The Utility was sold to police forces in 2012 and 2013, like the Taurus, although retail isn't available.
The Utility used the 3.7-liter V6 from the Ford Mustang, which produced 305 hp (227 kW; 309 PS). The car then featured the Ecoboost engine from the SHO in 2014, producing 365 hp (272 kW; 370 PS).
The Utility comes with provisions for the fitment of emergency equipment such as guns, batons, tasers, radios, first aid kits, lightbars and sirens. To free up interior space on the center console for equipment, the transmission is fitted with a column-mounted shifter. Other fleet-specific options are included as well. It also comes with an all-wheel drive powertrain as standard, and is also fitted with larger brake rotors, more advanced ABS and traction control systems, a more efficient cooling system and other standard police equipment.
In 2019, for the 2020 model year, the second-generation Ford Police Interceptor Utility was introduced with a new Rear Wheel Drive (RWD)-based platform, based on the sixth-generation Ford Explorer mid-size crossover SUV. It will replace the Ford Police Interceptor Sedan in Ford's lineup as their "purpose-built" police vehicle.
