Ford stopped making the crown Vic, but I don't know why they went to SUVs.

Look up the CAFE act, that explains it.

TL;DR they created a loophole in emissions standards for "work trucks" that these giant SUVs and pickups fall into.

But I thought the CAFE act was introduced in the 70s (and in addition to the chicken tax) resulting in the "light truck" market taking over north america. I don't know why police switched from the crown Vic in the late 2000s to SUVs rather than another sedan

They added some stuff to it in the 90s from what I understand
