I agree, it's also been confirmed that the NYPD will be using the Taurus: http://articles.nyda...res-bank-robber That's going to be alot of maintaining.

Here is a offroad video:

I can't believe that it won against a Tahoe. Maybe if they didn't floor the Tahoe right away, and put on 2 wheel drive it wouldn't have got stuck.

This is by no means directed at the poster above (my argument is with the concept of the comparison between vehicles), but that is about the stupidest video I've seen in a long time. You simply can't compare all wheel drive with rear wheel drive vehicles when it comes to a loose surface such as the one used in the video. Obviously the all wheel drive vehicles are going to perform better on that specific surface.

What the video fails to mention is the countless number of years of vehicle use in law enforcement that proves front wheel drive and usually all wheel drive cannot handle the stress put on the transmission and the vehicle with law enforcement use.

If this video had been a comparison of top speed it would be like comparing a Ferrari to a golf cart.

I agree with you, and the funny part is that the video is official, meaning that it's from Ford. That's why I found the video stupid myself, there are 4 or more episodes if you want to have a laugh.

At the video above:

To be fair, the AWD Tahoe is not Pursuit rated.

You know its funny, the same arguement was made when Chevy decided to stop selling the 9C1 Caprice back in the 90s, alot of cops were not happy to go to the CVPI. Now it seems alot of cops are upset to lose the CVPI (although alot of them are wishing for the charger lol ) Older cops still talk about how great the Caprice was, I guess in 10 years the older cops then will be telling the same tale about the CVPI

I cant see removing the Crown Vic. I love it to death. That is my dream car to drive in my local Sheriff. I hope they don't remove it. From the sound of it though, i doubt they will. I just don't like the Taurus. I think the design is just strange and seems a bit boxy. It's not practical in my eyes. But it does seem like it will improve

The Crown Vic was boxy, and I loved it.
