There are plenty of Ford vehicles worth buying. Their commercial segment can't be beat, either. Next time you ride in an ambulance, don't expect to see a Dodge or GMC badge on it. And when it comes to reliability, I think that the vehicle you build your ambulance on should be pretty reliable.

it all depends on what year you got. mine is a 91"plus" and it isnt to bad but i have the biggest rear swaybar on mine so it helps alot. you can get them to handle very well with some mods like ebaich spings koni struts and aluminum subframe bushings. the stock 3.05speed is about a 14.8 or so in the 1/4 mile, if you do a few bolt ons like Y pipe, exhaust and big bore butterflys and working on how to launch a front wheel drive car you can get it better. there is a guy with a supercharger on shoforum that is running 12.939 in the 1/4! i love the car just for the secondarys when they open up at 4k its amazing and the red line is 7300rpm.fun high reving engine

i dont think thats necessarily true. i think the contract goes to who ever can supply the cars cheapest or who ever has the most connections with the person in charge of buying ambulances.

And the SHO's were nice, but my old car was a Police Package wagon. Bet you didn't know they made the wagon with the Package, and neither did anyone else. Almost SHO quick with the 3.8, but in wagon form with the heavy suspension and better weight distribution.

^ Too bad they cost 7 figures....
I don't even like Ford, but there's plenty of their products that are worth buying. The Mustang Cobra, espec the '03-04 Terminator. Their trucks, espec their Heavy-Duty lineup. And they're Harley trucks. I would def rock one. The there's their GT.And they have a lot of badass cars over in Europe and Australia that the US never got.
