The first electric pickup designed for police duty is ready for service.
Electric police vehicles aren't new, but the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro SSV revealed on Thursday is the first time we've seen an electric pickup truck sign up for duty., and forms part of Ford's own SSV program that equips regular Ford vehicles with the basic equipment needed for police services and other law enforcement agencies. The regular F-150 is already part of the program, along with the Expedition SUV and Transit van.
The vehicle also comes with all of the features of the F-150 Lightning Pro on which it is based, including 12-inch screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment hub, a frunk with power outlets, and a dual-motor electric drive system rated at 452 hp and 775 lb-ft of torque with the standard battery and 580 hp and 775 lb-ft with the extended-range battery. The latter means 0-60 mph acceleration in less than four seconds, making this the quickest police vehicle offered by Ford.
