I really like the klickies in this set. It would look great painted grey as an armored car for your bank robbery stories too.
Is the bottom of it set up to allow the use of one of the RC controls?

Chris had this same idea as we were out driving around today and saw one of those trucks!

It's not RC compatible, unfortunately

Its a set that does feel like its kind of missing from the police theme though, its odd that its an exclusive. Why not just release it everywhere?  ???
Theres a swat team in the police theme after all.

Thanks for the review, Bonnie.

It's the first version of this vehicle to have rear facing seats.

I just wanted to show the comparison to the old Fire SUV and the new police SUV. It is basically the same truck but with slight differences. Both roofs fit each other.

 First, no rear view mirrors. I really like when a vehicle has them as it makes them look so much more life like. The new police SUV does not even have the holes for them. I may drill holes and order the mirrors to test the look out

Second, it came with no flashing light unit, to keep cost down, but the hole is there and the unit fits in just great. The units usually are white and it does not look right but I may paint the white portion black on the soon modified SUV

Third, I will find out if the two vehicle chassis can be switched around, I want an RC version and this will be the only way.

Forth, no gas hole and no opening engine compartment, I think these small details were eliminated to try and capture the US market by making a more military looking vehicle at less expensive price.

The old SUV was around $40 and this is $20. I am not too happy with these small detail omissions as that is why I love playmobil so much. If they keep loosing details is just becomes yet another cheap toy.

We have the same plan for putting the working light unit into the top of this vehicle. I wish they wouldn't be so cheap and just use the stickered version, but at least it's the same size hole so it's easily fixed.
