God, this channel is perfect for when you're eating. After microwaving your dinner. Alone.

the damn wisdom hidden in a majority of these videos man

I know a guy who bought a used police interceptor. His tires have been slashed twice.

Being a tech in school, I hear everyone saying that they can outrun an officer, but I always tell them they can't outrun a radio. They don't believe me.

Attention all officers, we have a code BROWN

Some Say I Did Outrun A Radio...

“Is it the former nerd who taking all the resentment of his bullied youth out on the local skate park?” **Slow rolls past group** **lights come on** “Yeah, yeah its that one”

This video is 9 minutes and 11 seconds long. And the interceptor has 1791 on it (the year the bill of rights was established) Nice touch

Regular Sociology Essays

Why did this channel just teach me more sociology than the sociology class I'm taking?

Interesting to come back and watch this in June 2020. It hasn't aged terribly, but I don't know if it has aged well either. Also, having driven the ecoboost version a few years newer than this, I can say that it SCOOTS.

I build the interceptor. The cross brace under the carpet in the rear of the vehicle is a piece of artwork. Every single nut, bolt and screw on Explorers and the Taurus is torqued to exact specs by computer monitored tools. Over 20,000 plus parts to build a single vehicle and we produce roughly 1 vehicle a minute. I work on these and robots. Ive been there six years now and can honestly say we have assembled 2,000+ hard working, dedicated employees and managers. I've learned so much with my company and the job never stops evolving... Can i get a HELL YEAH???!!

Plot twist, Mr. Regular is a cop.

this is extremely regular

Ford did not turbo the 3.7. The ecoboost v6 engine is a 3.5, a completely different engine.

I took a work trip to Erie, PA last year. Got an all-black Explorer XLT rental car at Pittsburgh and man, people consistently moved out of my way on the drive up to Erie. It was a weird feeling having everyone be wary of you like that.

I've been watching your reviews since the Cvpi "you want to look like a cop" video came out. I haven't driven most of the cars you review, but that vic and the utility I have. Both reviews are spot on. I'll say this for the explorer/Taurus though, they are great when people try to hit alleys or Gravel roads to get away. Those old vics were terrible on loose ground.

it got surprisingly deep at the end

Is this why Fargo was on your mind, still need to watch it

This video is now more relevant than ever. Thank you Mr. Regular for this fantastic philosophical commentary.

As someone who has worked in the field of Law Enforcement, your closing statement is one of the most true things I have ever heard spoken.

Ford's attempt to get back into the market because no one is buying the Taurus Interceptor

Can we please ban soccer moms from continuing to buy these? In Alberta especially?

if you want the modern equivalent of the crown vic interceptor, where you use it to dress like a cop. the normal civilian explorer in white with black grille gets the job done

RCR, " Yeah sooo this car kinda sucks so we'll discuss sociology and stuff instead."

The look I believe is something more simple than people's guilt. These cars are harder to tell if they are cops or not, same with the charger, but especially the ford SUV. people actually own the ford SUV & dodge charger in significant numbers, it's not just granny with the Vic. the ford is an SUV in a sea of SUVs so they blend really well the light bars on them are normally hidden I have yet to see a ford SUV cop car in my town that has the flood light so that's not visible in my state Many stations seem to have a more subtle paint scheme for the ford SUV for some reason, again maybe just my state

They still use some of the P71s for the Alaska State Troopers up here around Anchorage. We have all the explorers and tauruses and chargers, but some of the P71s are still rolling around on active duty.

The outro was very poignant considering the mood in the USA right now. Very well done sir.

ITS BECAUSE YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE A COP.

Video is 9:11 for a police car LOL

No one can outrun a radio.... *Crotch Rockets: "Hold my beer."

Anyone remember this thing from Most Wanted 2012 as a rhino unit or a roadblock unit?

2013 or 2014 hmmm that's the question ??

You're a pretty good writer.

I could listen to your writing for hours...and sometimes i do. Keep it up man, all of it. You make me feel a little less weird during my hours of isolation at my blue collar job.

Coming back with the deep meaningful car reviews, gota say I missed it and I would love to see more.

They put twin turbos on a 305 hp motor and only got an extra 60 horsepower out of it? What the actual hell? How much boost is it running? 4 pounds?

alot of explorer police suv's died this past week...

I don't care what the younger generation people say about the police vehicles we have now. They will NEVER EVER be like Crown Victoria and its predecessors were. No big sturdy car with a V8, not a true police car. But that line "No one can outrun the radio" is 100% true.

There are two engine options. The 3.7 cyclone v6 as stated in the video. But, the ecoboost option is the same 3.5l twin turbo found in the Ford Taurus SHO/Police Interceptor/Lincoln MKS, the Ford Explorer Sport, and the Ford Flex. 365hp/350ft/lbs.

I hear cops who have been in high speed chases miss the crown vic bevause their low center of gravity made them handle better and tend to not roll. They also made great battering rams. These needed a bunch of modifications so they could corner at similar speeds. And have a high center of gravity like a truck because it is.

I wonder if RCR's views on the police have shifted on police over the years, be it in one direction or the other

Just bought a retired Michigan State Police 2015 PIU, with the 3.5L twin turbo. It can move FAST!

HEY! I saw this car at MicroCenter in Radnor PA yesterday. The 3.7 Liter motor is not the EcoBoost motor. The Ecoboost is the 3.5 L motor. And that thing is slow compared to the our SHO.

I drove an ambulance with the Cyclone twin turbo- it comes standard in most transit conversion vans now. Those Borg Warners make it really touchy down low, as they are ALWAYS spooling but they lean out once your revs go above ~3800 or so. It would be interesting to see what one with slightly larger turbos and a basic E85 tune could do.

That 3.7 V6 is the same as the outgoing Mustang V6, can get to 60 in around 5.3 in there, not a terrible engine considering it was about as fast as the 2010 GT.

Well, this is a pretty fascinating contrast compared to now. People dehumanizing people is a pretty common thing and the anger and frustration at police comes from how police departments passively and or actively encourage this dehumanization of the people they're supposed to protect.

One of the most epic car reviews of all time. It's more than just a car review. Love it

now that i look at it more at the front, reminds me of the mitsubishi montero

3:58 I know a few things that can ;)

lol, "...A head with a brain in it... and maybe a dog in the back" is the best thing I have heard in a long time for some reason xD

Ever since I started driving boring old people cars I never worry about cops. Last two times I was pulled over I was let go with a warning. It is a strange feeling to not flinch when I see an officer. Considering in my wild misspent youth I was constantly scanning for cops and looking over my shoulder.

The official car of guys named Steve. Holy crap that's hilarious!

Crown Vics are still used in my town, probably because we're just a small border town in the south.

These videos are the best hidden gems on KZfaq. You could show these to anyone and they'd enjoy them, not just people into cars.

There's this weird community that goes around KZfaq and downvotes videos for no apparent reason. This is one of those videos for 220 people. 220 weird, sad, potentially dangerous people who have formed some loose cabal. We'll look back at this day from a future where the only laughter is the nervous kind. Keep up the great work!

Those foos be high af on the sidewalk tripping balls lol

As a Tulsan I can name a few Garth Brooks songs. Thunder rolls was my favorite growing up.

Yep. Buddy of mine was flying when the rear suspension gave out. Needles to say ford gave the whole department new vehicles.

I love that the video is 9minutes and 11 seconds long. you sir are a gift to us all. it's the little details I love.

More important now

The Leftovers!!!! This is officially the greatest KZfaq channel ever!

I remember once I gunned it from a stoplight in my Civic to look over in terror to see a sheriff department Explorer chilling at the side of the road just to burst out laughing at the sight that only then had I reached speed limit

The new Ford Explorer IS the new Crown Vic. Every time you see one, you ask yourself: "Is that a cop?" And the 3.7 Cyclone is a great motor for a Mustang, but not much else. It makes decent power, but they really neutered it for the sake of gas mileage, mostly with the 2.73 gearing.

"RCR has a positive relationship with the police because we're not BROOOWN."

LEO here, thank you for the positivity towards most of law enforcement.

I love that line: “No one can outrun a radio.”

The last part of the video was golden. Nice take Mr. Regular.

Sucks that they had to retire the crown Vic

The Crown Vic will forever be etched into society as a figure of Law and Authority... nothing will ever come close to its masculine look and roaring V8! PSA to Police Departments, ditch the Ford Utility, stick with Tahoe's, Chargers, Challengers and CVPI's! - Sincerely, A Brit obsessed with the USA and it's LEO's :)

I work on these interceptors. The cyclone V6 water pump is in the engine driven by the timing chain. When the pump seals go they leak out a special passage in the timing cover. As it gets worse coolant eventually leaks into the engine oil. At a point this destroys the engine. A classic sign is a low coolant reservoir just pause and look at the car in the video. This is a 10 hour job mind you.

The base is the 3.7 V6 from the Mustang and the Ecoboost is the 3.5 that is in the Taurus SHO and Explorer Sport and other Ford models.

8:01 This is a good message. I wish more people my age would realize this.

I may be in the minority in my opinion here, but that a law abiding business/organization/group has to specifically and pointedly declare that they have a good relationship with the police says more to me about the state of police/community relations than the sociology lesson Mr. Regular threw out here.

I love how you brought up Weber. I knew my sociology degree would come in handy one day.

The v6 Ecoboost is a 3.5. it's also a rocket! I have one with a tune and love it! Nothing like racing some kid in a sticker covered Honda, I can feel thier embarrassment as they can't catch up to a seven-seater SUV.

Should try the twin turbo one. We have a few at work and they're a huge difference

Oh crap I forgot it's monday already. Didn't see that coming.

I own a P71, and there are plenty still in service around here, I get those looks all the time.

I like how they have had radios for a long time and still get left in the dust and never catch people ALL THE TIME

luv you Mr. Regular

It probably says Duratec because the police are always looking for something old and familiar. Especially if they're afraid of an EcoBoost.

I drove one of these as a transport vehicle for a detox center. Man we had some fun rides in the snow

I don't know why I found it so funny that the driver rolled a stop sign just as you finished your whole spiel about having a good working relationship with law enforcement.

I will still take my crown vic any day.

That ending quote was absolutely breathtaking Mr. Regular. A lot of us need to hear that in a world so divided. Excellent work.

I love watching these videos because I know where all of these filming locations are. It's awesome how there's a channel that films regular cars in regular locations, like Kutztown and Bethlehem...

I generally refer to all late-model Ford Explorers, Police or Civilian, as the "Ford Copcar." They're either cops or soccer moms, both want you to slow down but only one can do anything about it. The Dodge Copcar (late-model Charger) is much more assured to be a cop though - they're also sold on the Civilian market but hardly anyone buys them. In both cases we all so wish they'd put different taillights on the police versions than the civilian versions.

man. they are retiring already? man. i remember when they came out back in 2013 and 2014.

"oh look at me I went to college" -Mr. regular

I'm at the prime age where I'm very much used to seeing both a Crown Vic and an Explorer being police interceptors at the same time, so the pressure is doubled-down regardless of how many banks I haven't robbed.

And this.. this is why I keep coming back to this channel

I just decided to subscribe yesterday..... do they normally upload at 4am lmfao

good video, those interceptors are fun to be in.

Behind that windshield is a GED.

You CAN outrun a radio, of course only in a specific scenario: in a rural area, cop doesn't see your plate, relatively close (~7 miles) to your hiding spot, know all the back roads, and don't plan on driving that car for a couple weeks, of course there's unseen variables such as having a unique and easy to identify as yours car, or if people rat you out in whatever context.

As a regular driver of this kind of car, I call BS on the 140 something top speed. TOPS I can hit 110 going down slight hill on the highway

2013 or 2014? 🤔🤔

Oh look at you! You ACTUALLY bought yourself a police car!

I've watched so many on your videos but this one really showcases your depth of intellect.
