The Ford Police Interceptor Utility (PIU) is based on the civilian Explorer but upgraded for law enforcement and government service. Compared to a standard Explorer, this PIU offers:
* Reinforced frame and unibody structure

* Police-spec crash protection, including a cargo area reinforced to handle a 70 mph rear-end collision
* Heavy-duty electrical system to support additional equipment
* Enhanced durability in transmission and drivetrain
*
Unlike most police vehicles that retain stripped interiors, this one has been fitted with civilian features (bench seat, console, carpet), making it a more practical daily driver while still retaining its unique PIU toughness.
