Ford is extending a hand to the men in blue with their dedicated F-150 pickups which have been specially tailored for use by the police and fire services using the Special Service Vehicle (SSV) Package.
The vehicles are available both as F-150 Supercab and Supercrew configurations, in two- or all-wheel drive and powered by Ford’s trusty 5.0-liter 360 horsepower V8 or the 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6.

The SSV Package a 220-amp heavy-duty alternator, a rugged interior, no center console and full-width second-row seats. You can also specify 4x4 skid plates or heavy-duty tires if the going gets tough where you’re heading.

"Our fleet customers have been asking us to create this option for F-Series trucks," said Ford Government [sic…] Sales Manager Tony Gratson. "We’re confident the current and updated 2013 F-150 equipped with the SSV Package will be of particular interest to our government customers with rugged jobs such as law enforcement, firefighting, and national and state park patrols.”
