2015 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor Utilit

This 2015 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor Utility is powered by a 3.7L Ti-VCT V6 that produces 304 horsepower and 279 lb-ft of torque, paired with Ford’s 6-speed automatic transmission. The Police Interceptor Utility was engineered from the factory for fleet and emergency use, and its standard hardware and calibration reflect that focus on durability, serviceability and pursuit-capable performance.

Powertrain and chassis
- 3.7L V6, 304 hp / 279 lb-ft mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission.
- Pursuit-oriented powertrain calibration and heavy-duty cooling package (upgraded radiator and auxiliary cooling components) to help control temperatures during extended high-load operation.
- All-wheel drive commonly used on Police Interceptor Utility models to improve traction in a range of conditions; drivetrain calibrations are tuned for responsive on-road performance.
- Police-tuned suspension with firmer springs and heavier-duty dampers, reinforced mounting points and upgraded sway bars for improved handling under loaded and high-speed conditions.
- Larger, high-capacity brake hardware with four-wheel ABS and electronic brake controls designed to resist fade under frequent heavy use.

Electrical and fleet equipment
- Factory provision for emergency equipment, including pre-wired auxiliary circuits and a dedicated accessory power connector in the engine bay and interior to simplify installation of lights, sirens and radios.
- Upgraded electrical capacity compared with civilian Explorers (higher-output alternator and heavy-duty wiring in many factory police configurations) to support aftermarket emergency gear.
- Multiple 12V power outlets and provisions for secure mounting of communications equipment and vehicle computers.

Interior and utility features
- Durable, service-friendly interior trim intended for fleet use: vinyl or easy-clean seating surfaces and washable rubberized flooring in many factory setups to facilitate cleaning and prisoner transport.
- Heavy-duty front seats with reinforced frames; factory-engineered mounting points for partitions and prisoner-containment systems.
- Large cargo and rear passenger area with tie-downs and a flat load floor layout for equipment storage or canine/utility modifications.
- Basic audio and convenience features appropriate to fleet vehicles: AM/FM audio with auxiliary input and power points; specific convenience items (Bluetooth SYNC, upgraded stereos, navigation) were available as factory options or dealer/fleet upfits.

Safety and driver aids
- Multiple airbags including front and side-curtain protection for front and rear occupants.
- Electronic Stability Control, traction control and four-wheel Anti-lock Braking System as standard safety systems calibrated for the Police Interceptor application.
- Structural reinforcements and crash-safety engineering consistent with Explorer architecture; many units include factory-available backup camera and other driver-aid options depending on original equipment level.

Factory policing packages for the 2015 Police Interceptor Utility emphasized pursuit durability, simplified serviceability and electrical readiness for emergency equipment. Many elements that departments require — heavy-duty cooling, upgraded brakes and suspension, electrical prep and an easy-to-clean interior — were included or made available from the factory to support agency installations and aftermarket upfits.
