NNBS Chicago PD Tahoe

[Denali132]

Im on the Sheriffs Dept. and we have had tahoes for a long time. We mostly use them for our K-9 Units

I'll tell you for a fact, police officers deserve to be riding in a tahoe. Does it need to be a new one, NO! But the added space in my mind is a necessity!

Not only that they burn way more fuel than a Crown Vic. They need to be in cars not SUV's unless they're off road in it. Just venting thats all. Sorry!

Wrong........

Their are several Cops on crownvic.net,a forum i have been a member of since 2003 who would say otherwise.

According to them,not only does the PPV Tahoe get better mpg,but it is also faster,has more room,and cost less than a unequipped CVPI.

So basically,the PD could either buy a bran new CVPI "unequipped" or buy a bran new PPV Tahoe "fully equipped" for the same price........

Most favor the Tahoe over the CVPI,and will pull rank to get the Tahoe for their shift.

I really like the CVPI and have owned 5 of them.However,the PPV Tahoe just seems to make more sense today.

When the new PPV Caprice and PPV Taurus comes out you 'may' start to see less PPV Tahoe's out and about.Time will tell.........

Handling

They definitely can't out handle the Crown Vic. I could see these for uses up in mountainous areas or county roads patrolled by cops, or K-9. Other than that, no much need.

We've got them in all cololrs here. They've been driving them for a while now. It sucks that our tax dollars go to CPD driving NEW TAHOES and I ride in a 99 because I can't afford a new one. Not only that they burn way more fuel than a Crown Vic. They need to be in cars not SUV's unless they're off road in it. Just venting thats all. Sorry!

wow... talk about a bunch of false information!

The price difference between a fully equipped police tahoe vs. a police interceptor is $1200 (the Tahoe is more). However, they get better gas mileage and can hold alot more crap than the crown vic, allows for more room as well. AND... when an officer gets hit from the rear while on a traffic stop, he doesn't have to worry about the car exploding into flames like a crown vic.

My Crown Vic SUCKED on the road. I filled it up when I started shift and when I went home. Barely got 200 miles to a tank, IIRC. Been awhile since I've been on the road.

As far as the cost of a new PPV Tahoe vs a CVPI goes,i was just going by what active duty officers on CVN were saying.I guess pricing could be different in different areas.

Again,i love the P71 Crown Vic,BUT i would rather shell out the $1200 more to get the PPV Tahoe.Esp seeing as the CVPI has had little changes since 1998.I know my officers would be getting pretty sick of driving them year after year....
