From a mechanic friend of mine: the new state highway patrol Dodge Durango pursuit SUVs all have oil cooler problems and they will absolutely roach an engine in this heat…so go ahead, you got 'em

    “Pursuit SUV” is such a dumb concept in the first place. A tall and heavy vehicle going fast is dumb. A Pursuit Vehicle should have proper weight distribution (low to the ground and balanced) for stability and handling.

      Supposedly police need pursuit SUVs to chase vehicles off-road. But the real reason is obviously so that the cops can feel like strong spouse-abusers at work too.

      They could use cars like actual law enforcement but the cops need booster seats to see, so they get an SUV to look like a big boy.
