The SUV version is based on the 1998- 2004 Isuzu Rodeo. It is used for transportation, chasing runaway criminals, and holding the arrested in the back. It appears in every episode of the series.
Biography
In "Welcome to Paradise", Randall overdosed on testosterone patches and turned into a giant red demon monster, who picked up his own car, smashed it into a ball, and threw it across the streets. Gerald pointed out to the Chief that he just destroyed his own car.
In "Black & Blue", Gerald shooting himself in the leg was caught on the dash cam footage of the squad car, which Gina leaked to the internet.
In "Meet the Jabowskis", Kevin was allowed to use the squad car instead of his own car for the first time. He drove around a hooker dressed as Gina to scare the criminals of Paradise. However, the hooker died in the car, making her unusable for the mission from then on.
In "Paradise Found", The PPD Copter temporarily replaced the car as Randall's favorite method of transportation before getting repossessed in "Big Ball Energy".
In "Who Ate Wally's Waffles?", Thester and Frank planted a dolly bomb under Randall's SUV in an attempt to kill him, so that he wouldn't solve the houndstooth meth case. Kevin noticed that Randall was about to get into a bombed car and tackled him just in time for the car to blow up, saving his life.
In "Flip the Vote", Randall and all of the cops, along with Karen piled into the car to escape Paradise and go to Brickleberry National Park, when Fitz took over.
In "Paradise PD Meets Brickleberry", Gina hijacked the car and drove it after Firecracker Jim in an epic chase scene but not before shooting flat the tires of Ethel's patrol vehicle.
In "Operation DD", Randall, the cops, and Karen drove the squad car from Brickleberry back to Paradise after getting busted by Thester but they had to leave the car behind when they were locked out thanks to Fitz's newly built border wall around Paradise.
Trivia

- The squad car's licence plate reads "CHIEF", signifying that it's main driver is Chief Randall Crawford.
- The squad car was destroyed in the episodes "Welcome to Paradise" and "Who Ate Wally's Waffles?", yet was immediately rebuilt without question.
