Why we picked the Escort Passport 9500iX: Though its name suggests it’s an old Ford equipped with BMW’s all-wheel drive system, the Escort Passport 9500iX is actually a radar detector tailor-made for long-range detection. It’s well suited to remote areas, like the Nevada desert or the Great Plains, because it detects speed traps from far away. When it goes off, you know there’s a law enforcement officer in the vicinity. The iX’s early warning gives you enough time to slow down to a more permissible speed, and its easy-to-read display tells you exactly how much speed you need to scrub off. … [Read more...] about The best radar detectors for 2021
