Product Description
The Adaptive Cruise Control Upgrade Package brings the most advanced forward-looking driver assistance capability found in Ford Explorer models equipped with Co-Pilot360™ Plus to the 2020–2024 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. This upgrade restores the complete factory Adaptive Cruise Control architecture by integrating OEM Ford radar, forward-facing camera, and control modules. Once installed and properly configured, the vehicle supports Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, and is potentially capable of Intelligent Cruise Control (with automatic speed limit adjustment based on posted road speed signs), subject to vehicle configuration and final programming.
This package is engineered as a true internal factory-level integration, operating entirely within Ford’s original vehicle network and control logic. No aftermarket emulation, signal spoofing, or external control systems are used, ensuring OEM-consistent behavior, diagnostics, and long-term reliability.
Background Information
The Ford Police Interceptor Utility is based on the Ford Explorer platform, but is delivered in a fleet-optimized configuration that removes many advanced driver-assistance features commonly found on civilian models. In most cases, Adaptive Cruise Control and its supporting hardware—such as the forward-facing camera and radar system—are entirely omitted, despite the vehicle’s underlying electronic and network architecture being fully capable of supporting these systems.
In modern vehicles, Adaptive Cruise Control has become one of the most widely used and most trusted driver-assistance features, particularly in real-world driving scenarios:
- Frequently used during highway and long-distance cruising
- Proven to enhance safety during sustained high-speed driving by maintaining consistent following distance
- Highly rated by a broad range of vehicle owners due to reduced driver fatigue and improved traffic flow management
While a small number of Police Interceptor Utility vehicles may be equipped with Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, the absence of Adaptive Cruise Control modules, radar sensors, and associated configuration prevents the system from operating beyond basic forward collision mitigation. This upgrade package was developed to restore the missing OEM components and system logic, enabling full front-end Adaptive Cruise Control functionality through proper hardware integration and factory-level configuration.
