NYPD 4-Door 2012 Ford F-550/Odyssey ESU REP

[x635 4,066]

When going for my train rides, I always see this 4 door REP near the Harlem-125th St. MNRR station, about 10 blocks south. Tonight, I got out and huffed it to see if I could get a shot to share on here.

It is a 2012 model F-550, with a four door cab with a body built by Odyssey Auto. Assigned unit # 5778-12 There was no one around to talk to about it when I photographed it, but it appeared in pretty mint condition. It also appeared that all 4 seats are being used (from buttprints). The body is exactly the same as a regular REP, and is of the newest spec.

There could be a thousand reasons why this unit is a 4 door cab....the easiest is to say 4 man REP...but what is the reason? Is it even an REP? Is there more of this style, or are there going to be more? Buffy minds want to know.

First 4 door one I have seen. Might be a test bed for future units, although i cant see them patroling with 4 guys. They would either have to expand greatly to do it, or reduce the overall number of REPs out at one time.

Might just be doing what ems is. EMS got the 4 door cabs so members could put their equipment in there. More specifically in case of a WMD or terrorist attack we wouldn't need to get out of the truck we could grab our equipment from behind us which we previously couldn't

Four doors - because carrying a box of donuts on your lap is soooo 1990.
