Lot SR20210203: 2016 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor

The 2016 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor Utility packs some serious performance upgrades over the standard civilian Explorer! Here’s what makes it special:

Power & Performance:

• Police Interceptor: 3.7L V6 with 304 hp and 279 lb-ft torque
• Standard Explorer: 3.5L V6 with 290 hp and 255 lb-ft torque
• The Police Interceptor gets a more aggressive engine calibration and higher top speed (137 mph vs 112-115 mph governed)

Heavy-Duty Hardware:

• Much larger Brembo brakes (13.85” front vs 12.8” standard) for better stopping power
• Police-tuned suspension with stiffer springs and sway bars for better handling
• Heavy-duty cooling system with high-capacity radiator and transmission cooler
• 220-amp alternator vs 150-amp standard, plus dual battery capability for all the police equipment

Durability Upgrades:

• Steel wheels instead of aluminum for better abuse tolerance
• Limited-slip differential with 3.65:1 ratio vs 3.39:1 standard
• All components are pursuit-rated for sustained high-speed operation

The Police Interceptor is essentially built for 24/7 duty cycles and high-speed pursuits, while the standard Explorer prioritizes comfort and fuel economy. Think of it as the difference between a police tactical vest and a regular jacket - both do the job, but one’s built for serious action!
