The next time you get pulled over, it could be by Ford’s new electric police trucks that are beginning to hit the streets across the US. Ford unveiled the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro Special Service Vehicles (SSV) last summer, calling it “America’s first electric pickup truck purpose-built for police.”
The Ford F-150 Lightning Pro SSV packs the performance needed to complete the job with 452 hp, 775 lb-ft of torque, a 7,700 lb towing capacity, and a maximum payload of 2,235 lb with the standard battery. Municipals can also opt for the extended-range battery with 580 hp, 775 lb-ft torque, 10,000 lb towing capacity, and a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in under four seconds.
