How do you figure?

Evey one of those trucks pictured said 'Supervisor' as was noted elsewhere.

These things will never go off-road driving to/from the office or going fer coffee & twinkie runs

What does a BP 'Supervisor' actually do, anyway?

Typical Gubmint excess....

Really......
There's a lot of government entities using the raptors for service vehicles.....
Federal, state, and local.

Goto Wyoming or Montana....
There's a lot of them with light bars on top.

Yer more right than you want to know. These trucks will never see any hard use at all. The drivers sign an agreement that says any, keyword ANY, damages comes out of their paycheck including scratches to the paint. The trucks must stay in pristine condition with weekly washes and and spotless care. They are show trucks for the Supers. Supers job is to maintain a healthy relationship between the Gov't agency and the Politicos of the Counties. They also handle any issues with subordinates. Unfortunately, there are agents that will chase a drug dealer and when 5 o'clock happens- they quit. Considering that all Border Patrol Agents have a $50,000.00 bounty on their head, I guess you can't blame them. It's hardly a boring job unless you think being shot at is boring. If you are a few clocks off and would like to try the ultimate hunt, the Border Patrol is for you.

Hell...I'd go down there and pick off those illegals for FREE, if they'd let me. What better vacation could there possibly be?

I plan on applying in 2-3 years when I retire from the Army. It will be nice protecting our country for once instead of some other crappy country that is stuck in the stone age.

Thats great marketing by ford and is probably going at deep discounts or even free. I wouldnt be surprised if the gave BP ICE these trucks so they can be featured on the show. Im sure its cost effective to some end.
