A photo of an F-350 truck with blue special signals and a police color scheme was circulated on social networks. The car does not yet have state registration plates; judging by the lights and contours of the body, we are talking about a new fourth-generation pickup truck, model 2020. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has not seen such Ford F-Series before, although previous iterations of the Super Duty have been in service for a long time.
In the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow, there is a cavalry battalion in the 1st Special Police Regiment. To transport horses in the 1990-2000s, American semi-trailers with a Gooseneck type hitch were purchased. It is impossible to adapt domestic pickups to such a mount, so the fleet includes Ford F-350 Super Duty of different generations.
The new Ford Super Duty impressed with its record-breaking diesel engine and electronics “I work for the state”: new products from China in the garages of the FSO, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB Rural exotics: forgotten pickups
The oldest truck recently turned 26 years old: it is likely that it will be replaced by the new Ford F-Series. Judging by the black unpainted door handles and the utilitarian bumper, they took a poorer version for the needs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the “double” cabin and long wheelbase hint at a length of 6.7 meters! A dual-slope rear axle signifies the “truck” category of a pickup truck. Probably, for the needs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they took the option with the infernal 6.7 Power Stroke diesel engine: it develops up to 482 horsepower and 1424 Nm of torque!
The use of American superpickups is an exception to the rule. Basically, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs purchases domestic or Chinese cars. For example, among the potential new police products there are only models from the Great Wall, GAZ Group and Nizhny Novgorod Promtekh concerns.
