While the hybrid Ford PIU is standard, law enforcement fleets have additional powertrain options. Customers can choose a 3.3-liter gas engine with 285 hp and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. There is also an EcoBoost option with the PIU that delivers 400 hp and 415 lb.-ft. of torque. All powertrains, including the hybrid, are all-wheel drive.
