One such vehicle has been put into service last week by the Claremont, New Hampshire police department.
As a reminder, the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro SSV features several modifications that allow it to be used as a police vehicle. On the outside, those include the obvious police livery and emergency lights – not yet installed on Claremont PD's F-150 – with Ford also offering a ram bar. Inside, Ford's police truck gets a reinforced instrument panel top tray that equipment can be secured to, special seats covered in a heavy-duty cloth material and featuring smaller side bolsters in order to allow for easier entry and exit for police officers, and steel intrusion plates on the seat backs in order to protect them from the rear compartment. Speaking of the latter, it features easy-to-clean vinyl rear seats and flooring.
With the larger battery, power is bumped from the standard 462 horsepower to 580 horsepower, lowering the claimed 0-60 mph time to under 4 seconds.
