Your used AWD choice: Ford P.I. or Dodge Charger

[bmd224]

Which all wheel drive police platform car would you rather buy used:

2015 Charger AWD
2015 Ford P.I. (Taurus) AWD

Which is more reliable? Which has a better AWD system to prevent getting stuck in the snow?

Hemi Charger?
I'd take the dodge just from creature comfort aspect personally

Some of my friends have both as fleet options at their work. If only considering snow issues they all swear the Interceptor sedan is better than the charger awd. With that said they all still prefer to drive the charger for looks and (duty equipment) comfort. They avoid the snowbanks, ditches and un-plowed roads as much as they can.

Regardless which option you get- ensure you get proper snow tires for wintertime. Will make a world of difference. All season is garbage near and below freezing temps.

The Ford will have better reliability but the Charger looks better and if it has the V-8, sounds and performs better.

How do you figure? PI's are failing left and right?

Is the Charger a Pursuit?

 

[RyanZ71]

Chrysler products have had worse reliability vs Ford and GM for the past 40+ years. That's how.

All Police Chargers are Pursuits

Yes of course, lol. I missed where it said "Police" in the first sentence so thought it might have been a civilian model.

Well, he's not choosing between two cars built 40+ years ago, he's choosing between two newer models. So what is the reliability of the 2013+ Ford PI Sedan and the 2015 Charger Pursuit AWD?

But i'd still take the Charger over the Ford personally.

I’d trade in my Charger for a Klondike Bar. Hate the car. If take the Ford, preferably Utility in a heartbeat.

What year?

My take home is a 2014 issued to me in June of '14.
