Trunk Pack™ and trunk loading
WARNING: Ford recommends that police equipment be both
secured and laterally aligned. Hard, stiff or sharp objects,
especially when not secured or properly located, pose a risk to the fuel
tank and back seat occupants in the event of a high speed rear impact.
After-market organizers that do not adequately deform in rear-impacts
can themselves become injury-producing objects. When locating,
securing and mounting police equipment, please review the ЉTrunk
Equipment Mounting Guide,Љ available on the www.cvpi.com website,
which provides recommended fastener mounting types and locations.
WARNING: Following the trunk packing considerations, also on
the www.fleet.ford.com website, is the most meaningful method
of reducing risk. If your department practice is inconsistent with the
Trunk Packing Considerations, then Ford suggests that you consider
purchasing an optional drop-in Trunk Pack™ to further reduce the risk
of injury resulting from police equipment pushing forward into the
back seat and/or fuel tank in the event of a high-speed rear impact.
The Trunk Pack™ provides more flexibility to officers transporting
police equipment than the trunk packing considerations.
To improve trunk packing by police agencies, Ford has made the
following items available:
Trunk Pack™ a drop-in box with a tough plastic shell made of high
density Polyethylene (HDPE). It both aligns police equipment laterally
in the trunk and utilizes a puncture resistant lining on the forward
side of the box to reduce the risk of police equipment penetrating into
the fuel tank and/or back seat in high-speed rear impacts.
Trunk Equipment Mounting Guide an outline pattern with
recommended fastener mounting locations in the trunk. The guide can
be found in the Police Interceptor Modifier Guide and on the
Internet at www.fleet.ford.com.
Trunk packing considerations the following guidelines are offered to
reduce the risk of unique police equipment items pushing through the
fuel tank and/or back seat (see our www.fleet.ford.com website for
more details).
