Steeda Police Interceptor

The police interceptor handles pretty good for a SUV already this should catch the eye of the departments that actually chase the bad guys.

In reading this article 2 things surprised me. First no word of what the performance upgrade amounted to HP wise. Second was the picture of the rear sway bar. It doesn't look like they did any thing to address the missing bolt for the rear end.

Nice catch! Maybe not really a big deal after all?

Agreed. Just pointing out that Ford is not making special exceptions for the police version that was speculated somewhere in the 5,000 posts regarding bolt fracture.

It maybe a stock photo of the rollbar from another Explorer and not that police interceptor. I know my departments one and only 2020 PI has all the bolts. Then again it could be

Exactly.

From a safety standpoint, it's not about who pays for the repair, it's about the potential danger of something breaking while on a pursuit.

"5,000 posts" Lol

But the 3.3L PIU's are getting the bushing and axle cover replaced.

My '17 PPV with the 3.5 EB is set to be retired soon and replaced by what I am hoping will be a '23 with the 3.0 EB, rather than a Dodge Durango/Hemi. I love the looks/power/handling of my ST, although I did add the Whipple/ZFG/Steeda sway-bar/H&R springs. I do not think DHS uses Steeda for the PPV up-fit, but it would be pretty cool, especially with the tune installed as well.
