Hi Scotty

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.

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.

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. I like to be able to see what the air pressure is on each tire.

There are probably more Fairmonts running than the Taurus even if a previous generation. Every weld rusted around the Taurus but bottom of car fine. There was so much rust in front of the hood air inflated the hood like a balloon opened up even with hood still shut.

Plus with the built-in navigation I don’t have to have my phone plugged in to Apple CarPlay, and have it constantly charge so that’s a plus for the built-in navigation too.

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.

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.

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%

Both the V6 and the V8 engines were Yamaha designed. The 3.4 V8 had issues with cam gears. Ford almost did used Volvo’s Yamaha V8 instead of the EcoBoost until Ford sold Volvo. Unfortunately it’s very difficult to get parts for these Ford Taurus SHOs from the 1990’s these days. It’s like having a Dodge Stealth/Mitsubishi 3000GT. Parts are also hard to come by for them.

@atx-cvpi_99
@atx-cvpi_99 Місяць тому
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.

@@atx-cvpi_99 important to note is that it's only for transverse engines. The longitudinal ones like in the F150, Mustang, and the new Explorer should not have that problem since it's a different design.

Careful the engine mounts are bolted in sheet metal. When the sheet medal around rips the engine drops a few inches if your lucky. And damages the steering box. When it happened to me I was on a slight bend of round when it was time to go straight gain the steering wheel wouldn't move and I was in the opposite lane. I was able to force the steering wheel and stop the car in opposite lane shoulder. Avoid a head collision. Ford had car and called no warning to pick up car from shop end of day on a Friday said if I don't pick up car today they will charge $100,s per day. So I rushed to pick up car at Ford dealership and said car in outside in the back I will bring to the front. A few minutes later he comes outside saying the car engine fell again they forgot to put the mounts on. So how did it make it outside in the back. Ford President only response was sorry unfortunately this is not Honda. And the amount of pressure they gave me to drive across Toronto during rush hour minutes before closing. Remember tie rods are plastic joints that break ever year if not sooner. Body rust in every welded area
