The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating reports of carbon monoxide poisoning in Ford Explorer police interceptors, particularly in Austin, Texas. Ford officials claimed that while exhaust odors may be present, carbon monoxide is odorless, a statement criticized for ignoring that the gas is a component of exhaust. The company suggested that aftermarket modifications for police equipment may be creating unsealed spaces in the vehicle cabins.

The current Ford Explorer manages the weight but suffers from poor fuel economy and a small 17-gallon tank, while the trailer itself required professional spraying to eliminate a fire ant infestation picked up in Galveston.
