  One thing I've noticed and no Chevy/Dodge or import fan boy has ever really given me a real good answer on is, why do the majority of police forces, taxi companies, and hospitols used Ford Motor Company products as opposed to, say, the cheaper Chevy's and Dodge's?

 

 Tis a good point.  Sure some police forces and taxi services use Caprice's, but the majority of them are in fact Crown Vic's.


And I never quite got it because the Charger and Impala are cheaper, faster, and more fuel efficient. Probably handle better as well, and the Lord knows front drive > rear drive in less-then-perfect road conditions. Yet, at the same time, police and cab fleets are almost always filled with them.


Don't the police and stuff use like old fords? Like late 90's early 2000's and the Chevy's and Dodge's are the new ones right like the Charger and stuff? So wouldn't it be cheaper to get the Fords?

Ford has dominated the squad car industry since the late 1970's with the discontinuation of the Dodge Monaco and the introduction of the "Panther Platform" Ford LTD. Its common to see 90's or older Ford's, but I'd say the majority are 2001 to present models.
