So much misinformation in this video! The 3.7 replaced the base 3.5 non ecoboost as the standard motor in 14-15. The 3.5 Ecoboost is still available. I drive one with an Ecoboost and there is no lag, that's why it's a twin turbo. The only real problems we have with them is the water pumps go down around 90k but that effects all three engine choices. Never had one Issue with transmissions. Some of them smoked due to early problems with the PVC system, but that was remedied in a TSB. This Video is just bad!
You didn't substantiate any of your claims. The Ecoboost has so many mods and tunes to get to 400+ HP cheaply. The 3.7 has more chance of the water pump failing, which you don't mention. Seems more like you are suffering from Turbo envy.
So I have a 2013 Taurus SHO non pp and it's has 80k I have it tuned and modded. The car is a monster I haven't had any issues what so ever. And you say turbo lag? Even when my car wasn't tuned it shined at the bottom end no lag. But when I tuned it it woke up the animal zero lag and huge power. I put to shame srt8's mustangs etc.
tell people about the Waterpump issues with the 3.5 AND the 3.7....its a 2500+++ job at the dealer,and that's only if you didn't blow the engine when the INTERNAL Waterpump lets go and dumps anti-freeze into the oil,in mass...that's why you can get a Taurus,and Exploder,I mean Explorer cheap,that's why most departments don't run them 60- 90k or so.I was at a Auction,in Maine,and found a repair receipt from Quirk Ford of Maine for 5170.00,for heads,and waterpump,timing chain !! they sent it through the auction 2k miles later! and I like Fords,I'm not hating,just spreading the word...so IF you buy one of these poorly designed loads,get ready for the Waterpump,timing chain,etc...I'm sticking with a rust free Crown Vic,or better yet,a well maintained Hemi Charger,even.Good luck,guys
I have a 2013 Interceptor with Ecoboost. 219,000 miles. I have replaced one fuel injector and just replaced the tranny. Still hits 150mph. Bone stock. Still love driving it
I have the Lincoln MKS with the ecoboost, sure enough at 70,000 the PTU (power transfer unit) for the AWD went out, $1,580 but no turbo lag. If you maintain the PTU by replacing the gear oil in it it'll be just fine. I found out the hard way. as for mods a tune from SSI tuning will put you at 12.6 in the 1/4
When I bought my last car, I wanted to get an ex police vehicle due to many reasons, just a couple being the maintenance always done on them, the heavy duty parts, and I love the way they look. I had to make a decision between a charger, impala, taurus, or crown vic. I ended up going with the crown vic because I love the way they look, I am 6'5 so I wanted something roomy, they are super comfortable, and I wanted a v8 as well. It is a 2008, I have put over 35k miles on it, have not had one issue with it. Gas mileage isn't amazing I mean its a v8 & the car weighs over 4000 pounds but its not horrible either. I drive pretty heavy footed most of the time and a decent bit of city driving - I normally average around 18-19 mpg.
I have a 2013 police interceptor with the 3.5 non turbo. I'm at 200,000 miles and the only thing I've replaced is the transfer case. This is definitely a well built car and I'm a Chevy guy
Guys im sorry about the audio i dont know what happened😭

I like the way the Taurus Interceptors look... But I'll just stick to vics.

This car is a Ticking time bomb. Once the water pump goes, your engine is ruined. Do your research. They look kinda intimidating though.
I'm buying one to scare the poopoo outta people. 🚓
if money ever is no object I'll buy a Taurus Interceptor to add to my collection
OVER $1400 TO REPLACE A WATER PUMP.....HELL NO!
Basically nothing actually covered, warning beforehand to anyone else.
Too lazy to look everything up but there seems to be several incorrect things in this video...

The 3.5 Ecoboost have virtually no turbo lag that's the beauty.
I actually love my 2010 Taurus SEL AWD. I named her "Ophelia"

The thumbnail is from my hometown! Sweet!! These 4 Tauruses were for the Mackinac County Sheriff's Office
Nice info on the Taurus. I'm anxious to start seeing these at surplus auctions so I can get me one! -Chris
