Yeah vision x had a nice display. Those led bars are some pricey things though. But waterproof and solid state is definitely a plus.

And blind everybody at night. They need to cut the intensity at night.

They are not legal to use on the road if not colored and most colors are emergency vehicles only. You can't legally kick on your KC Daybrighters at night on the road either.

That truck is pretty cool- but I can outrun an F150 on a pedal bike [LOL] (that's a joke, don't get pissy)...
Here's the reason you don't speed in Germany:

If I was a LEO this would be my dream to cruise in one of these.
523BHP, 0-60 in 3.3s, and a top speed of 196MPH... yeah you really can't get away from one of those, and the Polizei version has upgraded suspension, tires, brakes, anti-sway bars, and clutch... [PoPo]

Oh look, it's this idea again. Ford spent a ton of cash in R&D to design a cop car with input from police departments. And then when they announced it, nobody wanted to buy it.

I think this is a pretty awesome idea, and can't wait to see it actually take off... the Carbon E7 is the first ever purpose built law enforcement cruiser and integrates all the necessary equipment for the LEO to use without having to retrofit and upgrade an already existing civilian vehicle.
It features a fuel efficient 300BHP, BMW Turbo Diesel engine, integrated lights, computer system, 360degree exterior surveillance system (Audio and Visual) and several officer/passenger safety features. I say I approve!

Note: this car was published in Roundel Magazine (the BMW Car Club publication) about a year and a half ago because of the fact that it had the BMW TDI engine. [Beer]

I've been T-boned in an intersection because someone didn't see my lights or hear my siren.

People seem to have solid cases for lawsuit because they can say the lights weren't seen or the car wasn't a marked unit, etc. I want as much light as I can get.

I'm wondering if any of you guys are Ford guys (this is an F150, I have an F350), I would love to get a light bar like this one has on it's roof - just as lights and not as strobes, anyone know where? I've combed the net and can't find anything. I also love these new grills Ford is using too, can't find those either for mine :(.

Bad-ass looking truck though.
