Why are Crown Vics so reliable?
The P71 package is what made the Crown Victoria an American car legend. This package gave external oil coolers to the transmission and transmission and a higher capacity alternator. This made the car the most durable vehicle on the road, and every police force in America was trying to get their hands on one.
Why did Ford discontinue the Crown Victoria?
The Crown Victoria was not in high demand except by state and local law enforcement agencies and taxi companies. That is not a large enough market to support an assembly line. The Crown Victoria sold less in a year (20,000-30,000) than the Explorer sold in a quarter (50,000-60,000).
