For this episode on Thatdudeinblue, we hop in a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO to show the world a hidden gem. With vicious acceleration, this review shows the power of one of the first Ecoboost cars ever released. It doesn't have the power of a CTSV or a Pontiac G8, but it gets the job done.

Dad: Turn up the boooost KID

[@WigglingWaffles]

Early 2018 I went car shopping. I had four criteria: 300+HP, 2010+, stick shift and AWD. Since evo's were way out of my price range, I "settled" on a SHO, and this is the video that really pushed me to do it. I've now had it for two years and I still enjoy every single time I put my hands on the wheel. It kinda sucks there isn't a manual option for them, and the automatic isn't 10/10; but it isn't a slouch. For the most part, it knows what you want, when you want it and knows what gear to deliver to you. Gas mileage is laughable unless you're locked at 70mph, but is still decent for being an AWD twin turbo V6. Air conditioned seats were the best invention on god's green earth and they compliment the absurdly comfortable seats very well. It makes me kinda salty to see them depreciating so quickly since I bought mine, but they're quickly becoming one hell of a bargain. They have upgrade potential and sit at an excellent price point for the features it has and how comfortable it is. Every friend I've given a ride has said something along the lines of "this is a nice car" or comments on how spacious it is. I have multiple friends who are 6'4" or taller and have yet to hear a whining peep about head or leg room. I'm just a guy on a youtube comment, but if you're looking at or interested in a SHO, do it.

Why. its only a 5 second car ($40k+). you could get a 2011 NISSAN 370Z - 4 sec car for 1/2 that. a 2012 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF R is faster. heck for an extra 10K you could get a 2020 Toyota supra. so many faster cars I would rather have for around the same price.

Luis Villa exactly. Not to mention a 370z is extremely outdated and can’t squeeze much power from it without throwing a bunch of mods at it unlike the SHO you could just simple throw a tune on it. On top of that the new BMW Supra is a total joke. Lastly I can fit 4 people in my car comfortably lol.

xxdaplayer5xx the 2017 are alright but for price these are way overpriced. Little details like the dash not lining up with other parts are very common. I have owned two sel and both had same flaws. The new 2017s have a new design where the windows fog up super fast, shut off the car and go into a shop for 10 minutes. Come back and turn on the fans and fogs up. New update on the alarm module is faulty. Plus the rear cameras has a problem ever since they launched it. The lines on the screen sometimes does not show up (annoying). David you say to-r-is (self explanatory)

I'm a certified Ford tech, I learned in school that when the 3.5l was first made back in the early 2000s engineers squeezed over 600hp out of it, now that most of the bugs have been figured out Ford claims the engine could produce those numbers efficiently and reliably through the life of the engine

How often do you see water pump failures on the Taurus and similar 3.5s? I've read that the WP is behind the timing cover, and if the pump goes tits-up, coolant can mix w/ engine oil. Boom, new $9000 engine required.

[@MrDecker8485]

Honestly not often! The only engines that are water pump eaters in my region are more the 5L in the f150's and the 2.0 ecoboost in the escapes (because the impellers are fucking plastic for crying out loud). The water pump would have to be dicked for awhile for coolant to mix with engine oil, that's more of a head gasket blowing type deal if you ask me.

[@jerremyyoder6796]

I sold mine about 4 months ago for exactly that reason. That was a cool $5k to fix. Luckily, the engine didn't overheat and that's all that it cost. Why the hell Ford would put a water pump inside the engine is beyond me!

[@marlenelake7396]

I love our 2010 SHO! It is just like the one you drove, the same color! It is such an awesome fun car to drive. People think it is a sleeper at the light and this grandma shows them what it's got!

[@DustyDrums11]

My first car was a 1994 SHO. When I first got it, I was slightly embarrassed by it's stigma. Boy, was I surprised! It ended up being one of the coolest rides in my high school parking lot. Fast forward to 2019: I just bought a new Taurus SHO. Coming full circle has never felt so good! It IS the ULTIMATE sleeper.

[@brasha78]

That is an awesome story. I wish I was at a place right now where I could buy one of these last 2019 essay chose it said that they discontinued it but I wonder it kind of makes you think could de bring it back in the future, kind of like they did with that first and second go around the SHO. I work at an auto auction lot and a 2010 showed up with 118,000 miles on it and the interior is something I’ve never seen it’s brown kind of like a caramel brown on black suede seats the doors match the seats and the exterior needs some attention. There was a Paint cover up on the front bumper that needs to be redone. Overall, the car is in pretty good condition. My one issue is that there is a cylinder misfire on one and the dealer that selling the vehicle has told me it has low compression, so realistically, I’m looking at either a new engine or a piston ring, overhaul and valves and today I’m gonna be taking it off the lot to drive it and see for myself. Part of me I am kind of nervous about taking on a project like that but this vehicle this specific one is worthy of being saved and I can pick it up for around $4500 and with the engine and all of that would probably put me around $10,000 and that’s how much these cars are going even with another 70,000 miles on it and that’s today so Wish me luck and I am happy for your new SHO. I hope to get into that vehicle here in the future. Oh and my bit of nostalgia and the connection to your comment was my brother had the 95 SHO and it was so fast and that is where I got my affinity for wanting an SHO because I remember riding in the backseat when we would go to the batting cages, and oh my God I was just thrown into the seat and when you’re 16 years old and you’re cool brother is taking out for a ride in his Ford Taurus SHO those are the things you just never forget.

I've been wanting to comment on this video for a while. I've been watching your videos for about 4 years now. I had a subscription to Tuner Magazine back in the day and remember a volume that had five sleepers in it. I've always wanted a sleeper and this video was mind blowing to me. I'm a sucker for larger cars. My mom drove a 300C for years. The SHO was a perfect car for me. I looked at used cars including the SHO for about two years and finally found a 2011 Taurus SHO. It's Kona Blue and with the 20inch factory rims. The guy blew up the engine but Ford replaced it. I got a great deal on it and have been driving it for almost 7 months now. I went from an '02 Camry to the Taurus an it was quite a shock with all the creature comforts. This is such a fun daily drive and this video made me want one. Thank you.

I just got a used '16 myself. No tech package so sadly no adaptive cruise. But I still grin like a total idiot when I have the opportunity to stand on it a little.

[@MrMalemodelalex]

I saw 4 videos before this one, and i have to say i really enjoyed it. Consistent, direct & fun. There are other guys with newer Taurus to review but just listening to their voices and the way they speak just makes you want to jump out of a window. Great video!

[@MacPointMan]

This is a truly amazing car. I own a 1989 SHO and now a 2010 SHO with Performance package. I have owned a Taurus SHO for over 2 decades now. It is amazing because he sais the same thing I always do when I hit the accelerator. Damn this thing just goes. It drives so smoothly and effortlessly that you do not actually realize how fast you are going until you look at the speedo on a curvy back country road just having fun driving the thing. That is about the time you see the flashing blue lights in the rear view (That ticket cost me $500 well in access of 70 MPH in a 35). That is truly a mark of a great cruising sports sedan. You ask it for speed and it straight up gives it to you and then some. I am a lover of the gear shifter but with this car you do not need it. It senses how much gas you are giving it and it shifts accordingly and extremely smoothly. 3rd gear has always been THE GEAR in an SHO and should be in most sports sedans. In my 1989 SHO if I want to get that jump I drop from 5th to third and punch it and off I go. This car is a cruiser not a Sports car do not expect it to break loose and drift. Its intent is to cruise, be fast and agile when doing it. It is supposed to be smooth and quiet. It is supposed to be a pleasure to drive and it most definitely is. It absolutely hugs the corners and surprisingly well for a car its size. When people get into your car and say "WOW this is a nice car" and "This is a Taurus?" You know you bought the right vehicle. When you look at it and say to yourself Man that's a good looking car even two years after you purchased it. When you just love sitting in it and driving it every day. That is when you know you bought the right car. SHO owners have been pronouncing it SHOW for a long time. That's just the way it has been and always will be. When Ford reintroduced the Taurus and the SHO It was immediately on my list. I regret not one single thing about buying this car.

[@jaydenlewis2526]

MacPointMan I own both a Ford Taurus sho and 2010 sho and yes they are tremendously fast and when you hit the accelerator it goes and they are very smooth my Taurus (older one) has a twin turbo and nitrous in it and I promise you I’ve killed 500+ hp cars and 2010 version of u listen closely you will hear a whistle and I have a borla exhaust on both

[@johnhalder274]

Yep I completely agree.i bought a tuxedo black metallic 2014 last December. I plan on getting another one in a couple years with 30, 40 thousand miles on it. I bought mine with well over a 100k miles on it but so far so good.

[@CrypticVT1]

MacPointMan I miss my 89 SHO so much!

[@carltongamble]

Dude I rented one and felt like selling my Mustang...Love the car but it does have a strange hump under the passenger seat. Hope Chris is doing well.

[@Beanjuice]

Taurus SHO has always been hilarious to me. I remember when I had a 99 SHO, people would stare at it; they couldn't believe the exhaust note that was coming out of it.

[@VBshredder]

Was that the circle / oval version? Cant believe they made a sho for that generation! Small v8 right?

[@Beanjuice]

@@VBshredder yeah tiny but I sounded like a beast

[@mhtube01]

Totally agree with you David, these cars are so much fun. My dad has a 2011 that he bought brand new and he still loves it. It has about 113k miles on it now and it's been a very reliable car too. It's bone stock but has the optional 20 inch wheels and pretty much all of the options. Definitely doesn't drive like a 4300 pound car and even the stock acceleration is very impressive. It's been taken on numerous road trips and is super comfortable for 4 adults. Like you said too, nobody knows about these and it blows the doors off of a lot of cars out there!

[@NathanSynth]

Ford has generally been stepping their game up these past 5 years. I own a 2014 Ford Focus SE and it has a delightful amount of torque. I can only imagine driving an RS

[@WPGinterceptor460Interceptor]

I remember in the late 80's when the SHO came out and it was faster than the Camaro!

[@dingomanz7]

Faster than a mustang too

[@WPGinterceptor460Interceptor]

@@dingomanz7 nooo! MustanG ran 0-60 in 6.5 to 7 flat, SHO ran 7-7.5, CAMARO WAS 7.5! facts!!!!!

[@hunterschroeder5044]

I just got a 2012 Ford Taurus limited with AWD and I absolutely love it and I know it’s not the same as the SHO but it is very quick for just a regular 3.5L. Absolutely love the car!

[@timschmidt3784]

I had a 2018 Taurus SEL 3.5L. One of the most underrated vehicles when it was in production. I bought mine in Wyoming and drove it 11 hours to California with only stops for gas and food. When I got home, I wasn't even tired. Leather seats were so comfortable.

[@martinspano1]

As a GM Guy for years, I gave in to the Taurus, and I'm glad I did. Can haul the car seat around and cruise, and have my spirited drives when I'm on my own!

[@Potatofarmer1898]

The one thing that kept me from buying this is that it felt so much like a coffin when I was in it. Very claustrophobic. The MKS has the same engine, even stealthier looks and can be modded as easily and nowadays both can be had with decent mileage for less than 18K.

[@livingroomguitarist7]

The engine from what I believe is low boost, and the reason for that is because the transmission was pretty maxed out for the torque the engine produces. Interesting to see if anyone that modded the engine is having transmission issues.

[@mohammadadil4175]

Yup. The trans and PTU (Transfer Case) are the only real letdown parts of the drivetrain. And they are a big letdown, unfortunately. The transmission is ok, just a little slow there are aftermarket improvements for it but the PTU is dogshit. Even in the NA cars, they blow up regularly. Mine is on its way out and I'm hoping that I can get a built PTU with a cooler for my Taurus.

[@masonlink2091]

I went and test drove one to see what it was like and I turned the corner and the guy who worked at the dealer told me to hit the gas and it put an instant smile on my face. He was laughing and I ended up buying it and I love it.

[@metalmagnet187]

As a person who most likely has owned more Taurus SHO’s than… well- 99% of Americans… I will say they are tremendously fun and are outstanding. My first was a 1996 with the 3.4 liter Yamaha V8 engine. That car was not a hot rod, however it was very fun and you could skin up unsuspecting vehicles around town- with three or four good buddies in tow! I then bought a Camaro and enjoyed it for a while, but then the Camaro broke and I needed options. I, in turn, bought a 1994 SHO - green automatic, no sunroof. That was a surprisingly quick car for cheap! It was super low miles, all original, and I bought it for like 600 bucks and drove it 4.5 hours home! Then the domino effect took place and I had rotating SHO’s for years in almost every imaginable configuration. When these came out it was only a matter of time before I added one to the stable. Currently I am SHO-less… but watching this video made me set out to the marketplace to see what was available locally. The next thing you see from me on KZbin might just be a Taurus SHO video! Thanks for the great video, as always and look forward to many more!

I bought a 2019 Taurus SEL back in 2020 (it had sat on the dealer lot for a year, and I could never understand why). It was a 6 cyl, AWD, sunroof, cloth seats, automatic, Ruby Red. it was a GORGEOUS car and I loved driving it. It was so quiet and smooth, and the gas mileage was superb. I LOVED that car, and I loved even more that it was 36K sticker and I got it for 26K after the rebates and dealer discount. Well I had it for about a year and put 6000 miles on it and then, like a dummy, I traded it for a 4 cyl 2020 Jeep Cherokee because I wanted more room. I ended up trading that for a 2021 80th anniversary Jeep Cherokee with a 6 cyl, which was loaded. I loved that jeep and eventually traded it, along with a 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn, for a 2022 TRX. I do not miss the Cherokees even though the 2021 was a fantastic jeep. But I DO miss my 2019 Taurus SEL. What a gorgeous, perfect car she was. I really regret letting her go. Not even a SHO and she was just a great car. SNIFF. If I could find one exactly the same with low miles, i'd buy her. Alas, not holding my breath. Great video, David.
