A Ford Excursion or Suburban would be far harder to deal with, given they can actually manoeuvre and accelerate.

Not to give away any industry secrets, but spike belts don’t work automatically. If they work at all. Sometimes they don’t puncture tires and even if they do the air loss can be slow. And shooting tires on a moving vehicle isn’t all that easy. A better option would be using a sniper to actually disable the engine, which can be done. But in a risk averse police service? Not usually an option. And even with a truck moving slow boxing it in with Explorers isn’t necessarily going to work.
