It’s the first factory-modified Explorer police vehicle to come from the Blue Oval, although there were aftermarket companies that modified prior-generation Explorers for law-enforcement duty. As with the civilian model, the standard engine is a 3.5-liter V-6; front- and all-wheel drive will be available. The engine can run on E85 and produces “at least” 280 hp; we can’t imagine it would make less than the regular SUV’s 290 hp and 255 lb-ft. Ford says the Explorer is at least 20 percent more fuel efficient than the outgoing Crown Victoria PI, which used a thirsty 4.6-liter V-8.
