GM's introducing a Special Service Vehicle variant of the 2015 for police use, so now you've got another headlight pattern to get paranoid about.
The Silverado SSV doesn't have any particularly insane ass-busting features like high-speed deployable spike strips or EMP launchers. And obviously, it's not quite as cool as the . A 170 amp alternator, big auxiliary battery, and extra switches to control all the gadgets cops love to get donut crumbs on are the main attractions.
Chevy's also making a "common key" option so police departments can operate all their GM products with the same key, so that's kinda neat.
Municipalities will be able to Silverado SSVs pre-fitted with other law enforcement gear they often get from the aftermarket:
Spotlamp – driver or driver and passengerWiring for grille, lamp and sirensFlasher system for headlamps and taillampsCommon key packageVinyl rear seatsFront center seat deleteAuxiliary dome lampElectronic four-wheel-drive switchDaytime running lamps delete
Rear-vision camera
The town I grew up in had a Ford F-150 crew cab when I was in high school, and I've seen plenty of Tahoes in New York State Police livery. But I can't remember ever seeing a GM pickup wearing The Shield. Are police trucks more common where you live?
