Differences in frame and body from civilian Explorer?

[Thomaswill1]

I have a 2017 Police Interceptor Utility and I unfortunately was involved in a accident which left the front end destroyed. Now, I'm trying to repair my car and I'm looking for a donor car. Everything powertrain and suspension related I am looking to get new, so I'm not worried about that. I mainly want it for the body and frame/subframe. Can I use an Explorer as my donor car or do I have to buy another Police Interceptor Utility?

I know it's not the best idea financially, but I don't really mind that. I'm not getting rid of it and I'm not getting a new one. I want my car back.
Also, if anyone has any diagrams (for anything really) please share them. I'm trying to get this car to the best shape it can be.
Thank you!

The X brace in the rear interior for the rear crash rating is the only body/subframe difference from the civilian and PIU that I’m aware of.

There is no "frame". There's a subframe for the engine/trans/front suspension, and possibly another tiny one for the rear, but nothing like the frames on older vehicles.

Perfect, this works for me then. Time to find a donor car.

Since it was a front-end collision, make sure that there wasn't damage to the subframe. These vehicles are unibody, not body on frame.
