Ford adds the 2018 Expedition to its police lineup



Civilians won't be the only ones who can get a new aluminum Expedition. Soon law enforcement agencies around the country will also have the opportunity to add it to their fleets. The new version is now available for police who want lots of secure all-weather storage. For police duty, the SUV gets Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 coupled to a 10-speed automatic. Power then goes from that transmission to an electronic limited-slip differential with a 3.73 gear ratio.

The F-150 range is also updated. The same 5.0-liter V8 and 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine options remain, but they're now coupled to the 10-speed auto. The F-150 and Expedition also now feature engine stop-start functionality for improved gas mileage. The pickups are still available in extended cab and quad cab configurations with either two or four full doors.

Naturally, being police vehicles, both Expedition and F-150 feature vinyl upholstery and flooring in the rear for easy clean-up. They're also fitted with more potent 240-amp alternators to handle all of the electronic accessories police vehicles require.
