“It’s got a cop motor . . . it’s got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks.” As Blues Brother Elwood spelled out years ago, the recipe for baking law enforcement vehicles was once a simple one: Take a given manufacturer’s largest four-door sedan, strip out the luxuries, and then beef up the engine, suspension, and footwear for heavy-duty use and abuse. But as the supply of spacious, rear-wheel-drive domestic sedans from Detroit began to dwindle, manufacturers and law-enforcement agencies have looked more to roomy SUVs to perform some of the more rugged or equipment-intensive tasks. SUVs also make sense for agencies tasked with patrolling off the beaten path, such as police departments and border patrol units in the Southwest.
