Lipstick on a pig. Who at Ford does this?
Detroit Free Press: F-150 helps officers who need to "transition from busy urban streets to dusty country roads," Ford said in a news release. It's especially helpful for departments that need to tow a boat, horse trailer or mobile command center with a standard towing capacity of 7,000 pounds and available towing capacity of 11,200 pounds.
The automaker prides itself on building a vehicle that performs well on dry pavement as well as wet, slick and less stable surfaces. Available technology includes wireless software updates to prevent the need to take vehicles out of service, Ford said
