But I thought the CAFE act was introduced in the 70s (and in addition to the chicken tax) resulting in the “light truck” market taking over north america. I don’t know why police switched from the crown Vic in the late 2000s to SUVs rather than another sedan
Not so much anymore. The SUV craze affected cop cars too.
Ford stopped making the crown Vic, but I don’t know why they went to SUVs.
Look up the CAFE act, that explains it.
TL;DR they created a loophole in emissions standards for “work trucks” that these giant SUVs and pickups fall into.

They added some stuff to it in the 90s from what I understand
