Police departments for America dey change their style for patrol cars. Some still dey use Dodge Chargers, Ford Explorers, and even old Chevy Caprice PPV. But now, pickup trucks don join the matter.
Ram don introduce their new Ram 2500 Emergency Response Vehicle. Dem dey call am America first pursuit-rated heavy-duty pickup truck wey fit chase motor. This one na serious change from the normal patrol cars wey we dey see.
For speed matter, the highest top speed wey dem don test for police vehicle na 148mph. But some old reports dey show say 2002 Chevrolet Camaro B4C fit reach 159mph, and even 2004 Saab 9-5s for Aspen Police Department fit do 155mph. That Australian Caprice PPV wey dem only sell to police departments too suppose reach 155mph.
For different states, the style dey differ. For Florida, plenty police dey use F-150 trucks, but Ford Explorers still dey control majority for local, county, and state police. Some counties still get few Ford Taurus wey dey roam, while state troopers dey switch from Chargers to more Ford vehicles.
Arizona state police don even take pickup trucks as their most common patrol vehicles. But dem still get stealth Mustangs and Chargers wey dey hide for road. For commercial truck enforcement, police dey use Yukons mostly.
The discussion about police vehicles don bring other motor matters. People dey talk about how Genesis GV60 Magma dey simulate 9,000 RPM V6 engine sound instead of V8 or V12. Volkswagen matter don come up too, with suggestions say dem make new affordable Beetle with simple engineering and manual option.
But the main gist remain say police departments dey expand their fleet to include heavy-duty pickup trucks like Ram 2500. This one mean say if you dey drive for America road now, the police wey go stop you fit dey inside pickup truck, not just the usual patrol car.
