Explorer

The Ford Explorer is a common police patrol vehicle used in Los Santos. It is also known as the Ford Police Interceptor Utility.

General Description
The Explorer is a common patrol vehicle used by more senior members of the Police Department. The vehicle is prized for its off-road capabilities, which the CVPI lacked. As such, law enforcement officers who routinely patrol in the Blaine County, in general, Park Rangers and some Sheriff's Deputies, will utilise the Explorer.

The Explorer is a SUV that can seat up to five individuals inside.

Usage
The Ford Explorer is relatively common in Los Santos, as it is used by law enforcement officers of the Unified Police Department, as well as certain corrections officers of the Department of Corrections. This vehicle is available to all sworn law enforcement officers, that meet the requirements, of the San Andreas State Police, the San Andreas State Park Rangers, the Vinewood Police Department, the Davis Police Department, the Cerberus Police Department, and the Senora Desert Sheriff's Office as well as members of the DOC.

With the exception of the CPD, who allow Full Deputies to drive Explorers. The vehicle is only available to law enforcement officers holding the rank senior or equal to Senior Officer, Trooper and Ranger. Officers acting in a K9 handler capacity or who are an FTO are able to use the vehicle, irrespective of rank. Corrections officers holding a rank senior or equal to Sergeant are allowed to use the vehicle.

As with the CVPI, the Ford Explorer comes with numerous liveries, including State Police, Park Ranger, LSPD, BCSO, High Command and DOC. SASP, SASPR, LSPD and BCSO K9 liveries are also available for the Ford Explorer. Similar to the CVPI, members of specialised units, including but not limited to the Street Crimes Unit and the High Value Target Unit, are allowed to use unmarked Explorers to assist them in their duties.

Additionally, the slick top configuration of the vehicle is available for individuals who hold the rank of or are senior to Sergeant.

Vehicle Cost
The Ford Explorer costs $190,000 at the MRPD garage.
