Whats weird about this is the Oregon State Police just about refuse to drive anything but the Crown Vic. Many have had terrible rear end slams by drunks hitting them after they pulled another driver over. They walked away or survived terrible rear ends. Maybe Ford has changed the mounting.

Years ago our town bought a couple of the big Impalas for the cops, and no one on the force wanted to drive nor ride in them.

A lot of guys who are state parole officers and fed type cops are doing everything they can to keep their big Broncos and not trade them in for another SUV. I've had 3 people rear end my big Bronco. They were towed away, and I had a little bumper torking and had to have Midas re align my exhaust pipe.

The Sonoma Deputy sheriffs who patrol coastal highway one prefer the Bronco or the Ford Expedition. They have to have 4 wheel drive.

We were thinking about getting the Mercury Marquis, but now we will wait until this is resolved.
