    Since the early 1900s, Ford has maintained its status as an American car manufacturer for the people. And with that long reign as one of the top automotive manufacturers around, there have been ups and downs for the company. One of the turning points though for Ford was when they released the very first Ford Taurus SHO. Today Alex sits down to talk about the futuristic grocery-getter that saved Ford, the Ford Taurus SHO

      I was the proud owner of a 2013 SHO Performance Pack, tuned by Livernois. She unfortunately went to car heaven in an unfortunate accident. I loved her with all my heart. She was murdered out and the license plate was LORD VDR.
      People in front of me used to slow down in the passing lane if they saw me, and I'm fairly certain I've flown under the radar a few times when speeding, been ignored by officers. I drive a '16 S6 now, and it's by all performance accounts a better car. But there will always be something about the presence that SHO had on the road. Big, burly, imposing. An absolute freight train of a long distance cruiser.
      Y'all would be smart to consider a used one.

      I've always changed the oil every 3k and trans fluid every 5k in my 2013 SHO and its never let me down all the way up to 200,000 miles, only thing that happened in those 200k miles majorly is the PTU gave out on me because it wasn't properly serviced fluid wise, which I have known about PTU failures so I wasn't really surprised, still drove home even when the PTU was in 2 pieces. I honestly beat the shit out of it and it doesn't seem to care, I live on a dirt road and some times drive it like a damn rally car and it still drives fine with plenty of power. Seriously underrated car imo.

Paid half of what the original owner paid. I absolutely love it. She's tuxedo black, de-badged, and I deleted all the chrome. Black carbon fiber wrapped the disgusting bronze colored dash trims.

      Ptu issues only exist because people never changed the ptu lube. My 2011 hennessey SHO has factory ptu and zero problems at 191k. I believe that the performance pack cars had the drain plug in the ptu, mine does. And it is a pp car.

      @@tonyblackburn5002 Its not just "not changing the fluid." There is a fundamental flaw in the design since the exhaust pipe is so close to the ptu, it cooks the fluid inside. Even though the fluid had the ability to go 30,000 to 50,000 KM...the extreme heat renders it unfit very quickly.

    Usually I prefer Mopar, but when I totaled my 300 earlier this year I needed a replacement car. I was scared of the water pump and timing chain failure in Ford’s 3.7l-3.5l engines. After some very frustrating times searching for a car, I settled on a 2018 SHO since it came with a Ford preowned warranty.
    Now I can say for sure that this car won’t lose to stock V6 Camaros and stock ecoboost mustangs like the 5.7l hemi does lol.
    I really like the SHO a lot, they’ve come a very long way since the 2011 SHO I owned a few years ago. Some advice for anyone who wants a SHO/MKS: Try to get a 2016 or newer if possible. Sync3 is WAY better than myfordtouch. Also, I’m a bit spoiled and like digital speedometers which is an added feature beginning in 2016.

    Had one. Been there. Done that. A 1989.
    The original Yamaha SHO motor was a one of the best engines ever put in a car, IMO. Definitely the best ever in a Ford. But the clutch and manual transmission were hard to shift. Ford recalled the clutch because it failed by 50k. Still, the SHO would outrun a same era Mustang GT. It would pull hard after shifting into 5th at 120mph, until it redlined at 145. Stunning. If you changed the pulleys and chip do it would rev 1500 RPM higher and sing Glory Be! Stock, it got 30mph on the freeway. In 1989! But only if you kept your foot out if it. Around town the mileage was around 17mpg.
    The maximum mileage we ever got out if a set of tires: 18,000. That was the car's biggest negative to own, IMO.
    Anyway, Ford eventually took over, redesigned the internals, started manufacturing the motor instead of importing it from Yamaha. They cut corners, turned it into a 8 cylinder POS, and it started failing internally. Ford really screwed that pooch.
    Instead, they should have built a car around the Yamaha motor and just called it "SHO" or Shogun. But Ford built a different 2 door model car instead, a real piece, who's name I will not speak. Its lineage died off and no longer exists.
    My wife kept the SHO and got T-boned 3 months after we split up. IMO, she did not deserve it, so Karma took it away from her.
    I ended up buying 1997 Maxima SE. Great motor too, I still loved that SHO more. I still have the Maxima. I had to replace 2 coils at around 188k miles, and 2 belt pulleys. That's it. It's not quite as quick as the SHO and the leather seats are uncomfortable. Otherwise, its a better car all around.

    - Yamaha was brought on to make the V6 for said car.
    - by 1987 Fiero was dead, ford changed plans and decided the engine they've already contacted Yamaha to build needs to go somewhere. Gee, this fwd super stylish new Taurus JUST won 10-best and became one of the most popular cars in the country, lets put it there.
    - End result 1989 Taurus SHO
