The Tennessee Highway Patrol in the United States has just expanded its fleet with the addition of a Ford Mustang, officials revealed in a Facebook post.
The new Mustang is primarily tasked with helping officers “prevent reckless driving, enforce speed laws, and respond when lives are at stake,” according to the post.
Beyond the new addition, the Tennessee Highway Patrol operates an impressive fleet of vehicles, including a Ford Police Interceptor Hybrid, which was added to the fleet in 2020, according to the Tennessee Department of General Services.
The Ford Police Interceptor is a variant of the Ford Explorer specifically designed for law enforcement. It comes from the factory equipped with a variety of advanced driver assistance and safety features, including automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning.
In addition to its Fords, the Tennessee Highway Patrol also uses a Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck for patrol and operations, according to the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security.
Known for its durability and towing capacity, the Silverado offers many powertrain and trim options, including several off-road variants, making it a perfect vehicle for Tennessee’s officers.
