1995 Ford Taurus GL Start Up, Engine, and In Depth Tour

[@oscaramador4200]

I bought a 1995 taurus like this one back in 2015, it only had 93k miles on it, everything on it was new and it worked, the ac would be blowing freaking cold just seconds after you turn it on, you could do 85mph on the freeway and it would drive really smooth. Man I should have never sold it

[@bradleymeyer9775]

I like the simplicity of cars from 1990-2005. They also seem more reliable too.

Column shifters are so so much better than floor shifters, its such a shame they dont use them in the UK

[@mr.juicethebeetle3373]

Why?

[@robertknight4672]

It's a good place to hang an air freshener on your face mask we wore during the pandemic. Especially in a state where they don't like you to hang things from the mirror to block your view. I drive a Honda Element which has its which actually has its floor style shifter coming out of the dash similar to some vans. So I will just hang my mask there. We don't have laws against paying things in the mirror where I live but I just don't like to do that.

[@AVC-Works]

I still love this model. Nice simple styling.

Oh my aching childhood! My grandmother had a '93 Taurus GL sedan in midnight blue... I miss it so much. Someday, I'll have one, and restore it to look just like here's back in '93. Her first brand new car. Only had six miles on the odometer.

[@nathanm8242]

For those of us who will not compromise, Ford listened. They created Taurus, for us.

[@houseofno]

If you think the original Ford Taurus lacked compromises, you're not looking hard enough. Still, giving credit where credit is due, this is the car that saved Ford in the eighties. When this car was being developed, Ford was hemorrhaging a billion dollars a day. Even today, that was a lot of money then, and a lot of money now too.

[@Pmm368]

I have a 1995 Ford Taurus GL 3.0 Litre V6 Engine, 192,000 miles on it. Had it for about 5 years now, it's a great running car. I'm 20 now and I love the car although it has broken down on me a lot in the past. Last time it broke down on me was 4 months ago with the water pump.

[@TheRalphus666]

I just got a light silver Taurus from my mom's 100 year old aunt.It is super mint I dont think anybody ever sat in the back seats.It only has and I swear on my life 11,525 miles thats not a typo eleven thousand and change.She is 100 so she doesnt drive,I was nervous that it would have alot of leaks and dry-rot but it sat in her garage the whole time she got it.It still has the General tires that came with it with alot of tread left.I just charged the motorcraft batt.and it sounds like a dream.

[@DavidJones-ye2if]

Funny story. When I was 8, my uncle rented a 1995 Taurus. One of the first things I noticed was it had an electric driver's seat. I had seen the movie "Planes Trains & Automobiles", where John Candy breaks a car seat, and says that it's impossible to break them. I wanted to see if it really would happen, so I kept moving the seat back and forth until it finally quit working. Man, was my uncle PISSED!

Great video as always! Keep up the good work Kyle! A beautiful older American car that used to be number one in sales.

[@NickMyers1]

95 was the first year all trim lines of the Taurus came with a million mile odometer. I noticed it has ABS, 4 wheel disc brakes. Good basic transport for someone. They just gota fix the door dinger issue and they'll be ready to go. Surprising to see LX/SE multi spoke alloys on it. Those 3.8s, when running right, are some torquey engines.

[@leezlee17]

Nice video dude! One of the lights wasn't working in the beginning when you did the hazard / headlights round about for a little bit, then when you went right into it it turned on! You have some magic in you! :)

[@BluePancake1000]

My mom had the same engine in her Windstar, with the same transmission. They were pieces of crap, the intake manifold actually melted a hole, the transmission went and only a year after it was rebuilt it went again, and you'd have to try at least 4 times to get it started in the winter.

[@jacketman22]

My parents used to have one of these, we actually got it up past 85 miles per hour (or 136 kilometres per hour) a few times... I know this because my Dad once got stopped by the cops for going 145 kph (90 mph). Of course, a the car was ready to fall apart at that speed, but it could get there no problemo.

Didn't even last him 6 months. I have a red 95 escort lx and is very reliable. Bought it off of my cousin in August of 2016 for 300 bucks it had 112k on it Put some money into it and kept it on the road. As of now December 2017 never left me stranded once even 20000 miles later. Trans mission leaks fluid so gotta keep refilling it every 2 weeks. When it comes to delivering pizzas its a real money maker.

[@steveo7771286]

You just gotta love those old broken ignitions. Constant chime even without the key in. Some wouldn't turn unless you wiggled the crap out of the steering wheel. And of course the old key comes out while the car is running thing. Those were the days. lol

[@RodknockRhett]

It's actually the seat belt warning chime. Look at the dash lights.

[@steveo7771286]

Rhett Krecic Odd. The seat belt indicator doesn't light up until he turns the key to the on position, but the chime is going from the moment he opens the door. We had a 95 Contour that was the same way. Always thought it was broken, maybe it was just meant to be that way?

[@RodknockRhett]

Steven Hall My 1999 Bravada lets the door chime go on and on whether the key is in or not. It could be normal though my truck was the first vehicle that I heard do that.

[@steveo7771286]

Rhett Krecic Yeah, idk. my grandma had a 98 bravada and it never made noise unless the key was at least in the ignition.

This is an old video, his videos weren't as developed then as he just brought in power details for the engines. His newer videos are much more in depth and provide history & more precise details about the car, and in some instances he goes over development and how the car came around. Especially his Plymouth Roadrunner video which he uploaded weeks ago.

[@MrPeteragent]

[@JohnSulu14]

I'd rather buy this car because the cost of the insurance would be lower, even the max speed for this car is 85 miles per hour which makes this car a little more safe for me to drive.

[@xXDaMasta18Xx]

@FoxyWolfProductionz Actually when you first open the door and the power isn't on, the chime shouldn't be sounding. It only sounds once the power is turned on for about 5 seconds then it will go off. There's probablly something wrong with the ignition sensor. I know because i own a 1993 Mercury Sable.

[@Islander39er]

exactly. best you can buy in some segments though they have produced vehicles that were and are junk. like small cars and minivans from ford, a lot were junk. however, their bigger cars,full size vans, many SUVs and especially trucks from ford are the best you can buy and are extremely well built.lots of best in class stuff for the f-series! which is my favorite vehicle...but no matter what vehicle you take, there will be lemons to exeptional quality ones.fluctuates with days of the week alot...

[@jacketman22]

First of all, I wasn't the one maintaining it. Secondly, it wasn't even a maintenance issue to begin with. ALL Essex engines are well-known for their defective head gaskets and are prone to premature failure. I'll bet the car in this video had them replaced as part of the recall.

[@joshm2838]

I noticed my temp gauge will sometimes not go to the middle even after the cars been running for an hour and still stay closer to cold. But then other times it will run slightly hot like 2/3 of the way to fully hot/overheating and the cars only been on for 15 minutes. This usually happens with slower driving or idling. Is this normal for these cars?

[@WhittyPics]

Are there any of these left? I don't see them on the road much anymore. I figured most of them are rusting somewhere? I used to have a 92. It was a damn good car. I never seen one with that many miles on it. I didn't think the transmissions would hold up that long.
