The Ford F-150 Lightning Pro SSV is an electric truck made for cops - The Verge

Ford revealed a version of its electric F-150 Lightning truck designed specially for law enforcement customers, with police-grade materials and reinforced instrument panels.

Ford, the leading automaker when it comes to making and selling specially designed vehicles for law enforcement, revealed the F-150 Lightning Pro SSV, an electric truck specially designed for law enforcement.

The truck is a variant of the F-150 Lightning Pro, which is a version of Ford’s electric pickup that’s aimed specifically at commercial customers and fleet owners. Ford is pitching the F-150 Lightning Pro SSV (which stands for “Special Service Vehicle”) as an ideal fleet vehicle with all the features cops have come to rely on over the years, as well as other advantages specific to EVs, like quick acceleration and a lower total cost of ownership.

And interestingly, the new version of the F-150 Lightning is being revealed a little over two years after protests for racial justice and against police brutality in the wake of George Floyd’s murder erupted nationwide, forcing many companies to reckon with their ties to law enforcement.
