2018 Ford Taurus SHO full Review!

[@accobra62]

I worked for Ford.I cannot fathom them killing this off.But here we are.

[@dexm2010]

It really is sad. One of the first cars I learned how to drive was a Ford Taurus ('92 I think) along with a Mercury Sable (also '92).

The SHO is such a badass underrated sleeper sedan.

[@pickygarage]

I agree with you Nick! Ford just released that the last Taurus has rolled off the line... sad day for such a great car.

[@dexm2010]

@ Picky Garage We all heard the news a while back about all the sedans going away, but in your own opinion do you think that 7 or 8 years down the road Ford might consider re-releasing the Taurus in some form? I know the Chinese are getting a modified model in 2020. Just hoping against hope....

[@pickygarage]

@@dexm2010I talked to one of the presidents at ford and he informed me that it just isn't worth it to make sedans anymore due the fact that they are selling way more suv's in america probably because a SUV in 2019 gets really good gas mileage with a bigger vehicle that has a lot more space. In the future I could see ford releasing another sedan once they make more money. For now they see it as if they just focus on SUV's they will have a greater ROI.

[@dexm2010]

@ Picky Garage Thank you for your input on this!

[@jefffrancisco952]

I beat an Chevy SS Z28 drop top in the 1/8th mile with my stock one. The SHO are tanks though. If you want something quick, and want an SHO, buy a used cop car, they are gutted already. Just make sure it has the SHO motor.

[@cadenig5731]

I’m 17 with a 2012 Taurus SHO. This is my first car, it has over 120,000 miles currently. Let me tell you, it sounds beautiful and it drives like I bought it completely new. Love it so much

[@bigcauc7530]

I still love watching these videos. I was looking at and obsessed with the sho the second someone told me about it. I originally was going for the lower trim tuarus because I drove a 2015 that belonged to someone I know and at 160k miles, it felt like a bad ass with almost 300hp. That was going to be an upgrade from my 08 sable. Forward to now, I just bought the last year 2019 because I couldn't do any older when it's not coming back as of now. But every time I see another one of these talking up the car, I'm a proud owner. One of my friends is an avid denouncer of American built cars and Ford specifically. He wouldn't listen to me when I told him about all of the research I had done on top of that experience I had that really got me going. He just waits for me to have any complaints to blow it out of proportion 🤦‍♂️ lol. I love this SHO. Buyers remorse only lasted a solid few days. Ha Edit: also not sure about a tune because that seems to increase the possibly of trouble codes in the car and I just don't want that stress in a new car I'm paying off. But if I can find other safe ways to improve the performance, I will do it later on.

[@pickygarage]

Yeah I don’t know too many people that have modified their sho but I do know it’s out there.

[@Carlos-hr9kg]

Sucks ford is discontinuing it along with fusion and others. Such a nice looking sedan, in my opinion, it’d be better with a v8 engine. Thanks for the review man. You should talk more about ride quality, give it a couple of tests, like flooring it from a stop or a roll, the safety features and what it could be better on, etc. overall it was good man.

[@pickygarage]

Thank you! I will make a video soon covering your suggestions. I agree the car should have a twin turbo v8 hahhaa. I do not know why ford is discontinuing the sedan as I have and love both the ford fusion and taurus.

[@Carlos-hr9kg]

Picky Garage they’re discontinuing it because Americans prefer big SUVs and they’re gonna head in that direction. Leaving his the mustang and I think the focus.

[@DJBeast_official]

I’m considering getting one. How is it on gas? How often do u fill up per week? Thanks

[@pickygarage]

23 mpg and it will go about 500 miles on a full tank of gas.

[@marioferreira3275]

Great car bought mine new in 2011 going on 120,000 miles ,just make sure you change the oil in the PTU every 30,000 miles it will thicken up and turn into molasses from the heat from one of the turbos. Trust me I'm speaking from experience.

[@pickygarage]

Great comment thanks for sharing your experience with the Taurus! Our first Taurus did 150,000 miles and this new one has about 30,000 and we still love it! Hope you’re staying safe!

[@y0ur_name_here]

The PTU gets heat soaked by the catalytic converter siting directly underneath it, not the turbo. And it really should be done every 10K miles.

[@godzilla6740]

Love yr video. You have convinced me the Taraus SHO is a car to consider plus the fact u drove one 140,000 with few problems says a lot. Some things concern me. The more electronics a car has the potential for more problems exist. My mechanic can testify to that. With all the toys the car has, and there r many, it seems one might need to be a rocket scientist to operate some of the electronics. I saw an interview with J. D. Powers recently and the car he drives and has for many years is a Mercury Marauder. He talked about the simplicity of the car and lack of the overdose of electronics many modern day cars have. I tend to agree. I own a Crown Vic Sport and Marauder I love the ride and the fact they too are reliable and bullitproof and simple to operate. My Vic has over 222,000 miles and I would trust it to drive anywhere. Yes, I was one of those who cried when Ford announced they would stop production. I know the cars were dated and had not been up graded in years but they r great cars. The old saying if it aint broke don't fix it applies. It seems sales of the Taraus have been disappointing since it took over in 2012 as the replacement for the Crown Vic. I see very few here in Alabama used by the police or the civilian sector and Ford dealers I have visited have very few on their lots especially compared with the ocean of Fusions being sold. Police officers I have spoken to say that don't like the Taraus. Biggest complaint lack of room. This explains why there r so many Tahoes and Explorers being used by state troopers and police departments. Crown Vics made up over 75 percent of the police market and Ford lost it to GM when Vic production ended. Your review has made me want to reconsider and seriously look at Taraus SHO as a future car for my dailey driver. The things I mentioned earlier do concern me especially the abundance of electronics which I look at as a minus but most all cars have that now. I hate dealer service departments and my gut feeling is after the warranty expires I would be spending a great deal of time and money there since I drive my cars a very long time. Great video and review. You made some very good points for the Taraus. Thanks again. Jamey

[@pickygarage]

This car has pretty much the same technology as the 2013 I owned and that car had zero electronic issues. The only issue was one day the blind sight warning on the driver side mirror went out and I turned the car off and back on..... problem fixed hahahha. The 2013 had bad head room in the back of the car for anyone 6'2" or taller. This problem was fixed in the 2018 as it now has a notch in the back seat roof to fit taller guests. The 2013 also had no issues when I traded it in I was just ready for a new one. Thanks for watching let me know if you have any questions!

[@Davido50]

Dont be overly concerned at all. All new nice vehicles have lots electronics etc. Ford makes excellent sedans SUVs & trucks. U will enjoy very much. I'm getting a '19 Taurus SHO If I can find one. If not then a Fusion Sport AWD.

[@jimmellenberger8505]

Yes, it's on the chop block. They're shifting to the newest SUVs, the Lincoln Aviator and it's Ford counterpart in the Chicago plant where they were built. I'd love the EcoBoost Lincoln, same drivetrain, more luxurious on the inside, and even more of a sleeper.

[@DJJohnnyTapia]

It's a great car. Just picked up a 2010 for a steal one owner car. Runs like new.. only thing I was concerned about is that waterpump. It's built In the engine. And it is a lot of labor hours to put new one in. That being said my 10 year old Taurus has 140K miles. And it hauls..and is smooth. And surprised by amount of tech in it.

[@hemi300c4]

Love the SHO. Actually on the top of my list after a test drive. Great performance, comfort, looks and technology. By the way. I think you mentioned 300 ft lbs in your video. It's rated at 350. During my test drive I used my phone as a timer for a couple 0-60 runs. I understand it's primitive and not totally accurate but 5.5 seconds with I'm assuming 87 octane dealership gas was pretty good. Thanks for the video. I totally agree that the SHO is an underated sleeper sedan that runs as strong as the 5.7 Hemi Charger RT while offer a lot more technology features and luxury comfort. A new SHO is getting hard to find, but my Ford dealer just got a new black 2018. With discounts and rebates, the car's MSRP dropped from $46,000 to $36,000. They also just got in a silver 2016 lease return with 38,000 miles with an asking price of $26,000. It looks new. I wish Ford would have taken the Taurus SHO serious and let the public know what this car has to offer. I'm going to grab one before they're gone.

[@pickygarage]

It is an amazing car! If you tune it it will make 500 hp on 93 easy which is wild!

[@pickygarage]

@Dan Thomas The tune is easy its just a flash tune. Once it is tuned you will have to run it on 93 octane but it will make 500hp. This car is not tuned and it runs of 87 low grade gas.

[@jglayden]

I have a 2017 SHO and my only complaint is that although the trunk is large, the hole through the rear seats when you put them down is small. I was really surprised when I tried to get a large screen TV home from the store and it didn't fit. The trunk was wide enough to put it through, so I lowered the rear seats to pass it through and it wouldn't fit. That's kind of crazy because I have had smaller cars that could have got it home. Otherwise I love this car and the power is there when you need it, even without mods. Get them while you can.

Now my 14’ has 177k miles. It has the original brakes and pads. The rotors are fine. the pads are getting bad so going to change them here soon. Maintenanced everything else through its life it’s had mostly highway miles and it runs fantastic for 177k. Hard car to get rid of. Only repairs it’s ever needed are 2 sensors a total 150$.

Byron Chavarria SHO is faster

NO3- Police Interceptor Faster

[@johnalexander6322]

That your 2013 SHO went to 130000 miles gives me hope for my 2014 Taurus 3.5 SEL

[@pickygarage]

It's a great car!

[@alanhassall]

@Martin Dennis My father has complained about the ride of my 2013 SHO. I assumed that the non-SHO's were a bit softer riding.

[@sarahspainhour7341]

Idk what he meant by "went to 130000" like did it just die or that it was at that mileage when they traded it or what? I have a 2001 Crown Victoria LX and it's at 275000 miles and still going strong.

[@geraldhulton6856]

On your 2013 did you experience any of the PTU issues? I have a 2014 MKS EcoBoost with 5300 on it.

[@pickygarage]

I had zero issues on the 2013!

[@mikeginsburg888]

We're about the same height. Do you have enough thigh support on the seat?

[@pickygarage]

What kind of hold are you looking for? Like sport bucket seats? Is there a car comparison that you could say you like the seats in?

[@mikeginsburg888]

I have a 2016 QX50 now which has a pretty comfortable seat and have recently had a bunch of Audi's that were good. On the other hand, I just test drove an MKZ where the thigh support on the standard seat was practically nil.

[@pickygarage]

@@mikeginsburg888 the thigh support on the sho is very minimal its more of a comfort seat with a little hold on the thigh section. They are very comfortable but not a super sports seat. They would probably be on par with the infinity.

[@PennsylvaniaPlinker]

I can't find a 0-60 time on this car. Anyone know?

[@jacobmoon6191]

4.7 secs

[@pickygarage]

quarter tank of gas you can get high 4 seconds. This car also can make 500hp with a tune and 93 octane.

[@Flamma-theSyrian]

does have it lane keep assist? and how much is it? thnx for the review btw

[@pickygarage]

Yes it lane assistance is a package its called Driver assistance package. The package includes the advanced cruise control which pretty much lets the car drive itself and then the lane keeping where it keeps you in the lines. I think its 1-2k option but i would not buy another ford without it! I have it on the Fusion this car and the explorer sport! Thanks for watching!

[@Flamma-theSyrian]

@@pickygarage yea I checked it out, too bad you can't get driver assistant package alongside the performance pkg I think I'll opt for the performance pkg though, you get a lot for your money and it makes the car handle a bit better

[@muffmaster]

Flamma the undefeated Syrian gladiator I’m sure I’m way late but I have a Mks and the lane keep assist sucks on it.

[@matthewbuckner4000]

U should talk more about the 2013 with 140,000 miles. Oh, and show yourself more on camera. Blinkers are turn signals

Depreciation?

[@muffmaster]

Don’t pay more then 20 it’s not worth it lol. Love my Mks surprisingly a lot nicer on the interior then the Taurus.

[@joezelik1653]

All of professional reviews i have seen / read complain about the cramped cabin in this car. Being 6'2" it keeps me from even considering it. Is this not true or what???

[@pickygarage]

Im 6'2" and I have tons of head room in the car. A great family friend of ours is 6'6" and his son is 6'8" and they daily drive a 15 SHO as well. The cramped head room would be in the back seats of the car in the earlier model SHO. I would not sit in the back seat of the 13 SHO we had because of the head room. With the 18 model ford fixed this with a bump out in the back for more head space. Hopefully that answers your concern with head room!

[@MrDanielmarlowe]

Josef Zelik I m 6 4 I just bought new a loaded SEL looks just like this one in this video just no turbo but 3.5 290hp. I fit fine in it. It is a serious luxury sedan like a BMW 5 series but bigger. I get 29 mpg highway.. I have these 20inch wheels too Black leather. Very comfortable car for long road trips.

[@lordarkay272]

Im 6 ft 4 that seat can be adjusted very VERY well

[@LangeLS4]

Great car but Idk about 23mpg lol I worked as Ford porter and drove it around town for salesmens needs and I was putting gas every other day got like 14-15 mpg (then again I stomped the pedal every chance I had but overall fun great car

[@alanhassall]

I don't drive my 2013 that fast in Iowa and the display always shows 23.5mpg. I don't know how accurate it is.

[@chico11432]

I do agree with you there! I really like the screen in my 2013 f250. i believe it is a 7 inch screen im not sure though. Thanks for watching
