specially performance-rated to handle chases of well over 100mph with ease. And as for rough terrain travel, it is equipped with underbody skid plates.

Pure Practicality
One can expect the regular upgrades from the stock model that are usually seen in police vehicles including enhanced braking, improved handling, and all-terrain vehicles. In addition, the SuperCrew body style of the truck makes it the most spacious of any other police vehicle. Ample cargo room and the superb towing capacity of 7000 lbs certainly don't hurt either.

For the Good Guys, and the Bad Guys
The cop truck is equipped with everything the officers need in the front of the cabin. A high output 240 amp alternator is put in place to provide power for the equipment onboard. In the rear, the seats, as well as the floor, are made of vinyl for the purpose of easy cleanup.
