Hi Scotty

[@hammerdown3876]

As a 23 year cop, I have had a 90 Vic, a 93 Vic, a95 Vic, a 2003 Impala, a 2005 Vic, a 2008 Vic, a 2013 hemi charger, a 2020 explorer, and currently a 2022 explorer. I miss my 2008 Vic.... not the fastest... but she was a tank... the impala was a complete POS, we got rid of all of them with 40k on them. The hemi charger, while the most fun Ive ever had in a police car, was also a POS, with all kinds of valve train and cooling issues. The 2 new explorers both had issues and had been to the dealer several times for stupid computer stuff and the 2020 dropped the AWD transfer case at 12k miles.

[@mikewypasek8855]

I have a 2010 Vic Interceptor and just got a 2020 Charger Pursuit. The Charger is beefier, more powerful, faster and fun. But the Vic is downright magical and I think I like it better :)

[@Joshtheweatherman]

Ford quality started going down a lot after they discontinued the Crown Victoria and Ranger. They cut a lot of peoples wages, and were paying new workers less. Hence is why the quality went down. It’s just the way it works, and Ford still makes up excuses for it.

[@ditiprel4]

you should get another crown vic. They may be grandpa cars, but are comfortable and reliable.

I hear ya. Last year I had to replace one of those on our 2007 Camry. I have my own tire gauges for each vehicle we have. HOWEVER, the Camry is my 'Wife's Car' and she wants to see if the tires are low or not. Personally I cannot blame her. She really does not ask much when it comes the the vehicles we have owned over the years. It gives her piece of mind and it gives me PEACE. LOL So I shelled out the ridiculous amount of money for just one of them and my Wife is happy. She wears business attire every day so I do not want her crawling around on the ground messing with anything car related. PLUS she works too. She makes money and she deserves to be listened to and taken care of. That is how a marriage of over 41 years works. LOL I do like the newer Tire Monitors in our 2022 RAV4 though.

The best police cars were the Ford Crown Victoria and Chevy Tahoe. We don’t like the smaller engines with Turbo. I don’t know much about turbos, but I do know the vehicles would always end up in the shop because the engines ran 24 seven and the turbo would fail.

I’ve got a 2009 Taurus SEL 120k miles. Those were when they became full size sedans but before they brought back the SHO. Let me tell ya, that thing is a massive hunk of a luxury sedan. Lots of rear legroom, tall roofline for ample headroom, and a humongous trunk, in fact the largest of any sedan in 2009, even bigger than a crown Vic. It is also longer than a Sienna of the same year and just 0.3 inches shorter than an Odyssey of that same year. It’s roomy, comfortable, and a the 3.5 L naturally aspirated Cyclone/Duratec engine with 263 HP makes that thing already quick despite its size. I can only imagine how much faster these SHOs are.

[@captrodgers4273]

in 2008 i got a 1999 crown vic with 98k miles on it for 800 bucks at the public auction and drove it till late 2022, the transmission went out at 290k miles, i was gonna put in another transmission but they also had another public police auction literally a couple weeks out so i was like well let me see what i can, i got a 2010 crown vic with 150k miles on it for 1800 bucks and it runs great. i also sold the 1999 as is for 800 bucks and the guy put in another transmission in it probably still drives it today! i buy retired police cars because usually i can get a good running vehicle for cheap ,the vehicles are usually well maintained and have maint records. the auction is usually exceptionally good at listing any problems the vehicles might have.....so when i need another vehicle im 100% sure is gonna be a retired police vehicle from the public auction. as long as they keep auctioning off good running vehicles and i can still win with a cheap auction bid im still gonna buy em

[@komradkolonel]

That's extremely unusual if he's got almost 200,000 miles on the original transmission unless that's about 90% highway miles. The SHO does have a bad rep for the transmission going out before 100,000 miles especially if you get on it often. Now the Taurus with the non turbo engines aren't bad cars and I think Ford was dumb for dropping them. The transmissions could easily go 200,000 if you took care of them.

[@adamowens5507]

[@atx-cvpi_99]

Yes those did have that problem. It didn’t matter if it was a 3.5, 3.5 Ecoboost, or 3.7. They all did have that issue. Coolant should be flushed every two years to prolong the water pump and keep an eye out on the weep hole by the alternator. When it starts leaking or you are mysteriously losing coolant, it’s time to do the timing chain and water pump and it’s a 14 hour job that will cost you at least $1500. Also if the timing cover leaks, do the timing chain and water pump while you’re there. Also only use Ford OEM Motorcraft parts for this job and don’t use aftermarket parts.

[@ClutchTacticsGaming]

@@oreally8605 hell yeah

[@floridaoutdooradventures8981]

The dashboard lights are flashing! It may have some electrical issues. Not a good omen...

[@scottyellis3442]

Hey Scottie, Scotty here I agree Ford isn't what they were years ago & I hate to hurt your feelings but Toyota Tundra and Tacoma aren't what they were years ago either. Their V6 turbo & 4 cylinder turbo are pure garbage also.

[@renkhachatoorian302]

A big powerful engine will need to be paired with a manual transmission, to be a real fun.

[@PeterRabbitWhatsup]

What ... Scotty not dieing today??? 😂😂😂😂😂

[@scottykilmer]

We’re all dying

[@keithsanders2792]

No, too busy shocking the world 😊.

[@herrschweissmann]

@@scottykilmer ain't that the truth

[@billhamilton355]

Scotty isn't dying today because he's being abducted by aliens... 😅

[@Arianna-vc3vq]

???

[@dwsherm1]

The [PTU's in Ford AWD vehicles are known to fail early from heat.He must change the fluid in it on a regular basis if it's original. The water pump is the other costly issue.

[@monty9169]

I have a 2013 camry at the moment and I'm seriously considering buying a 2018 Taurus a friend of mine is selling for a really good price. I drove it and I really like the Taurus. My only concern is that I don't want any suprises with the unexpexcted repairs. I was very comfortable with the camry in terms of maintainace. But I want a more comfortable car since I moved to a place which is a 50 minutes drive from work one way. Should go for the 2018 Taurus?

[@tales2797]

Had the same problem with my Taurus Sel 2013 ,Torque converter went out at 168,000 car kept jumping abit around 40 to 50 miles per hour had to get a new one put in love my Taurus plan on keeping it for many years, Sleeper can and very comfortable for long trips ,

[@hotroddave7597]

What happened to your grass Scotty ??

[@christophersoutherlin2631]

That's where he dumps his used oil 😂

[@Michael-yi4mc]

He has horses so that he doesn’t have to drive his Celica

[@buybuydandavis]

I thought GDI was officially Disapproved Of.

[@kimmorris7602]

I thought you didn’t care for cars with turbochargers!

[@brensdaman926]

They replaced the Taurus with the Fusion 😝

[@adamowens5507]

the fusion was discontinued a year later than the taurus in 2020

[@cartercoffin3679]

Same ecoboost as the F150. Pretty bulletproof for the most part.

[@PiPi-rx1qg]

this car is yamaha made sho v6 3.5l japan made

[@atx-cvpi_99]

The SHO 3.5 EcoBoost has absolutely nothing to do with Yamaha. It’s 100% made by Ford.

[@tomslick2058]

Most depts change cars every year.

[@thedustmancometh]

Most of the SHOs I’ve seen were made by Yamaha, I believe- it was basically a Japanese motorcycle engine -Ford had to use the Japanese belt, because it kept throwing the JUNK Ford Belts.

[@Cadillac61]

Crown Vic and Chevy Caprice are best. Btw not in that order.

[@elikemohammed7181]

So someone’s good enough to loan Lil Scotty a muscle car and he acts like a Reprobate Juvenile with it. 😂😂😂

[@DavenHiskey]

I miss my 94 4.6 Lincoln mark viii

[@billynomates920]

is 200k on a us car still like 100k on a uk car - ie: what's your 'magic mile/age' and has it increased? we used to sell our cars around 80-95k miles while they held a % of their original value as after 100k, a good set of tyres does more for it's value than make or model. full depreciation now happens at 130k. older cars aren't more valuable so money must be less so. 130/100 says 'felt-inflation' running 20-25%

[@mr.2cents.846]

A real gem.

[@COUNTINGSLURPULA]

CROWN VICTORIA 👑 OR MUSTANG. WOOT!

[@DesperadoTheTexasScratcher]

Too bad they don’t make the crown Victoria anymore. They till make the grand marquis, which is the exact car. I had 2 crowns. 4.6 ltr engines

[@charlessommers7218]

Great info 😊
