Ford police vehicles have held a substantial slice of that market for many years now, which is notable amid the shift away from sedans and toward SUVs – not to mention increasing competition from other OEMs. Despite all of this, Ford police vehicles continue to hang on to that market share, and an expanding lineup of those types of models hasn’t exactly hurt the cause, either. Rather, in recent months, Blue Oval police cruisers have instead managed to gain ground in that segment.
According to The Blue Oval’s Q3 2025 sales report, Ford police vehicles closed out the last quarter with a dominant 60.6 percent share of the segment, which is 9.6 points higher, year-over-year. It’s an impressive yet perhaps not too terribly surprising statistic given Ford’s long, successful track record in the police vehicle market, much of which has been driven by continued interest in the Ford Explorer based Police Interceptor Utility.
Along with the civilian Explorer, the Police Interceptor Utility was also just treated to a mid-cycle refresh for the 2025 model year, though it features the older model’s front fascia instead of the updated one present on regular SUVs. Unlike the regular Explorer, the 2025 Ford Police Interceptor is still available with the 3.3L V6 hybrid powertrain, however. It also gets some nifty law enforcement features such as Ford Pro Vehicle Integration System 2.0, Police Perimeter Alert, Police Engine Idle, Police Dark Car, and Manual Police Pursuit Mode.
Additionally, the 2025 Ford Expedition SSV just debuted last December, bearing many of the same updates as the redesigned – and incredibly popular – civilian version. It’s offered as a two-row SUV with vinyl floors, cloth seats, and a number of power points throughout, while those desiring more space can opt for the three-row Expedition Max SSV. Like the Police Interceptor Utility, it also gets nifty features like Dark Car and Police Accessory Independent Timed-Release Output (PAITRO).

If Ford would make the 5.0 V-8 available in the Expedition, not only would it boost civilian sales but Police use.
Doubt will ever see that, since they do not even offer it in the civilian versions. Now, the F150 Police Pursuit Truck should offer it though!
I've had area departments tell me they're not happy with the current generation of Interceptor Utility. One of the issues to me is the engine lineup and pricing structure. The "base" engine 3.3+hybrid system might appeal to some departments. So far zero in my market (middle WI). The up-engine option to the 3.0 EcoBoost adds $950 in 2025, but an eye watering $2850 to the 2026. The "down-engine" is the 3.3 V6 that used to gain a $2300 credit, but now is flat. No increase or decrease for the engine that caused one department near me to tell me a bicycle can outrun them. Meanwhile, the Durango is slightly lower priced, and offers their 3.6 V6 base engine or the 5.7 V8 Hemi.
