They have had one for years. Many police departments don't do them, but many fire departments do.

Ford seems to be making a big deal out of this as 2025 is the 75th anniversary of Ford officially offering SSVs.

Now we have to see the part numbers and prices of the skid panels, trans cooler and whatever few special parts they put in these things.

Hello Wolf.

I sure hope some of the new stuff makes it's way down to the "normal" Expy's, especially the split lift/tailgate....but I gotta see one in person before I decide on whether to sell/retire my trusty ole '011 EL

All 2025 model Expeditions have the split lift gate. However, I doubt that they'll be retrofitting your 2011 model.

I don't think there will be any special parts. There isn't any external differences on the current SSV's that I have seen local. Interiors are trimmed down and they are column shifted, so they can have all the things on/in the Center console.

Looks like the 25 ssv will retain the console shift dial

It's right up by the main screen, so it's unlikely any departments would be covering that up with a laptop, otherwise the driver wouldn't be able to access half the vehicles features - especially HVAC.

Well, I would really like to have the split gate, and I have a friend who said he might be able to 3D print the parts at his company's shop, so there's always hope

A couple departments in my area have quite a few of them. They're a sexy machine.
