My expy used to be owned by some park ranger outfit. Not many options on board, but a cool search light that I've not even plugged in.

Cool thread. I had a prior 94 Bronco which was "wired" and used by a Gov't agency at one time... all light assemblies had Whelen strobes, misc. coax cabling under flooring, Antennex antenna mounted in middle of cab roof, metal bracketry that was mounted to floor in front of center console and other misc. wiring that was cut but still in the truck.

Here's my question with the subject matter of this thread:

How does one know where to find a Ex-Govt/EMT/Police/Fire Expedition - meaning, is there a specific used vehicle dealer network that specializes in selling these back to the public?

My prior Bronco was purchased from a mom-pop used car Dealer - I only found the stuff after my purchase (Dealer knew nothing).

Another question:
Does the Govt use Expeditions have a specific DSO code on the data decal found on driver's side?

don't let this thread die out folks. although i don't own a prior government Expo, the place i work at services them. funny how the prefered vehicle in law enforcement, at least in my area, is the Expedition. the guys with K-9s love them due to more room out back than the competition. what's even funnier is that i almost bought a government Tahoe before i bought my civilian Expedition. lets keep this thread going.

I bought my 2001 ssv for $600 in a online auction it has 86,000 miles. I'm really liking this rig but it rides a lot rougher then my Broncos do and my dog likes the back seat with its cage in front of and behind the seat

What if I have a gen3 EL Limited, and I work for a department that has a gen3 in our fleet?

Btw, the two are night and day different. The one at work rides like crap and my LT says it gets stuck everywhere. Of course it's just 2wd... My personal Expy EL is 4wd and rides like a dream.
