- 2020 Police Utility
Greetings from California....
Land of so much bureaucracy when it comes to emissions.
I am looking at a 2013 Police Utility that was damaged pre delivery and repaired - now being sold. It does not have Option 422 - CA emissions, so unless it had 7500 miles on it BEFORE it enters the state, I cannot buy it.
I noticed in the 2013 / 2014 order guide, that a fleet customer could order a Police Utility, without CA Emissions - as long as it was going into service for a public agency
If not, you must order it with 422 which seems to DELETE the Flex Fuel Vehicle (FFV) option.
So: Questions for the forum:
1. What modifications comprise option 422?! Programming? Parts? Equipment?
2. If I could answer #1 , can I then retrofit a non option 422 Utility to have option 422?
3. What kind of performance differences are there between a non FFV 3.7L V6 Ti-VCT Utility and a FFV Utility?
3. Is an Option 422 car REALLY not able to use Corn gas or do they just SAY that to discourage us from using the evil corn elixir in the People's Republic of CA?
Thanks for reading!
