    MORE FORD POLICE INTERCEPTOR UTILITY ORDERS BEING CANCELLED

    Maybe I can sell mine to an agency and make a profit...

    Wigwag for 2020 Ford Explorer XLT

    They can, but you would still need a headlight flasher unit as well as a switch box of some sort. Are you looking to only have wigwag function or flashback and other emergency lighting as well?

    Steeda SSV Explorer Interceptor Debuts As Beefed Up Patrol Vehicle

    I assume they're including the Whipple Stage I kit which gives a claimed 60hp and 120lb/ft increase. It's available by itself here: https://www.steeda.com/whipple-explorer-st-stage-1-package#/filter:ss_ymm:Explorer$253E2020

    Gas to use in ST

    I'm thinking of using hydrazine. Might be cheaper nowadays.

    Gas Mileage in 2020+ Explorer

    My 2021 PIU with the 3.0 400hp TT gets around 15-16mpg in town and at the very most 21mpg on the freeway. PIUs don't have driving mode selection and, of course, being in Florida, the A/C is on whenever ignition is on. :)

    Red interior lights instead of White

    2. Affirmative. 3. I don't see why you couldn't. Also, you can probably upgrade your stock red lights also. In my opinion, the stock red lights are just awful, they're way too dim. The dual-color "ticket light" on my 2017 was much better.

    PIU With Rear door disable - also disabled the lift gate!?

    Very nice! My previous one was a Kodiak Brown 2017 purchased from Griffin Ford.

    PIU With Rear door disable - also disabled the lift gate!?

    Negatory, Ready for The Road is specifically NOT available with the Admin Package (better known as Interior Upgrade Package). Interior Upgrade Package gives you essentially a civilian interior with a full console, carpet floor and floor mats, whereas ready for the road gives you a slew of...

    Towing with PIU?

    That's odd. Does the fuse box show evidence of being tempered with? For that matter, are the wires in the back intact? Actually, is the harness even back there? Some units were shipped with the harness included separately in a plastic bag either in the glove box or the little cubby in the...

    PIU With Rear door disable - also disabled the lift gate!?

    What do you have up there instead of the button? I have remote entry AS WELL AS that button on my '21.

    Towing with PIU?

    So, a couple things: 1. PIU actually doesn't offer Option 52T Trailer Tow package, only civilian models do. We do get the hitch and the plugs but basically nothing else. 2. The plugs don't get "hot" until a trailer actually gets connected, hence the "cold" plugs now. There is no towing...

    2016-18 Explorer PIU Key Fob Programming

    The manual says a lot of things, Peter, especially since (I presume) you're talking about civilian models which use an entirely different remote. I say our friend has nothing to lose by trying.

    2021 PIU engine pinging

    Try switching gas stations.

    H Rated Tires on Platinum OK?

    I agree with you on the tires, but my police vehicle enthusiast OCD is forcing me to point out that the '86 was a P72. P71 first appeared in 1993.

    2022 Ford Explorer dome light fuse

    I would start by checking ALL fuses. Just because something is marked as being responsible for X doesn't necessarily mean it's not ALSO responsible for Y.

    2022 Ford Explorer dome light fuse

    Do civilian models have "dark mode"? The symptoms certainly sound like it.

    Autostop eliminator

    Better yet, get the only Explorer version that does NOT come with ASS. I did.

    Autostop eliminator

    This is true. My marriage was but one example.

    Euro Explorer

    Came across a Swedish-market ST at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm last night. Notice how the VIN shows it to be a product of Ford of Germany even though it's built in Chicago.

    How to: Adding Liftgate Lighting

    The lights themselves have two switches each, one of white, one for red. I'm actually thinking of putting these on mine as well.

    Little over 8,000 in just under a year.
