2013 struts on 2011 interchange?

[11MKSECO]

Hey guys,
I’m new here, new to the Taurus platform, but, not new to wrenching and modding m/buikding.
(esp ford mustangs and Vic’s)
I have just finally acquired a 2012 MKS (ecoboost) , I mean as with most cars if this type, they were waaaaaaay out of my price range when they were new.
Now I have a one owner with 107k miles on it and it’s time to do some routine maintenance, as well as some light (for now) modding….
I’m sure I’m have a ton of questions as I dive into it all, but, as for right now, my immediate question concerns possible interchangeability.
Will 2023 Police Interceptor suspension parts (namely front struts/etc and rear shocks fitting my 2012 model?
I have seen both yes and no answers, so I figured out if all the net, this would be the place to get to the bottom of this first hurdle…
Thanks in advance everyone.

Do a maintenance of all fluids especially the PTU 'lifetime' fluid. After that- saving some $ for timing components and for when one of the turbos crap out- and a tune with 3bar map... in any order you determine is best.

Awesome, thank you…
But, any idea on my question on struts/shocks interchange?

No I am trying the easy cross ref Ford part sites but not much luck. I am seeing 20-25 matching in pi explorer but nothing about earlier models which might be able to cross over to sedan.

Title says 2013. Is it that or 2023?

Same.
It’s my understanding that flex/explorer and Taurus all on the same year (2011) will interchange, but I’m not seeing anything about the newer stuff fitting the older, which seems odd as the interceptor is just a Taurus.
Implant on doing lines etc and all, so even if line mounts/etc are diff it wouldn’t matter in my application, but I just can’t get any verification.
I hate to have to order multiple year parts and just see, but it might could fine to that.
That’s why I’m checking here first…

No, 2013 is correct. I’m interested in putting 2013 struts and shocks from a 2013 police interceptor on my 2011..

No, 2010-2012 is different from 2013+.

That is a radical redesign! Nice not to have a pinch bolt though.
